讀了國際學校，唔知學了什麼？

nintendo

原來係 RC. RC 點會冇功課, 冇測驗? 樓主真係要主動 D 留意孩子的學習情形囉.
小朋友唔睇唔得架, 唔係話讀國際學校就可以放晒手乜都唔理. 讀左幾年, 都冇功課冇測驗, 你唔會覺得唔妥咩? 如果係我, 唔駛半年就要搵老師問清楚. 更唔會到今時今日, 先知個仔唔識串 APRIL.

Even though my daughter is no longer studying in RC, we still keep in touch with her friends.

You know what, those parents complained a bit that RC provides them too much homework/dictation on Chinese and some unexpected difficult reports/journals on other subjects.  The wonderful thing is their princesses enjoy so much to write and do the reports.

Undoubtedly, the standard of students in a school may vary a lot.  It really depends how family supports and guides the children.  

Like her friends, all in Year 3 now, they can write 4-5 pages of story easily.  Certainly it is consisted of grammer and spelling mistakes.  Roughly speaking, the progress is quite satisfactory.

I couldn't sleep well yestersday as I was thinking if it was right to switch my sons to another school.
I have called some local schools such as St. Margret and CKY this morning. The staff said that a ...

最近我看了一本关于教育儿童的书，当中提到我们作家长的要审慎看待智力测验，莫让这些测验耽误孩子的发展。它说几乎这些测验都是针对语言和逻辑能力而设计的，实际无法测出创造力、想象力、直觉力、人际关系力等等孩子的潜在能力。我想你最好多观察你孩子的能力吧。

我有一个外甥，他的智商跟你孩子差不多，可惜他有阅读障碍，总是串不了字，学术科一直强差人意，但音乐、画画和visaul arts就明显特出。

我猜你孩子不是有什么障碍的话，你可以试一试改教学方法和鼓励他多看书，不管什么书（当然是正经的书啦！），爱看就行了。

我女儿都是读国际学校的。头几年我的感觉跟你现在的一样，都不知她学会了什么。有一样我可以肯定的，就是她自动自觉地找书看，到了现在八年级，她写英文的速度很快。当然，家里的教育和鼓励不可少。另外，就是多与学校或其它家长沟通，才能了解我们孩子的需要。

如果你孩子在学校只说广东话，你可以鼓励他说：“妈妈要你读国际学校，想你多讲英文，所以如有同学跟你说广东话，不管怎么样，你还是用英文与他们谈话吧。”

yeung2212,

I have just read the website of RC.

Did you notice the annoucment about year 13 final exam, year 12 trial exam, year 7-11 myp exam in May?

Do you check your kids' learning diary daily as the teacher's request?

Do you read the bulletin of inquiry regularly?   I have just read the content.  In March and April, the topic is about "waste".   The content of bulletin is very comprehensive.  It states clearly how the parents can support their children's learning.

Have you talked to his class teacher, teacher assistant or Mr. Muller?

Have you tried to attend coffee morning?

I think resources/facilities/professionals all are here and see if you know how to fully utilize it.

I observe that my daughter's previous RC classmates prefer speaking English rather than cantonese when we were out for a short trip during Easter break.

I am a RC parent and am no fans of the school. As a relatively new school, it is not without its problems and things can be messy at times. However, it is exactly their curriculum that I like best. Kids do seem to acquire a good amount of knowledge even without textbooks or exams. And to one who was brought up in a traditional local school and good only at copying and memorizing like myself, their homework is not easy at all. It
requires students to research, understand, digest and rewrite using their own words.

And it is amazing how int'l schools help children develop this love of reading. There is really no need to worry too much about their English. As they continue to read and read, their English will gradually improve. I also notice in the campus that kids in upper forms do converse primarily in English, and fluently so. My younger child in year 1 came from a local kinder and at the start of the term, his teacher told us that he needed to catch up on his English. And now he is making very good progress in both speaking and reading.

In fact, what I am concerned about is not their academic level. No matter how much some parents want to deny it, discipline in the school is loose. It takes me no small effort telling my sons what proper behaviour is. A fellow parent has once told me that things will get better as the kids grow older. I do hope it is so.

Hahaha, I agree.  My girls also go to Montessori school.  Hard to know what they learn but they seem to know some practical life skills already (e.g. put on shoes and socks, etc).The school report is only so so and seems that my 2 girls have identical reports though I'm sure one is better in practical life than the other (I can't even button her own clothes yet!).  I think the teachers were confused my 2 girls' progress (and they don't even look alike)!  

Awah112, may I know what class your kids are in?  Will you let them continue?

We also like the Montessori philosophy very much. My daughter learn how to take care herself independently, eg. go to toilet by herself in early age and how to enjoy herself in a group of diversity peers. I think Montessori is teaching the kids on the way of learning, not much on what are really learn. When they can know the way of learning, they can acquire the skills and knowledge whenever they wants. So far, we are satisfied on her performance in the school.

awah112, may i know which montessori kinder does your kid attend?  Thanks.

係外國讀完 montessori pre-school 上小學應該問題不大。因為一般外國的小學都認受montessori。不過香港的montessori pre-school都是國際學校，讀完kindergarten就只有上國際小學了。

好正確　 .

我囡囡而家讀緊year one，其實喺平時同佢傾講，大約都知佢學緊乜嘢／學咗乜嘢，加埋學校每星期都有updates，做父母嘅要主動及多加留意，自然會清楚子女的學習情況／程度．

Do the real high achievers ever need to be micro-managed by their parents?
