政府有9年免費教育, 點解有咁多家長都會幫小朋友選擇私校或直資?

stevema

If only want kids to speak good English, I would consider to study aboard earlier (after having studied Chinese good, of course).  Media is not my only concern. Also, personally, I feel Chinese language system is more difficult, especially writing, if cannot pick up good in childhood, hardly can manage.

其實官津校/私/直資都一樣可以培育到人材既,唔係個個家長都認為要比錢既學校就好野泥既！佢地一定已經左算右算．

私校同津校只係banding ratio既問題, 好似私校既宣道為例有84%band one,甘個人認為作為一個香港taxpayer,應該要享有9年免費教育,甘咪行過對面讀免費既九官,一般既官津校係３ｘ％，上進d可以去啦沙,協恩,瑪莉x.......出名ｄ官津校會有over 50%band one．但一些名校家長既子女因追不上佢地ge艱深課程，不惜用一萬/幾千為子女補習班，可能得不常失！

其實只係香港人唔慣比錢交學費庶！係日本，美國， Canada，要有優質既教育，都係要比錢換番泥（優質既教育＝ｍｏｎｅｙ）．

微軟的蓋茨佢亞媽當年有政府學校都唔比佢讀，送左蓋茨去一間當時有電腦學既私校，蓋茨真係要多謝佢亞媽．

I believe most of parents nowaday are having certain educational background. They will make the right choice for their kids. Therefore, no matter what their choice are, they will have the back up for their kids. Also, most of the Hong Kong people are so smart, they want to make full use of the benefit from government i.e. the nine years free education. They will use the address for those famous school for lucky draw and also apply for famous private school for back up. Then, until last minute if they got free school what they want they will give up the private one. Its not fair to those really want to apply private schools' parents.

我自己就覺得同政府選校方案有關, 因為好多時你住宅區既學校校風or其他未如理想, 其他區你又沒有機會入.  我相信個個家長都想比最好既小朋友, 所以寧願節衣縮食都要比小朋友讀好d.  私校唔平, 如果入到心目中既學校, 相信沒人會選私校.

Exactly!  Those subsidized schools I like were not in my 住宅區 and during the lucky draw, I did not choose any school in my school net as I would not send my children there.  Have a seat in 心目中既學校 seems to be out of our control.  :cry:

Primary education is a critical time for schooling.  As parents, 私校 would be one of the ways out.

I believe most of parents' 心目中既學校 are almost the same and countable by fingers. For my personal opinion, even you are luckily get into them. Not only the kids need to compete with other classmates but also the parents are competing.
Most of the mothers are working mothers, do they have time to take care the homework and other activities of their kids?

Hi stephanieshum,

I become confused on your point of view.

You said earlier that parents 'will make the right choice for their kids. Therefore, no matter what their choice are, they will have the back up for their kids'.  Certainly, I fully agree with you on this assertion.  As I once said before that studying in a government subsidized school does not mean you don't have to put in effort and extra financial resources to support your kid.

As to the 2nd paragraph in your last opinion, do you mean that going to a private or DSS is an alternative for working mum who doesn't have enough time to guide and help her kid?  In case your answer is affirmative, my next question that follows is:  Are you saying that students in private or DSSs will be able to perform well without additional support and guidance of their parents after school?

Grateful if you will clarify my doubts.

To LLT:
Actually, I only have one kid who will study for P.1 next year and I already applied DSS for him.
As I heard from most of my friends that their kids now studying at government or subsidary schools. They have lot of homework everyday and all my friends are working mother. They felt very tired after work but still need to take care of those homework and revision everynight until 10pm.
I also have some friends and my sister's kids are studying at DSS or private school. Most of the homework can be finished at school. The kids are so happy and have leisure time for other activities.
Why I mentioned that because for some subsidary schools they want to survive, so they will push the students in order to get good acadamic results.
Besides, I read most of the articles in BK about the feature of DSS and private schools. They are not only pay attention to their acadamic result. Kids can develop their talent better if they got more spare time.
I always believe no free lunch.

LLT

stephanieshum,

Thank you for your clarification.

Studying in government subsidized school may not necessarily be the case as described by your friends so long as you are willing to give extra resource in support.  In the example of my son, who is now studying primary 1 in the p.m. class of a government subsidized school, we can have lot of time to chat with him or for leisure after school.  This is because he goes to tutorial class in the morning, where he is guided to do his homework and revision.  The tutor said we can simply leave the job for her if we want to.

More importantly, I find my son so happy with his present school that, according to him, he likes his primary school much more than his last kinder in which there was virtually no homework at all.

一句囉，為勢所迫，有頭髮邊個想做瘌痢?直資係教育署近年推出黎配合小一入學改機制既產物，表面上俾家長多個選擇，實質係可卸下負擔津校教師薪金及其他福利果筆龐大開支。

有家長計算過未能受惠於小一入學機制，當然轉而向私校、直資。等如如果配唔到好似華富

I think you need to increase your sample size before drawing these conclusions.

小朋友選擇私校或直資,要有優質既教育,   要比錢補習班(English/Mandarin),how about the pressure comes from school/parents/student,可能得不常失$$$$$?

要有優質既教育,小朋友選擇 international school,比錢學補Mandarin, is it much better ? Or send her to Singapore international School to learn both languages? (No more pressure)

Otherwise, keep the children studying in 津校 ?

It is my question ????????????       

思樂媽媽

TOTALLY AGREE !!!

比我重新再揀過的話, 我不旦再不會揀番現在讀緊的私小, 我會選擇番 11 有獨特IB課程這問.

one more point:
- kids are all chosen, they will be the frinds of your child. so are their parents.

有很多......很多嘢想學到、想得到：

1. 陳守仁的英語和法語學習環境
2. 新小拔的全人教育，如每學期可選修：陶瓷、攝影、禮儀、日文、韓國文化.....
3. 培僑的通識課，及中英文科用國內及英國教科書
4. 優才的資優教學及跳班
5. 真道的快人一步：11年修畢中小預科課程
6. 弘立的英普IB課程
7. 蔡繼有的圖書教學，中西雙班主任
8. 培正的科學探究精神
9. 音小的音樂教學課程
10. 小女拔的課程，令學生有優越的寫作能力
11. 維多利亞的獨特IB課程，中文和數學用本地課本
12. 聖士提反的宿生體驗
13. 方方樂趣的小班IB課程
14. 啟基的五心教育，愉快學習

培正都係私小，所以直資和私小又點會只係 Native English Teachers 咁簡單。最重要是它們在課程上的設計，可以和官津完全不同。不同的直資和私小提供不一樣的選擇給家長。這樣家長可以根據小孩的需要，選擇適合的課程。[/quote]

No matter what the choices are, the most important is the children can enjoy their school life.

totally agree, DSS is only a form of financing the school,

The reasion is the standard and the envoirment of the govt school are not better than DDS or private school.   Also no security and the sys always changes , like dresses. Sometimes wears red, sometimes black,.... To compare with the edu in singapore, HK is one of the international city without international edu.

We just want to have a security and  good eng envoirment for our kids only.  To pay more for a good foundation and hope to get  a seat in university.   So I think smart parents will not take a risk and all of them love their kids so much, they dont mind to pay more to change a life of their son.
To be al specialists or artists;
To be a doctors or workers;
To be a leaders or assistants;
we dont know yet.  If we know more languages and knowledge, we must find a good jobs.

The diff is 1:15  or 1:40
Smart kids like to express himself and create a lot of things but teachers alway need to control the class and never to let their student for discussion in class.

So a lot of students only spend all the time to do homeworks , like a machine , no more creative and characters.  Students go karaok, play internet games, walking around, nothing to do, create troble things to make their parents angry or get a consideration.
So many negative outcome

Do you understand?  Adults edu is most important than students. Before marry, we need a married edu.
Before having baby, we need to know how to take care babies.  

Good gov't schools have not enough seats for our kids , that why we choose DDS or private schools.

You dont want your students in a Band Five school, right?
