有家长喜欢孩子的英语超超班, 中文写少少就得勒.
有家长喜欢孩子的中文有文学修养, 英文能沟通便好
有家长中英两边要极好,是真的学贯中西

没有必要的方程式!!!

This is very true, there is no one formula that works for all. What suits one child may not suit another, and whether a formula works depend largely on where the child will most probably be spending most of his/her life. Obviously if he/she is going to be living in the greater China area, 中文写少少 is going to make it difficult to fit into the mainstream of society.

However, there are only 24 hours in a day, so a gain in one area is always accompanied by a loss in some other area, spend more time on one subject then another is going to suffer. Be greedy and spend more time on all subjects to become 学贯 in everything? Then there'll be too little time left for resting and both physical and mental health are going to suffer.

Your comments are fair and valid which can critically point out the nonsense and  ridiculous "answer ...

Haha that's why I stopped responding.
As a matter of fact I never said a school has to be "perfect". I just said it has to be well prepared before accepting a student who is a human being not an experiment, not to mention the sky high fee it is charging. "Perfect" and "well prepared" 之間存在很大空間呢!

"Stop being naive..."
針對事不是針對人 I agree with that particular comment made by "kidslover" no matter who he/she is or what he/she had said before, especially this is Internet forum where I don't know you and you don't know me. Why does one have to go back and check/bet what an unknown person had said in the past?

What I don't understand is why is ISF always so controversial? Some non-ISF parents would suddenly become very aggressive and start making nasty and even defamatory statements about the school and other parents who try to say some nice things about the school.
We are here to share our views. We don't necessarily have to see eye to eye with each other but please act like adults and make comments that are based on facts rather than speculations.

I take back my comment about you being naive.  For someone who doesn't, or refuses to, understand the context of the discussion and the history of schools in HK, that actually makes you ignorant.

有時見到D針對某些學校如弘立，真係笑爆，有D資料不是錯就係過時，好似上文話好多家長逃亡、首先係有D但唔係好多，更重要這是N年前啦，而家2OI4，唔通仲話廣東道水靜河飛咩！

仲有呢D人，正如大部份EK家長，好聽D喺中產，難聽D喺IS家長中喺窮鬼（包括我），正如我在其他thread講過，弘立的層和一般平民IS或IB學校不同（但不一定更好）、弘立target學生唔喺我或你地，而喺資優生或有錢人，佢地角度唔同，你地D所謂問題通通多余，你話怕英文唔好，佢地惊中文差，你地話要FTM過份，佢地根本喺，or咪請幾個oxbrridge畢業生補習咯，你地怕轉唔到學，佢地點會抇心呢D事，反正最終都喺返老豆公司或有老豆安排，對呢D人，佢圈子D子女都喺個幾間學校，唔通去平民丨S咩。

所以呢D批評多余，等於你話用十皮坐頭等去歐洲痴線，你叫點回應你？

當然，如你孩子不是資優你又只喺一般中產，呢間學校唔啱你，都唔啱我，亦唔啱一D謮緊嘅家長。

you don't need to be "sorry" , because by the way when did i say most isf students are gifted???

kidslover2010,

Again, i don't think i have "enlightened" you as i did say isf has many rich parents but i never said they are arrogant. But granted, there are probably more arrogant Ek parents here indeed.

I am really amazed, again, at how creative you are in reading other people's post.

Which info ...

Oh i see, all the fusses ..... this same old story, like most heated debates in EK IS forums before, it all boils down to 2 things:

1. there are relatively more mainlanders in this school, and
2. this school does not regard english as the only language on earth you should learn

For all negatives (some made up creatively), you really don't need that much details or analysis, just say these 2 facts, that explains it all.

And as i said, i never said this school is good (or bad), only that it is "suitable" for certain families, not all. These parents just as different considerations from you (or others):

1. some treasure native english at all cost but some consider chinese as at least equally important.
2. some hated homeworks, but some think these are good to train up hard working kids.
3. some believe a school should be students of varying ability, but  some like to school to push their kids to excellence
4. some believe a school to be a leisure environment, but some don't mind a FTM to take care of kids in outside school hours, and indeed many are very enthusiastic in volunteer work, they just love it.
5. some is very mindful that the students could easily switch school, while some never think this is a problem

etc etc....to name a few.

i am not going to rule this as wrong, simply because of different parenting method. likewise, i choose IS route, but i do treasue the good things in LS route, just that on balance this is my choice.

And, please, don't always blame the mainlanders.

Geez, I wonder why you have taken such a keen interest in this topic right after WKDRB is banned.  Is there a groundhog day for morons too?
