我的女在計分己入瑪利諾修院小學,而私校也有九龍塘錄取,而我覺得york現在的中文程度也不差了,好像上中文課的課本和根德園是一樣的

So...I think you'll choose MCS, right?
Would u mind let me know how many marks do u have cos my son's classmate got 20 marks but still failed to entry MCS.  She is very very very disappointed!!

I also think that the Mandarin level of York is not enough (though I understand that it can 't be perfect as the English of York is pretty good). Not sure if we can reflect the need on improving Chinese/Mandarin to the Principal and ask her to increase the # of Mandarin class per week e.g.? Any idea from the rest of parents??

同意, 我地應該講比校長聽聽,

I feel that the chinese ability is no enough in York so I suggest that the parent of here need to request that point to principal.

I don't worry too much on their Putonghua ability as the formal training on it should be start from "拼音" which is commonly teach at primary level.

So.......who will be the representative?? Any volunteer????

Agree that their Chinese is not good enough.  

But I think the problem is with the teaching methods.  Personally, I don't think students need to learn so many difficult words without giving them good foundations.

I feel so sad to see my son writing with almost wrong strokes for every word ...

One more note, my son'ts private Putonghua tutor says that it seems my son has not learned Putonhua before.  So, what has he learnt in his Putonghua lesson??

               My son will graduate in next year and he has succeeded confirming his favorite primary school but he underwent tour of interview technique so I hope the parent's of York can focus the above situation for all kid's development.:-|

I suggest everyone, if you have chance to chat with the Principal Mrs Fung, let's raise the concern on the Mandarin and Chinese level of York and hope she can improve it. I think People is Power.

I concur this comment because some admission of interview will be held by many primary school which Principal requests candidates who need the higher level of English and Mandarin so some parents do not accept this opinion. I want they can ease to apply the school successfully.

Just would like to share more, though understood that some may not agree..
Due to my job relocation, my son and I lived in Beiing during 04-06 and so luckily my son's Mandarin is pretty good compared to HK normal kids.  However, I'm very regret that now his Mandarin deteriorate a lot after 1 yr staying in HK. I also have the feeling that in general the kids in York the Mandarin capability is a little bit:cry: (sorry if this irritate you)..
In China, normally the kids can read the "pin yin", i.e. bpmf, aeiou etc.. by P.1 so that they can read most of the words in the books (with pin yin) by themselves before P.3. I really regret that my Chinese is much much inferior than the Mainland colleagues (even though I got A in Chinese Sbj. in HKCEE).
I'm regret also that in HK, using Mandarin to teach Chinese is not common (due to lack of this kind of good teachers) and very frankly teaching Chinese using Cantonese is very inefficient as this is not what we speak and what we write.
So, my point is that I highly recommend the parents to have the kids to learn pin yin ASAP as the younger the kid learn, the better the language capability and we should try to find a school using Mandarin as the medium for teaching Chinese (though it's not easy to find). :idea:
