I have no defense. Just told what I have experienced.

Can defer for the interview? When will they call you back again for the next interview? In fact I have applied too and I have the same concern as you. But back in my mind I think we probably won't get the offer so we can apply at a later stage again if I wish.

Nope, I just have confidence in her capabilities.  Why not try?

Changing is not a problem to her, s ...

Then just try. But I think your profile is even more suitable for DGJS(aggressive and confident mom with a smart and same character girl). If you go for GSIS kinder that will probably lower your chance to DGJS.

Other than capabilities, will you consider Chinese is a concern? I defer as I think Chinese is a con ...

Not only that, GSIS like many other IS have no homework or exams in the entire primary years. Is that going to satisfy the academic needs of the parent and the child, considering the child comes from a traditional school?  Just to test the capability limit of the child?  How can she test the child's limit when there isn't even homework or exams?

To me it sounds like a disaster brewing.

They sent me an email to ask me to choose for an assessment now or defer to a later year. I choose to defer to Year 1.

may be she just wants to Test her limit to see if she can get an offer from GSIS? The cost of studying in GSIS is a few times of studying in local school. The route to the university is very different too. I myself had made up my mind that I can't afford ( both financially and pysically)  to take care of my gal's Chinese to a very sound level.

Thanks for your advice. Sure, she is a DG type, both in physiologoical and psychological term. Even  ...

Just my feeling that you will be happier in local top schools than in IS top school. IS even for top school, the kinder and primary years are quite "hea" and you may not get the satisfaction as you wish. I have friends whose very smart kids studied in IS and (the parents) think the curriculum is too simple and not challenging enough and want to switch back to local school. To study in IS one need to have the right mentality but not the capability.

Xxxxxx

That is why I was saying it sounds like a disaster with expectation mismatch.

What is capability at the age of K1?  Academic? Ability to make friends? Creativity?  How do schools measure these?  How do we know the child is at his/her limit?  What if the school don't even have homework and exams?

mentality？capability？ any route, any way, she will be there.

Mentality refers to the Parents mentality and expectation in schooling. You want to send your child to GSIS because you want to test her limit. How do you intend to test her limit when there isn't even homework and exams. How do you assess her limit when there is no ranking?  How do you know how much your child has learn when there is no weekly report or month report on achievements?

If you want to test her limit, why don't you fill the child every waking minutes with "some" types of classes and learning and see how well he/she perform in each? Or teach her materials that are 3 to 6 years ahead of her grade.  I am sure going to GSIS does not satisfy you with your focus on "limits".

forget the limit.

Once you think of testing the limit, you put your child into the pool of limited.

Please think bigger. Your child is limitless.

You probably have a gifted child. You know many parents with gifted child chose to do home school.  So they can teach A level stuff at 10 years old and none of the normal school "distractions" like a social life or friendship, or sports, etc. which are frankly a waste of time for gifted kids.

入唔到覺得好難，入到的覺得好易。五歳人仔，不在狀態，考唔到不是孩子的錯。學校的高水平學生多，而不是全部高水平。希望家長能清楚自己的定位。

兩年前街坊的女兒入到year one, 路上遇上，恭喜之餘，順道提醒要注意生活平衡，(聽聞女女日日補習，中英數外，加兩科外語），點知轉頭嬲到爆，話我妒忌佢個女入到GSIS。認真攞命，我女女十六歳，佢女兒得五歳，相差十一年，點解會妒忌呢？抓頭!

老實講，GSIS少左這些眼高于頂（亦可意會成眼高手低）的家長，學校和學生一定更上層樓！

點試都好，就是不要讓孩子知道。
