冇錯，其實外國人只是both work hard and play hard吧！人地準時放工唔代表人地唔hard working嘅，相反日日 ...

Totally agree - coming late, long lunch, chatting with friends.  They cannot finish it within working hours and blame it heavy workload.

你睇錯了 我話Friday 4點未夠鐘放工就happy hour 呀
放左工話之你點happy都係你嘅lifestyle
返工時間你可以咁做都係lifestyle?

呢d未就係香港社會依然崇洋囉
大家做同樣野 但鬼佬就人工高過你
鬼叫你唔係鬼樣咩

請問你有冇係外國搵過工做？
吾做工令失業率高呢點都幾得意喎

未就係因為你只見到出得黎做嗰d外國人囉
出得國做野嗰批人就梗係有競爭力啦
你又唔知剩低嗰d可以几井底之蛙
語言只懂英文 國都未出過

有遠見嗰d宜家都要d仔女學外語同補習讀名校

正如你沒有提及大壓力下，不是個個香港人變成勤力好學，超強競爭力。

香港人有的好有競爭力，有的好 hea。
外國人有的好有競爭力，有的好 hea。

一般人會尊重牛的勤力，但無人崇拜一隻牛和想成為一隻牛。 work smarter, not harder.

Like some threads I have seen in this forum, they start off with a seemingly benign question as if the poster is genuinely asking for advice, but in fact already has an answer and in some cases even deep rooted convictions but would like to find confirmation and support, these threads usually end in pointless bickering.

Oh, such a poor country. Don't even think about sending your children there for education, let alone staying there "permanently". Interesting.

you're right somehow. I got my point of view and I'd like to seek for more 'advise' but questions since everyone got different prospective due to their own experience and background
just want to get more information, I'm eager to know more that I may miss out

你未免太斷章取義,一開始我無講過個個外國人好hea好無競爭力,我只係擔心阿仔好嘅學唔到,hea呀relax個d就學到足,同埋中文程度好有限.
係你係咁質問我係唔係話所有western people無競爭力,做到隻牛就係好...brbrbrbrbr
香港人有香港人嘅向上爬,勤力,flexible嘅特質 外國人有佢creative, critical thinking同work hard play hard 嘅特質
兩邊好嘅野加埋就最ideal 呢個就係我要為阿仔準備嘅路

凡事都應該多面睇 呢個亦係我開post嘅原因

我在外國住了19年(英國14年，美國5年)，有喺外國做嘢，我先生是外國人。呢度好多人有相同甚至更豐富的經驗，你呢種態度其實都幾是井底 ……

My child is at IS primary who is working hard every day reading and exploring the world, and not practising exam papers and regurgitating hard facts for exams. I don't think this will lead to a lazy/relaxed attitude on work.

I was talking to my girl yesterday about choice of subjects. She said she like History. I said isn't history boring, reciting dates an all that?  She said no, History is fun. Her History teachers do not require students to recite dates and events, instead students are asked to understand and expected to have their own opinions on the events. Could the history be rewritten if ..... kind of questions.

My husband and I were in (different) local elite schools in Hong Kong for primary and junior secondary education. We went to (different) high schools in a western country and we went to the same university (different programs).
Our experience is that, generally gwei jai and gwei mui have better reading, writing skills, better critical thinking and analytical skills. They might seem to be a little "slow" in high school or university freshman. However, they usually perform very good in university senior.
We felt that their strength were probably a result of the western style primary education. That was when children were allowed to read and explore. Then the junior secondary education was also not overloaded with homework. Thus they had lots of time to develop their different interests.
When we had our own kids, we decided not to put them in local education. Learning Chinese is never a huge issue to us, since the school we chose for our kids have Chinese classes. More, even if you are in local school, it does not mean you will definitely have good chinese skills. On the other hand, diligence is important for learning Chinese. It is because of the relatively light work load in international primary school that students actually have more time reading Chinese books. Pros or cons? Hard to say.
My children are now in Year 11 and university freshman respectively. They have reasonable chinese standard. The only weakness would be that they have learnt very little chinese literature, e.g. chinese poems, or old chinese literatures. Not sure whether this is a concern. If so, then please do not choose international schools.
BTW, it seems a little strange to be getting local P1 and ESF Y1 offers at the same time. I thought local P1 = ESF Y2?

If my kid or kids is/are able to go to college and to study history, my goodness... that's one of my dreams (not me to study it, but my kid/kids).

Besides, I think they tend to have better command of English and generally more presentable, and hence will do better in viva exam, writing thesis etc. in tertiary studies.
