I am surprised you feel there are problems for students transiting from MYP to DP. So you meant it is a big issue at your child's school? That would be terrible. Have parents raised this issue to the school?
I have never heard people complaining about that at my kids' school. Well, there may be students that do not feel comfortable with DP, but mostly for other reasons and not that the school did not provide them with the foundation they need.
My kid's school have a good arrangement for students to transit from PYP to MYP to DP.
I have 2 children and both of them have have very smooth transition from MYP to DP. The most challenging time for students would be from PYP to MYP. In PYP students stay in the same classroom and have the same class teacher. In MYP, they need to move from one classroom to another and have teachers for different subjects. And since each teacher has different personality, this is probably quite a challenging thing for those young people.Other than this small bump, I am generally happy with the curriculum at the school.

She shouldn't have said IGCSE+IBD比MYP+IBD是更好的學習制度  without giving any data or evidence. It's a critical statement and totally unfair to students who take MYP.

Ha ha.
You know what. I do not really care whether it "unfair".
Who needs the endorsements of some strangers with a web name on the internet?
What I care is, whether my kids genuinely has benefited from MYP, whether they can transit well to DP, and whether universities recognised my kids abilities.
I have 2 kids. One is already in university. My younger one is in DP has got his predicted grades sent to universities.
I have said so in the past already: some people are more suitable to be in IB, some people are more suitable in other curriculum.
It just happens that both my kids are both suitable to be in IB.
I would not hesitate to switch them out of this IB school if I have found that IB was not suitable for them.
In any case, my younger will soon graduate from DP and I should graduate from EK too.

我講得唔清楚，我一個孩子現在DP第二年，順利過渡，我講MYP上DP的情況是課程設計上與GCSE比較，那方面会有不足

We pay high school fees hoping the children can speak native English and explore different cultures. ...

Wow.. Has it ever occured to you that the "native speakers" have native english speaker parents at home and their first language is not Chinese??

I see. Have you raised your concerns?

IB through train school is supposed to be one umbrella from PYP to MYP to DP. MYP teachers know very well what they have to cover to prepare students for DP. MYP does not really have that rigid a curriculum. So MYP schools can tailor make their curriculum to include components that they believe fit the school.

There are no huge differences for different western primary curriculum. So I think you do not have to worry about it yet.

有人說如果想成績好，讀英基都要出外補習，是否事實呢?因為學費都已經要八千幾，加上補習費一定過萬。

想補永遠有得補，我知許多local有補中數，有D英文也補（grammar, writing)

英基之下有多間中、小學、和幼稚園，英基是否提供統一課程，每一間學校都會按其統一課程上課呢?就好像 McDonald 特許經營一樣，每一間分店都會提供一式一樣的餐飲給顧客。

讀英基轄下的學校，其中一樣最大的得益是學好英語會話，即是聽講能力。

那麼，學生的中文程度是否會很差呢?我認識一位朋友的兒子，在不是英基的國際學校就讀高小，他連一篇50字的中文作文也寫不出來。

中文能力我也考慮過。。。（仔仔ESF waitlist機會渺茫中）

不過我覺得，最少中文屋企人個個都可以教，英文我們香港人Local family根本教不好。

如果不用應付公開試 （也就不用擔心成績），基本中文看、寫自己應該可以吧

我太太是新移民，其實說來我個仔普通話算1st language，我覺得入左國際學校，想keep住中文，應該去學好國語。國語識講自然識寫，唔怕寫一大堆廣東話出來呀。

PYP，MYP，IB課程，是否好像McDonald 特許經營一樣，每一間的餐飲(課程內容、書目、教授內容)，都是一式一樣的呢?

大綱一樣，但最重要是老師要接受IB training, 完成後老師在課堂上的教學表達、經驗、素材均有不同發揮。

There is a framework or curriculum. But I do not think there will be schools that are 一式一樣.
Different schools will be covering the same content, but each schools can have their own approach.
Textbooks of course can be different because there are different publishers.
Topics covered can be different depending on what the school chooses. For example, my son's school has spent quite some time on the history of Hong Kong (Opium Wars, Battle of Hong Kong, etc). IB school in other countries would probably be not covering this. However, students will be learning the same set of "skills", it is just that they use a different historical event.
Another example would be literature. One school might use Romeo and Juliet, and another school might use King Lear, but students will learn about Shakespeare's "tragedy".
