J & A,

我想知多d PLKTAYS 係唔係無中文學, 同AM 同PM 有無分別? 因我囡囡教左PLKTAYS-PM 及根德兩間都收, 攪到唔知讀邊間好, 可唔可以比多D 資料我 ? THANKS

ernest's,

TSL = 陳守仁小學.

我個仔依家係PLKTAYSF 讀, 佢個班主任係葡籍老師, 佢果班都有好幾個印巴籍小朋友, 但係我又唔覺我個仔D英文有口音喎.

J&Amom,

二家姐個仔 : 大仔剛畢業SC, 在Kinder 時, 成績優秀, 現讀P1!!細仔出年會讀PLKTAYSF, 她話SC收個細仔, 都唔再考慮SC

Why your sister won't consider SC for her younger boy?  I've heard different comments towards SC too from my friends.  All have favourable comments except one who quit after one month.

I think ernest's concern is the accent that her child may pick up if English is taught by a non-native speaker.  If the children hadn't attended outside hours Phonics class, do you think they still speak good English in general?  Do they have an accent?

While I heard that PLKTAYSF is a good school, from their correspondence to parents applying for the school, the English is not well-written at all.  I've pointed this out in details in another thread in the chatroom.

ckwliu,
Agree with you that "There is NO "better" school, it's the question of suitability."  My friend has the same comment as you on Victoria although another friend praises Victoria (because her daughter had a happy time there).  So it's a matter of meeting the parents' needs.

ernest's,
If Mandarin and English are your priorities, find a school with bilingual stream (i.e. Mandarin & English).

If you've got a chance to talk with the parents of K3 students, you'll know the academic results of this kindy compared with other PLK kindergartens.

其實口音的問題，我認為只要家長覺得ok便可以。以前沒有NET時，學生的英語水平不比現在的差，不過現在很多小朋友從小接觸英語（例如由菲傭照顧），與上一代同年紀的小朋友比較，英語是勝一籌的。

可以的話，我希望自己的小朋友能說悅耳的英語，囗音可以跟她一輩子的，在家已經學了菲音英語了，真不想她學成菲、印、葡、港的混合音，對於我，這就像走了音的歌曲一樣。

我會認同你的講法
我個仔出年都會讀PLKTAYSF, AM
我首選依間學校的目的
最主要係真係聽過D用家的意見
佢地都認為
小朋友返學係好開心的

聽完你的講法
我都好希望
我的囝囝亦會一樣

J&Amom 寫道:
PLKTAYSF 無比個"名牌"感覺我, 純是一間普通Kinder, 佢比到信心我, 就係我d小朋友在此讀書會好開心, 好愉快, very enjoy, 同埋唔會有比人忽略o既感覺!! :wink:  :wink:  :wink:

J&A mom & all parents,

常聽你們說"口音"問題, 每個地方的人都帶著自己的地道口音, 人地話"澳洲人"d口音都好難聽, 美國人笑加拿大人d英文, 但係佢地全都係"白種人", 咁又有咩人介意喎!!?? 但係"indian / 有色人種" - no way??!!
我個人/自身教小朋友會不分人種, 最緊要有禮貌, 我個小朋友同佢d "Indian/印巴籍同學仔"相處愉快, 互相尊重! 我唔覺我小朋友會從佢地身上學到什麼不好的地方!

我想這裏的家長並沒有看不起印、巴、菲藉老師的意思，更沒有歧視印、巴藉的小朋友，他們當然可以是好老師好學生。只是每個家長的要求也不同，有些喜歡愉快學習，有些喜歡學好英文，有些希望藉
