"York"又有大新聞喎!!

Hi, 猴子爸
你是否有kid或朋友kid在York. 請给對York感受.
Thks.

我的小孩是被Stafford的07年班取录了。
我喜欢Stafford的小班教学，也知道York的英语程度很高，Letterland是一套很好的Phonics教材.

bonbonyy

請大家細心留意留言，York的英文程度及教學方法，大家並沒有質疑。而我亦認同Letterland的教學效能(當然要配合家庭溫習，不要指望只靠學校。)
大家所討論及不齒的是經營者的掠水手法，當然很多私校都賺錢，但怎也不會像York一樣走法律"la"，甚至犯法去賺錢吧！一間沒有教育良心的學店，如你還認為沒問題的話……   
當然，有家長會堅持只要子女學到野便OK。但作為家長為子女選校時，是否真的只看這些呢？咁就要留給大家自己考慮啦……
最後，重申一句，說出這些事實，只是給想知的人一些參考，並沒有逼你信！還有，當有這麼多人眾口一詞的時候，你還是覺得是抹黑、誣蔑的話……那真的無話可說了……也真要想想說出這些事的人有甚麼好處呢……

bonbonyy,
我相信你一定在約克裡工作過.
這間學校是不是真的沒有教育良心,外人真的無從稽考,但若果在那裡工作過的老師都有這麼大怨氣,他的HR Management就可能真的做得不好,但這些老師卻不致於把這間學校描繪得像黑店一般,說成讓小孩在那裡讀書就是大蠢材吧!

bonbonyy

我是否在York做過也不是問題吧！這個行頭有多大呢？很多事，行內人都是很清楚的…只是某些學校的手法實在太過分，才有那麼多人出聲吧！
從沒人說選這學校的家長是蠢材，只是大家看事物的角度不同罷了……

I just wonder why there are many finger pointing at York.

Earlier years, they are accused of cooking macaroni for the kids. The fact is, the nursery downstairs in my estate has been cooking for snacks every day for years. I don't think they have licence!!!!!!

Here, the dispute between shareholders are putting under magnifying glass. What's the point?

The interest classes are all voluntarily participation, a choice for parents. I don't care who is running those, you can choose not to join if you don't feel interested. I didn't join at all, except Cambridge, and the course proves to be useful. My kid got full marks in the 2nd year they joined the exam.

I believe it is not fair making a big fuss of all the management issues. As parents, my concern is can the school bring up my kids in a very fruitful way, are the teachers nice and responsible? You have also confirmed their teaching approach and this is what the parents want to hear.

Thanks!

我亦相信如果真係咁差，間學校一早已經執笠啦，你仲可以睇到新聞咩。不過就算揀SC同KV都係一樣牟利，只不過大家商業手法唔同，而且間間牟利都係咁，如果個個都係咁樣話牟利，點解仲有咁多家長比小朋友讀。

最後，我亦比我小朋友讀YORK既出年K1，唔係因為我會出年讀先至講，只係個人意見。

bonbonyy

在此，真的好想問大家一句：問心，如果York 不是在九龍塘的話，大家還會選擇嗎？

這樣問，沒特別意思的，只是真的好想瞭解一下家長的心態。

twinnelui

我亦好相信唔係九龍塘讀書就好似好咩野咁，而係大家要中立對事，如果真係要揀出名，咁梗係揀香港區好啦。

我亦好明白你post出黎既意思係想各位家長留意，我好相信各位家長覺得揀唔揀依間學校，再講落去都冇意思。

據我所知所見及親身經曆,york 是不會主動解顧老師的。但每年也有超過十位老師離職,今個學年也是如此。即使是已經開學,亦有幾位老師相繼離職,導致要換班主任。老師離職原因當然各有不同,其中一個就是因不認同/看不過眼校方的辨學手法。而離職理由絕非校方向家長所講,因老師身體有事,需要休息!

N1有家長觀課,你們以為真的可以看到小朋友的實際上課情況嗎?只是當時全校合演一場好戲給家長們欣賞罷了!!!除了有出通告(時裝表演、節慶活動等)的活動外,你們以為平日上課真的有活動教學/小組上課嗎?連做功課時也只是望著黑板照抄答案而已,有什麼教學可言?

我在這裡說的是真相/內幕,不相信或不喜歡知的可以當這是一宗八卦新聞,看罷便算。

bonbonyy

對此，我亦略有所聞，由開學到宜家，最少有三位班主任老師離職(而且是已工作了數年的資深老師)。開學了不足三個月便已是這樣，難道大家覺得對孩子沒影響嗎？(幾位都是N1的老師，這點歡迎York N1的家長証實一下)一些做了幾年的老師都選擇離開(還要選擇在這時候)，我想當中的原因真是不足為外人道吧……

佢地成日換老師,都係其中一個我唔選擇俾女女入讀o既原因

kyliema2006

小兒去年於約克畢業，又未曾聽聞一年換十位老師，過去數年曾教過小兒的老師，到畢業仍在呢！

無可否認，約克絶對是一間牟利幼稚園，推出各類活動供家長自由參與，而收取價格與市場接近。問題是此類活動的質素如何呢？對於本人來說，是没有欺場的。

雖然約克以公利主意教學，此做法我不太苟同，但我仍很欣賞它某些的教學方法，除了phonics的訓練令小兒終身受用，至今我都不愁他的串字能力，其實也不需怎溫習。每次旅行的安排，我亦是欣賞，在整過旅行的旅程，老師都會設計各類遊戲以教導生活常識，從生活

kyliema2006,

                     我明白做為家長的,如果辭職的老師不是任教自己小朋友的老師，是不清楚校方一年換成十個老師的。因為學校有八號、十號及十四號校舍,家長不清楚其他校舍老師的變動。而且學校有很多位老師,家長不察覺也不奇。

情義兩心知

哎！乜York 又攪出咁多是非呀！剛剛才幫孩子交左留位費，就聽到呢單新聞，真令我有點不安！
而家嘗試搭上搭(其實都好多搭下)，有friend話識人剛剛入左York 做老師，希望收到D料啦！等我安心D，真的很怕為囡囡作了錯誤的選擇呀！ :-|

依家 york o既情況就好似SKII 咁,SK II 夠係著名日本化妝品牌 LA,個個都以為名牌就係寶,名牌一定好GA.如果有人話SK II 唔好,你地都唔一定會相,而且佢仲有一定o既支持者。但SK II 最終都被驗出含有禁用物質 LA.

我之前都o係其他topic 講過,我有朋友o係入面做,所以佢地d「奇招」我都知唔少，所以提醒大家要小心選校!

Dear 人心 and bonbonyy:
First, I have no relation to York.
In my view point, most of private school's task is to make profit, so what they need to do is to please the parents, provide the 'service' they required to their kids, e.g the English environment, teaching method, after school service etc. But it's fair if they can do it well. We don't care how much they earn but they get the work done.
Alternatively, the HR management and the financial status of the school is not the top priority to choose school. Frankly speaking, we all expect they do them all perfect, but it's hard to find such 'dream' school.

I understand the view point of teachers and parents to judge the school is a bit difference. Anyway, thanks all of you provide the valuable information.
Lastly, can you suggest some good kindergarten in your mind.
