Secondary School Places Allocation Results

principal

Bluestar,

I am not surprised at all as many schools would like to know what parents think on various subjects.

And that’s why I am always so desperate to clarify my identity in order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstanding/speculation!!  

E.K./B.K. is a very good platform for TSL parents to gather together and share our views anonymously on different subjects about the school, our children and sometimes make jokes with each other to have fun as a way to relieve our stressful life.  

Over the past few years, I have noticed that the school has improved in various aspects following our recommendations here.  

I think we should make good use of such platform (as an informal channel) to continue sharing our information here while treat the current e-class as the official channel.

Instead of chatting less, I think we should feel free to express our views here as freedom of speech is one of HK’s core values that we should safeguard to the fullest extent.  

Just for controversial comments, we can make use of the PM system which, I believe, should not fall into the scope of the current surveillance system!!

e-Principal,



No insider info, sorry.

I just tried to "interpret" the publicly available data.

But I DO know that BK is under surveillance by the school.

e-Principal,

Well, 1 of the things which should be done better is transparency in the dishing out of conduct grades : what is counted / what is not.

I think (actually I know) of several cases in which parents were as to why / how their kids got what they did.

Bluestar,

Your voice is heard!!

Let’s see whether the school will allocate some weightings or marking schemes on the conduct grades (just like how the academic results are counted with different weightings) in the new academic year or not?

I understand that the conduct grades are particularly important for P5 and P6 pupils when they need to apply for good secondary schools.

Bad eating habbit /eat too slow = conduct B-  
Couldn't accept it

principal

TINGMUM,

Are you sure the conduct B- is due to "Bad eating habit /eat too slow"??

Or did your kids do something naughty at school that you were not aware of??

Did your kid do something naughty at school that you were not aware of??  

問過老師, 所有我心目中叫naughty的事他都沒有做,連上堂是否有周身郁的情況都說沒有. 反而GOOD POINTS 有3個.  我真的很不明白如何去RANKING 個 CONDUCT GRADE?

自己好了解自己的小朋友不是搞事的類型, 他讀幼稚園起conduct一直是 A,年年見家長都讚, 舊年學校老師的評語才說是"班中的典範", 今年突然變 B- . 真是很難接受!

這幾天我們也為操行之事困擾不安。

老師說小朋友「曳唔係曳」，卻數了很多她對六、七歲人仔應該要達致無瑕的細節......

何為操行？簡單來說最主要是人格和品行吧！

真不曉得是我要求高還是老師要求高。
個人認為B- 已屬於屢勸不改的半個搗蛋型問題學生，只差未有缺點記過......

今晨醒來，突然驚感﹕我們學校的作風不是比較寬容耐性、循循善誘的嗎？

TINGMUM,

In that case, it’s a bit strange.
If your child did not do any “naughty” things and with 3 good points, it should not be B-.

The one you saw on last Friday was only the draft of the academic report and the official one will be issued in September.
Not sure whether you can still lodge an appeal on this or not as the summer holiday has started??

On the other hand, it may be worth training your child to eat a bit faster from now on.

  個心好沉重, 己跌入谷底!

That's what I thought before, and what I experienced recently when I complained of another kid's behaviour.

But from what I heard (on and off over the past year) apparently it is not applied consistently.  There is an overriding human factor.

(Well, I know that the teachers are human, the parents are human, and the kids are human; but the variation is still toooooooo big to swallow.)

It is of particular concern to parents when the kids are in P4+, cos we really need the conduct grades during F1 allocation.

When the kids are smaller, P1 - 3, their behaviour is quite erratic and the teachers don't "know" them well enough.  By the time they are in P4+, well, I expect the teachers to "know" them better.

Some teachers still practise this but not all.  <-- I can only say this.
:(

天使麵,

還有其他為操行分困擾的小一家長,  我們只不過是其中的兩位.  希望學校可以清楚地講解計分的方式!

天使麵

TINGMUM,
可不可以用good points 抵消那個"B減"？

TINGMUM

天使麵 ,

在學校數年, 見過不少同學的conduct分,  屬於我們這類在老師心中有些不足之處的小朋友, 雖不一定有機會 A, 亦不可能是 B-. 學校一向表示歡迎家長意見,相信會給家長一個回覆.

我己收拾心情, 要小朋友準備下年度的進度.:loveliness:

其實我都未認真去認識個機制
要研究研究

應該係在7月一次性公佈
但可能有d學校偷步
來保證收到一d佢地想收的學生掛

我個advisor去左旅行
要等佢返來問一問

TINGMUM & Bluestar,

I am not aware of any “升中的自行result” announced by the school in the past few years.

So far, we can only see an overall allocation results announced on the school website in early-mid July on the same day when EDB announce the official results and there may be another 1-2 updates several days after when some “successful knock-door” results are known.

Heard from some parents that they may not know exactly whether the allocated seats are a result of “自行” or “lucky draw”?

I am also not familiar with the rules of the game yet and need to get some good advice from parents of senior grades as well.

e-Principal,

I don't mean TSL releases allocation results before the official announcement date.

I mean, some secondary schools / teachers of secondary schools MAY inform some parents re allocation results before the official announcement date.

And in some cases those parents who are teachers of secondary schools may have "insider" info .....

And some of my friends said, when we chatted, that some pr schools tend to exhibit some favouratism towards kids whose parents are teachers of certain secondary schools (for quite obvious reasons)......

Too bad I decided NOT to become a teacher.

Hi, I am a new member, an old boy parent.  From my understanding, when kids were attending the interviews, some of them already informed by the shcool that they were accepted.  The schools will give you hints normally.

Tks for the clarification.

Got it.

Really??

And some of my friends said, when we chatted, that some pr schools tend to exhibit some favouratism towards kids whose parents are teachers of certain secondary schools (for quite obvious reasons)......

Does it mean that the parents need to declare their occupation when our children fill in the application forms for some secondary schools and may be in a priviledged position if the parents are teachers??

Too bad I decided NOT to become a teacher.

It’s really a pity that you chose not to be an English teacher.
  

I believe less pupils need to go to tutorial centres if they are your pupils!!   

But on the other hand, the HK economy will become less booming because there is lesser demand/business for tutorial centres!!
