My friend's son transferred from isf to another IS when he is in grade 4. The reason is exactly what other said here, Chinese is not that good and English is behind.

Kids certainly will have more abundant knowledge if they can perceive the world in both languages. Never mind they are behind in one or two year in English.

You are funny - you obviously know nothing about ISF or their students and the friends that you claim to have from ISF who transferred out of ISF are your imaginary friends?

You have a strange sense of humor. I recognize that people have different standards of what constitutes "near-native Mandarin" or "English of a very high standard", so naturally views can vary.  I'm happy to let people come to their own conclusions.

Both you and Mikimoto12 are non-ISF parents and all these "my friend's son/daughter" are stories that you heard from your "friends" (or friend's friend?) but I am an ISF parent. Everyone is entitled to have their own thoughts and views but please at least have the courtesy to make responsible comments based on facts and not just make unfounded nasty remarks just because you don't know or care about ISF. As I said, there are issues with ISF's management and some of their policies but as far as I can see, their students are pretty much on track.

Yes, pls do share with us how do you benchmark ISF students' language ability? Have you even been to ISF and spoke to any of their students?

Hahahaha!! Bingo! Capital1984 and mikimoto12 are one and the same person who has an issue with ISF and is signing in under different account names. Why are you so determined to make derogatory remarks about the school?

You must be new to EK.
This is always the case.
There are lots of people that have different accounts and they LOVE to make false comments of certain schools.
Too bad this is ISF's turn this time.

I know but ISF seems to be prone to attack in EK.  I am just perplexed as to why some non-ISF parents who think ISF is not good enough for them or their children and would never send their kids there would bother wasting time and energy to read up all these ISF posts and make hostile remarks about the school?  Don't they have anything better to do?

Some Parents are so obsessed with perfect native English. Acquiring two strong languages has much more advantages than only being native in one language (apply to English here).
Sir Charles Kao 高錕didn’t need native English to win a Nobel Price. He was certainly very behind in English as we he was grown up in China and moved to HK when he was sixteen.

Hahaha, it is always a couple of non-parents posting under new handle, I actually think it is great for entertainment value. But then, who relies on an anonymous forum for advice from non-parents? If people want to get good information, the FB group would be much better

如果全部都係假話，咁真係太無意思，何必呢！

Of course there is some truth to the issues, but also a biased and uninformed view!
