如果你要選一間行國際課程IB，而又中英並重，VSA 是其中一個選擇

我兒較內向, 好可以坐定定接受填鴨式教育...  我希望佢都會適合IB啦.  最怕揀錯條路, 讀得吃力.  冇得回頭, 累了他.

My girl is with mild hyperactive and mildly gifted, CP said she needs a structured environment but cannot be in a very traditional way (I wonder if hk has such kind of school).  She 對自己冇要求，but care a lot about what teacher said.  IB requires 主動學習, I am afraid that she will求其.  However due to her hyperactive problem , traditional schools seems "die hard".  It is really a big headache

你形容個女的用詞，和我朋友講她個仔一樣，至少小學階段吾適合IB，她仔讀了一年ISF，就轉番傳統。

除維小，你有無覺得邊間口岩她？校網有無心儀？


其實6月大抽獎，抽完又一連串叩門，仲有好多變數。搵一間學術好、活動教學，吾系太逼死人的學校，可能更適合她。

去咗英華，幾年前無咁難入的，so far都讀得ok。


除咗貴d之外，維小應該好過音小，聽d家長講維小而家幾重視培養gifted的小朋友，數學分stream分得好仔細，叻的吾會比hea的拖慢，可惜行IB可能吾係好啱佢。

My girl is not very brilliant and CP described her as having 小聰明 but learning attitude not good.  She is good in English and leadership skills, but not those with brilliant Maths type.  She is very talkative and sociable, teacher at school said she follows rules very well at school and learns things fast.  I am worried that local schools would not be able to accept her.  All the good schools in my area (net 16) are very pushy and harsh. I am sure she will be very happy going to VSA but just that it may not be suitable for her.

All clever animals including humans like to play a lot, especially when they are young. When they find their passion and "purposes" in life, they will switch their energy to these things, and play less. It is about million times easier for kids to discover themselves and find passion and purposes in IS than in traditional schools.

I think you analyses the situation correctly.   Is she going to "Hea" in IB?  Probably. Is she going to improve and be influenced by classmates?  Probably. Is she going to get better as she grow older? I think so. Which of the two situations is the lesser evil?  Your girl "Hea" in IB school and is very happy, but you don't know if she is going to improve. Or your girl suffer in a traditional school and be seen as trouble maker?

Honestly your girl has a better chance of learning better "knowledge" in traditional schools. All kids do. But at what cost? Is knowledge the only thing we care in education?

Nothing in life is certain. You just take your best shot. Some people use definitive tone in giving you comments about whether your girl is suitable for traditional school or IB.  I am not sure if you should take it at face value.

You may listen to comments but not literally, including mine. As parents I would advise you to go with your gut. Nobody knows your child better than you do. Other similar cases might be or might not be applicable to you. Nobody is to put up with whatever consequences your decisions are.

Trust yourself and trust your child.

仔仔幾年前的情況跟你女女相似，維幼的老師說：不要走太傳統的路。結果幫他轉了去國際學校，行IB課程，適合到不得了。
他好喜歡閲讀、超like數學，最重要給他空間發展。
IB/國際學校是否hea, 視乎家長和學生的態度，IB課程如教小朋友游海，教練要落水游，要有清晰目標和方法；傳統課程如游泳池，25米50米有板有眼、容易量度。
維小勝在IB之餘中文不弱，最近在朗誦節見到一些維小學生，英文發音好動聽。
