祟真課程深唔深?

nscwong

check out Tsung Tsin's website:

"An English-speaking section with elements of the best international curriculum, including International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement, IJSS is a school aligned with the local system. Providing students with maximum flexibility in their choices of future studies, this approach ensures the broadest outlook whilst maintaining the focus of local syllabi, particularly in Chinese Language and Mathematics."

I'm not a parent of TT student.  On the other hand, judging from the principle's presentation today, I would say TT's curriculum is too intensive, lots of rote learning, in particular, the international stream.  I was a bit overwhelmed by the Main Stream curriculum presentation already.   Even worse, the international stream students are expected to use 60% of their time in the school to study ALL Main Stream materials and the rest of the 40% is used to study international curriculum material and Japanese or French.  The principle already warned that unless your kid is physially very strong (to survive the extra long school hours) and very smart, your kid should not study international stream.

Although I very much appreciate the Christian element of their education, I don't think I'll send my son to study there (at least absolutely no no to international stream) even though he will be accepted.  I can imagine I'll have to either hire a personal tutor or quit my job (I'm usually home at around 8 pm) to help him finish homework and revise even after his long day in the school.  What a torture!  He's just a little boy!

我今早與國際部中文主任,英文主任和數學老師見面, 他們很詳細介紹, 又給我看課本. 我很滿意.
我的見解是, 英文很注重, 英文堂特別多和深. GS都深, 因要學IB+本地課程. 我覺得數學淺. P1的課程我女K3會學晒, 不過給她打好個底都係好的.

希望大家多上來報料

說實話,上次聽完校長在禮堂介紹課程我都驚,我要返工,平均7時回家,8點開始對功課(假設他生生性性做功課)和溫習,9時睡覺,一小時溫習,以他們的速度未必做到.
我很驚,真是收又死,唔收又死.

如果要你放工先做功課,9時睡教,間間小學都吾得,你可參加學校功課班,遲些回家,你回家再check功課,溫習,tt功課不算多,果 d讀書報告,多數在長假或比幾日你做,不是翌日交

Would parents of TT's students share with us the content of the 1st lesson of each subject?  I believe TT is a good school but the standard of its curricumlum troubles me a lot.

nscwong

To sum up, is it correct to say that there are not too many homeworks but the curriculum is difficult?

nscwong and log211,
Congu u. My kid is also accepted before. Now, I am still consider. TT is a good English foundation.
But, no secondary school back up. My friends say TT is good. But,I am still 1516. Just like u.

nscwong

You both too!  What other schools have accepted your child and in your mind?

我想:如果六年根基打好,到時靠實力都可以考其他EMI School,對不?

nscwong

You are right.  But I think even students stuy in EMI school do not always speak English well but children start studying in EMI school from primary can speak better English in general, do you think so?

對,我相信崇小刻意創設一個語言環境予學生,面試當天我早到,我問其中一位老師的問題,他用普通話回答我,好在我識聽,小朋友六年後應該可以掌握得到.
當然家庭要配合,孩子的成長,父母的付出才是關鍵,小小意見而已!

另想請問, 有冇人知祟真的主流個邊一星期有幾多日是外籍教師上課? 因以我所知有大約20個外籍教師 咁是否國際個邊, 主流個邊同幼稚園一齊分用呢?

我仔仔主流班小一, 一星期有2課是西人老師教reading & oral.

一星期1課亦是西人老師教ICT.

全校有二十幾位是西人老師, 分配於幼稚園和小學部任教.

hi cecichan,

恭喜你...我朋友仔仔有考崇真, 但waiting list未知收5收佢.

我有問仔仔, 佢話盡量會講英文和普通話, 如普通話唔識, 用少少廣東話.

佢好like上西人老師的課堂, 話好開心, 老師好鬼馬喎.

初時2個月, 我都有d擔心佢唔知應付得5得, 聽譚校長講, 語言是由小學是最好的, 亦最有效的. 我信校長....亦信崇真.

果然, 我仔仔的普通話和英文進步了不少.
還在上個月上台拿了"英普音標及閱讀計劃獎.
我地一家都好開心....
