Any comments about ISF?

type409

As an ISF parent, would like to share what I see:
1. It has been, so happened, only one student (out of 18) coming from mainland in my kid's class. Mainlanders will leave ISF as soon as they find out their kids cannot communicate in English.
2. From the above, you will know why some will escape, though they should have known the time allocation of English lessons in early years is as low as 30%.
3. About half of the students have at least 3 days/week private tuition. But no one will discuss it  as it is very very common. One of the reason I heard is to occupy the kid's time so that he won't play iPad, watch TV etc.
4. Talking about all those super rich/celebrity parents, they are very very nice. If I have to say, arrogance is those expats.
5. Heard from an ISF teacher that the early batches of ISF students are most gifted…that's why these children need to change school. And that's why most of the teachers who work in ISF for longer time know how to deal with gifted kids. (My kid is one, that's why I know. But their help is more on emotional or social skill development, not on academic. I don't see any differentiation.)

I am not a fan of ISF. I put my younger one in another IS. Reason is very simple - every kid is unique.

I share your view that many rich parents are very nice and many expats are arrogant. Many mainlanders in IS are educated and speak good English and nice. We should not have stereotypes. Just like we don't want to be looked down upon in western countries.

Oh really, you don't have much interest in this topic?  Let's see WKDRB was banned at 2:10pm and you started on this thread at 2:34pm.  I am sure it is pure coincidence!  You are just as emotionally unstable as he is

Speaking of behaviour problems, that rings a bell. I now know what's all the fuss about. Some person has such a problem. Guess who?

You people seem to have known this  WKDRB  or kidslover2010 a very very long time, an old friend of yours. Can anyone ring a bell who he or she is? He or she is such an entertaining person.
