after reading the posts here, i really want to share my thoughts as well...
just like some moms, i plan for my girl from day 1 since schooling. lucky enough, she was admitted to one of the famous kinder even she was a very small girl (born in nearly end of Dec 05). she was doing well at school, and she also loves to learn. so i have also prepared a lot of activities for her after school. before joining the "P1 admission game", i am totally satisfied with our lives...
however, it is really a nightmare after the start of P1 admission process. my girl is really a shy girl who takes long time to warm up before interacting with others. so i'm always worry if she can express herself in full during the interviews. we even let her join some lessons (not P1 interview class) to train her up to express herself before strangers. however, our efforts are useless. The rejected letters from different primary schools (i received 4 already) hurt me much. i never have doubts on my girl's ability (no matter on languages or logistics, even some teachers asked me to bring her to test if she is a gifted child or not). however, i'm really surprised that none of the schools grants a 2nd round interview to her. being a mom, i'm really hurt as i've put so much effort to raise my child. finally, i did cry in front of my hubby and blame myself of giving insufficient time and effort to my girl.
btw, i'm so down that i didn't go to work in these 2 days. i dare not tell my daughter that no DSS or private schools accept her. i'm still waiting for another private school and 2 more interviews. but i do not have much hope in the coming interviews...
so far, my feeling towards the P1 admission is that
1) famous kinder is nice to have, but it's not a definite key to a famous/good primary school
2) even the child is bright in academic, the personality is also an important factor that affects the result
3) the age of the child may also be another factor which affect the chance of admission (so far, i learnt from my fds and the posts here that most of the small children did not have many offers.)
thank you for the moms here gives me some positive energy. although i cannot 100% resume my spirit at this moment, i will try my best to learn from u all to do more and better for my children during this difficult period.
i'm so happy that there are quite some moms here having 2 children at the age around 5 and 2. hope that we can continue to share the philosophy of taking care our little ones. |
