Re: 請比意見: 如果目標是港島區私小/直資，讀Victoria還是靈糧堂好D, 咁Kentville和St. Ca
Racheltcy,
Yes, you exactly described what my boys are. I send them to a new concept DSS which runs with the philosophy very similar to that of LLC. This school is also described as low academic level and nothing to learn. An extreme comment from a net friend even stated that the academic attainment of the graduates from this primary school was just equivalent to the kindergarten level. Maybe that's the reason why the transitions from kindergarten to primary for my boys were quite smooth.
Yet, there is a huge gap between primary and kindergarten, my elder son also experienced a tough time at the beginning of P.1. He took about four months to jump over the gap. For my younger one, probably because he has a big brother as his role model and we got experience too. The transition was as easy as nothing changed.
You're right. My big boy's academic achievement was just so so in P.1. However, he started to catch up a lot in P.2. Now, he is in P.3 and running at the front. He is not only good at school, but also achieved very good results in an international assessment. Not intend to show off, just want to share my own experience to comfort you or those who are now at the junctions.
I can quote tons of successful cases from LLC graduates and also a few unsatisfactory cases. Nevertheless, I cannot generalize whether LLC is good or bad. Education is a combination of huge variables in which family backups play the most important part. We do find a common factor among all those successful cases. Both the father and mother, again I emphasize both, are very devoted to the development of their kids and they share the same education philosophy. Therefore, the story happen in my family will not necessarily happen in yours even we come across the same school, same teachers and the same methodology.
You talked about the risk. I do agree we need to take some risk when our beloved ones are studying in the new concept schools. However, I would like to ask: “Are you sure the schools from the mainstream are offering risk free education?” In my opinion, as long as the school is operated under an open system which allows transparency, interactions, feedback and lives in a forever learning and improving cycle, I would say the risk is manageable although I understand it is very ideal.
Finally, I would like to say again education like LLC, or other DSS with new concepts, activities mode, free and open education, students oriented, or whatever beautiful names, is not suitable for all. It requires a bundle of backups. Think twice before you make your final decision.
Good luck to you all in school search.
Tommy
