mygoddish ,
I agree with you.

當然，每個家長也對子女充滿期望，又擔心他們的學業追不上，又怕考不到好的小學，又驚自己仔女沒有競爭力，將來難以適應香港教育制度。每個家長也為了孩子背負很大壓力。
我沒有壓力，但並不代表我不愛我的孩子和對他沒有期望。
我有一個最壞打算，如果他不愛讀書，我會讓他發展自己所長；
我相信，不讀名校，也可以有機會上大學。
我不需要他有一口流利英語，不竟他的母語不是英文，可以有自信地與外國人溝通，已合格了。
身為中國人，為什麼要羨慕新加坡人英文文化水評？又何解不反省香港人的中文語文水平？
我也同意傳統學校與愉快學習也同樣地可以學到人格基礎，但重點放在那一方面，一定會有比重。
但我深信，愉快學習能給孩子更廣闊的空間發展。
可能很多家長不同意我的看法，但我只希望能夠支持那些和我一樣看法的媽咪。我相信她們如我一樣，曾經也有很矛盾的時刻，但請不要放棄。

chichingmama,

香港靈糧堂 have 1 正校 in Causeway Bay and 3 分校 in Diamond Hill, Ma On Shan and Lam Tin.

There is a 九龍靈糧堂 in Kowloon City but is run by another orgainsation.  It has full-day class.

However, 香港靈糧堂 and 九龍靈糧堂 were originated from the same religious missionary organisation.

請問節目中所指個間靈糧堂是在那區?我係幼稚園網業中找到四間靈糧堂是同一機構, 但係嘉林邊道個靈糧堂是否一樣? 謝謝報料.

靈糧的教學很有創意，常常給我驚喜。他們利用孩子的five senses去啟發，例如有一回，我看見孩子在班房內輪流試味，去估水果。他們又會讓孩子踏在不同構造不同質料的板材上去感覺。昨晚在內聯網看到的更可愛---小朋友都扮了不同的動物，原來是學校到番禺長隆動物園大旅行後的跟進教學，以加深孩子對動物的認識。我原以為旅行就是旅行，原來還有後著，錢真是沒有白花!!

我想在靈活的教學方法下，孩子的腦袋也相對上靈活得多。

AnLi ,I agree with you.
I agree to the teaching method which Ling Liang is using.  Its give least presure to my kids and they can enjoy their studies happily.

這才是重點, 在這裡家長們延用節目的劃分法, 爭拗那些英文字到底算不算深, 意義???
也有說用黏土、紙條來拼湊那麼簡單的中文字, 無法接受!?
有沒想過靈糧多次在教與學上獲獎或得到讚許, 是否真的只是因為 "課程淺" "玩、玩、玩"... 那麼簡單?!
做為靈糧的家長, 我可以理解這間幼稚園在教與學方面獲獎的原因, 靈糧的課程設計絕對考慮了霍華德教授一番話的內容.
學習方式不是用 "傳統教學" 或 "活動教學" 來壁壘分明劃分的, 重要的是課程設計的目的和層面, 究竟在這新世代, 我們要打造怎麼樣的下一代

AnLi and other LLC parents,
Really disappointed about the TV programme after viewing it !!!

Like what AnLi said, it's 有 "視" 沒 "透", especially the part introducing a LLC (Lam Tin ? I guess) girl's school day and the narration like "she went to school and the first thing to do is playing, and then .... and then playing again"
(why they don't state it clearly, the playing time actually is a well-designed teaching method, let senior schoolmates to lead and play with lower class kids so as to have a two-way stimulation )         

The narration has in fact caused many confusion and misunderstanding to non LLC parents !!!  And being a LLC parent, I really feel UNCOMFORTABLE about the program.  

So I would like to suggest to the school NEVER accept this kind of interview or shooting invitation in the future.  LLC is a serious kindergarten and we do what we think correct.  That's enough !! Why we and our kids should become a discussion topic and our kids be labelled as coming from a school with 'nothing to learn' ??!!

youngyoungmama,
I also just had the chance to view the program last night.  Before I heard it from my husband and I immediately had a debate with him that night.  My husband does not know about kids education & LLC as much as me do.  He apparently was influenced by the TV Program.  I didn't know the portrait of LLC had been so misleading until last night.  
I support your suggestion.  I guess it is really risk taking to accept TV interviews.  But press interviews giving you a chance to review what they have written are fine.

youngyoungmama:
"新聞透視" 節目以靈糧做為愉快學習型幼稚園的代表, 但在介紹學習方法及學習生活時, 一點也反映不出這間以愉快學習著名的幼稚園在教與學上究竟有何特點? 為何靈糧不用催谷, 小朋友也一樣可學到知識和其他的東西? 的確令人失望.
節目的內容對於非靈糧家長而言, 也確實容易誤導家長以為靈糧的一天就是玩、玩、玩... 什麼每天上學先玩一個小時???!!! 完全抹殺了靈糧在課程設計上的用心和認真
如果真要探討, 更應追蹤一下那些從小被父母及學校谷谷谷之後的小朋友及從這些愉快學習型幼稚園畢業後小朋友, 小學、中學之路是否存在差別... 既然要探討, 就探討得深入點, 看看現今香港的父母及教育到底出了什麼問題

我覺得嗰幾個字，吾係深同淺嘅問題，係難發音或太多音。再講，找來幾十個程度低既人做reference，簡直低能，喂，個幾十人吾識吾代D字深gar wor，再比幾個淺D既字，佢地都可能吾識gar la...你睇嗰個讀到錯哂嘅男生，吾識解，都識併下個音ah，caterpillar吾算難併la瓜，錯到離晒譜，大學生wor，佢可能淨係識cat, dog, duck gar jer wor！佢咁都可以做reference？好同意有個mami 話，佢試下問陸恭慧、鄧連如，睇下人地識吾識丫，掉轉頭講，如果識嗰D都話："下？乜幼稚園學呢幾個字gar la！冇必要ah！我記得我都好大個至學gar wor！呢D字，培養到小朋友肯睇課外書的話，會成日見架(except Igloo)，無須咁早教D咁難發音既字丫....."咁至成立下麻。

liang leung又強調左人地每日"玩"足一個鐘，係人聽到都打個凸！總之今次出鏡訪問嘅校長就"捉蟲"la，最大得益者可能係liang leung 格離嗰間XXX！

tt2001

stccmc，
我下面補左句：我覺得嗰幾個字，吾係深同淺嘅問題，係難發音或太多音。

我聽到"玩"足一個鐘，我都有打個凸架，後來我再諗，以活動教學黎計，liang leung應該算最正宗，最有水平，但個句"玩一個鐘"都仲係我心入面，直至頭先有mami講左當中意義，我就release左la。

係extreme，不過我覺得當中話自已係活動教學的部份學校，就只係安排活動law，吾係玩一個鐘，而係玩3個鐘，活動當中如何引發創意呀，思考呀其實欠奉，我覺得buy呢套既家長，讀就揾間正宗D，吾係只會讀到吾湯吾水。

ha，我都諗住同我仔玩下個D寫字遊戲呀。

tt2001:
關於靈糧的自由活動時間, 我也補充說明一下---
節目中採訪的是馬鞍山靈糧, 我不知道馬鞍山靈糧的自由活動時間是否為一個小時. 以鑽石山為例, 自由活動時間是指 8:30~9:00 (上午班), 小朋友如非搭乘校車, 意謂著父母可在 8:30 就把小朋友送到學校, 這段時間, 小朋友們不分高低幼班, 可自由於學校各角落探索或進行小朋友們間的社交活動, 所以, 每當我去學校, 往往也對非任教老師或非同班同學, 他們之間也彼此熟識而感動.
學校一直都推行閱讀計畫, 自由活動時間更是小朋友們 "請聽我讀" 的最佳時間.

chuchumui

AnLi講得對，節目是有點誤導。
以我女兒在香港靈糧堂為例，上午9時才上課，但校車就於8時5-10分已把她送抵學校。回校後首先是在班房內與同班同學玩，約8時20分，他們就可以自由在學校內做她喜歡做的事，學校各種學習區甚至二樓教務處都可以去。我女兒多數在花園玩，而她的男同學死黨就喜到電腦室去。這約一個小時的"玩" (我個人認為這可叫做自由探索時間或exploration time)都是在上課時間以外的。
相信所有靈糧堂分校安排都大同小異。

我都認同stccmc，(除了igloo外)其他幾個英文字都不深。Caterpillar(又解摌泥車)甚至於過去10年成為很流行的便服牌子，這個字隨處可見。

Different teaching method suit diffeent kind of kids.
However, if you don't agree to the teaching method, don't let your kid go to taht school even it is a very very famous one.  

Just let you kid go to the school which suit him/her most and you must agree with the teaching method which the school is using.

My brother's girl like doing homeworks, so she goes to 明我.
My girl like play to learn and is very active, so she goes to Ling Liang.
Both of them are OK and enjoy their school-life very much.  They all developed well.

100% agree with you!  Just that sometimes it is not that easy to choose as the kid is too small...

mummyamy

Dear mygoddish, really agreed with u.  
Although my son not studied in the same school as your child, he will go to CWB branch on 2005....They are still a schoolmate as under the same principle.

After read the programme and share the expreience with my colleague, I definately will send my son to there.  The branch which showed on the programme is in Ma on Shan.  My colleague already send his 2 children to study in there.  He also very happy with the school , most important his children learn a lot from the school.  Exceptlly no problem about the ability on their knowledge wor.....

頌謙媽咪

贊成大部份家長意見,孩子入邊類型學校要視乎其性格，我囝囝屬於坐唔定、無耐性果隻，但又為人怕羞、唔夠主動，我都係想俾佢讀活動教學的學校，希望幫佢改變

I have just reviewed the program. Actually, all parent want their kids to learn English so as to improve their spoken/written English.  But one thing, have you, parent spoken English with them??  It is not only a practice just in the school but also at home and everywhere, no matter you go shopping with your kids or eating out.

Whose 5 words are not that difficult. you know some people in Hong Kong don't even know "spectacle or prawn", even my idiol teacher in F.1 These 2 words are very simple and common since I learned it in the kindergarten in Brunei.  

Spectacle = glasses
prawn= shrimp

P.S. I started studying in Hong Kong from primary 3.

The above is just my comments.

My husband downloaded that program from a website.

I will check and let you know.
