St Paul Coed Mc Road - Waiting list

bk2005

First of all, I haven't asked the questions you mentioned. However, I understand why the parents asked those questions and I don't think asking those questions are stupid behavior. If you queue up in the fast food shop, I think you also want to know how many ppl are in front of you.

If the parents can know more information, they know more the situation and will not be too worry and nervous. I think it is a kind of expressing feeling. Will you allow your another half or your child to do that?

Good luck to your another half and your child.

Well, I am also nervous, and I am also distreseed. But I won't do anything beyond the line.

And, I know that I really want to ask the school a lot of questions, especially why someone else gets a seat but my son didn't, but I clearly know the difference between "I can ask" and "what I should not ask". I also have strong desire to pick up the phone and ask, but my self control and rationalsim tell - DON'T, this will not work, and will not help.

The way in which mrswwong reacted to unpleasant thing may pass down to her child. Don't forget that whatever we decide or do, someone (our child) is watching and learning. Say, if you can't get the information you want from someone, then he/she = "doesn't make sense" ... What kind of logic is this? Can you simply project your stress and anger simply to someone who is not enpowered to disclose the information? Think clearly, the "inch lady" mentioned by mswwong is probably a clerk, she can do nothing and can tell nothing, or even doesn't know anything.

Of course I used strong words amongst ourselves, but I am not so worried about this because we are all grown ups. But my initial point is, our children are learning from us, we are role models. Next time, THINK BEFORE YOU ACT. Otherwise, some day, when the child gets an unexpected result, he will lose his head will do unreasonable things in the same way.

唔好咁火 , 當你個小朋友o係waitlist而做父母既, 問多2句學校都唔彩, 果種辛苦真係"不足為外人道"
(我而家都係on waitlist, 不過唔係spcc, 我直頭問幾多人second in, 唔講, 咁而家幾多on waitlist, 唔講, 有無人無黎register, 唔講, 幾時call waitlist, 唔講, 一個字: 慘!)
不過幾時, "辣"著間學校都係不智既, 不如發奮圖

First of all, please do not discriminate a clerk!  A clerk could be more sensible than you.  I am now a housewife and I used to be a nurse.  My elder daughter is already 14 studying in the UK.   The reason to know when is the registration date is that someone might have not shown up at the registration date and after that the waitlist might have a chance (although it is minimal).   Being a no. 1 school with high expectation on the personality and discipline of their student, I expect their staff to be polite and in good manner and not treating themselves as the King & Queen.    My son is on the waitlist, I do think that I have the right to know when is the registration date (so that I know by which date, I might have a chance).  It is a pity that you don't know what you should know!!   After reading this, I am sure you will hit me back, but don't waste time as I will not response to you anymore.  This a chat room and not a place for fighting!

mrswwong,

My son is on the waiting list too.

If I were you, I might ask the same question to SPC too. I will also try to make an appointment with Ms. Wu to see whether she will interview us again.

Why do u assume she phone to the school in front of the child and concluse that her worries will pass to her child. Use your words, what kind of logic???
I don't understand why u used so strong words to attack others.Using your words,do u afraid it is not a good role model & will u "think before you act" next time?

Mrswrong,

I understand your feeling. As gogchurch said, there're still chance for some boys and girls may give up the seats after notifying DGPS & DBSPD s' acceptance.

Good luck!

If only the worries passed to the child, it's still not a big problem.

If the "you don't make sense" is passed to the child, it's a BIG problem.

Don't use strong words to children, but if I see someone slapping her child, I will use my strongest action - call the police. So, when I hear some adults verbally abusing others just because she is under stress, I use strong words to stop her.

This is my simple logic.

I heard that everyone who got second interview will either be accepted OR be on the waiting list.  Not much chance for those on waiting list since you can expect the telephone of the headmistress ringing all day from calls from old boys or girls, bankers, politicians, AD and DD for their kids or kids they want to help.
I gave up all hope already and am not thinking about it anymore.

Although my son got the chance to have 2nd interview, finally we did not attend, because I know the chance is less.  If we attended the interview, I think the result is the same.  "WAITING LIST"       

ms

Why did you apply this school at the very beginning?  

mouserabbit

Just practice.     

ms

I see.  Why didn't you let yourself practise too? Don't get mad! Just want to chat!
