我發覺通常用pushing 呢個字形容kv的家長, 佢地跟本都無小朋友係呢間學校讀過/緊的. 既然係咁, 佢地對呢間學校的真正了解有幾深 . 我唔係超級like kv, 不果唔明點解d人一聽到話小朋友讀kv, 就話佢地就註定係無愉快的童年, 更唔會開心地學習, 無活動只有做功課 .

Why do so many people insists that parents sending their kids to school like KV are pushing their kids?

What is 'PUSHING'?

I don't think we will EVER arrive to a consent.

Everyone has their own ...

Hi aknchan,

Thanks for your response.  You are right, if the child could sustain the "workload", that is not pushing.  And congratulations, you have made a choice which you think suits your kid most.  That's what I always mention,各取所需, right?
Please see below a message copied from hk.geocities.com...just want to share...

幼兒大都經歷相似的發展階段，但不盡是有相同的時間表或相同的發展表現程度，這在幼兒５、６歲前尤其普遍。故在K 1入學時就要決定何種教育課程和方法較適合幼兒，就算是平日對幼兒細心觀察的父母亦可能判斷失誤，比較適合的做法是多和幼兒的老師了解溝通，聽取老師在教育學習上的意見，才作決定。
事實上所有兒童的心智體能發展都會循著一個可預期的先後次序進行，只要時機成熟，並不須經他人從外向內強行灌輸知識，而是由幼兒與生俱來的性格潛力由內向外吸收發展，周遭環境包括父母、家庭和學校等雖也需要，但只具有支持和修正的功能，當然是有正化和負化的兩面作用，故此幼稚園只應有評估，不應有考試、測驗，評估是用來說明幼兒當其時的成熟程度，但亦不是一個絕對的標準，更不是用來判別幼兒的聰明愚笨，而是用來發現個別幼兒之間的發展差別，作為輔助幼兒發展的參考功具。
最理想當然是小班小校，因應個別幼兒的發展進度設計個別的課程，而幼兒在選擇學習的主題上亦能有充份的自主權，但香港因著歷史原因，以求最小的資源滿足最大的需要，故教育制度上遂出現所謂傳統教學，現在四五十歲的父母記否小學時班裡有五十位同學的景象呢？而憑籍公開考試或學業成績，進而建立名校之風至此不衰，而幼稚園教育亦淪為這現象之附庸，誠然有歷史的名校多是好學校，但好學校未必盡是名校，這有待家長們各按自己的理想、需要去發掘，對於自己孩子來說是好學校，可能在他人眼中不過爾爾，這倒沒甚麼大不了，始終孩子是自己的，而最了解孩子的應是你自己-孩子的父母
對多幼稚園課程來說，實在沒有一種課程絕對優於另一種課程，也沒有一種課程對所有幼兒是最佳的選擇，只有父母因應著幼兒、家庭和父母本身的價值觀、教育理念來作決定，就算有所閃失、錯誤，亦可在3 年幼稚園和初小時再作修正，不要存在失了先機，輸了在起跑線上的心態...

Hi aknchan,

Thanks for your response.  You are right, if the child could sustain the "workload", that is not pushing.  And congratulations, you have made a choice which you think suits your kid most. ...

From what you wrote, I do believe we share similar goals in parenting.

The thing I like about KV is NOT their difficult curriculum.
Infact, what I like is how they teach a kid to be independent, to have good work ethics and be responsible for their own assignments.

It always amuses me when parents boast about how their pre-school kids can memorize the 'mulitplication table'.
Yes, the kids remembers 3 X 4 = 12, 9 X 7 = 63 ...
But do they understands what multiplication means ? (when they can't even grasp the basic concept of add and subtract)

Kindergarten (and perhaps primary, ...) are where a student learns how to learn.

Emanuel

OK, glad that you are open to discussions.  Lets see another piece of information illustrating the difference between 傳統教學 & 活動教學.  I am not trying to argue with anyone.  Just want parents to have some more idea of how to choose the kg most suitable to their kids.  KV is undoubtedly a typical example of 傳統教學.  But for 活動教學, I believe that most HK kg are NOT fully 活動教學, even 培正KG claims that they are 活動教學, it is somehow a combination of them.


"傳統教學亦稱常規教學是指教師在課堂上根據課程編排，主要使用語言、文字和輔助教學器材，向專心聽講的學生傳輸知識，課堂上提問和討論的時間相對較少，而依賴學生課後的溫習和家課來熟練課本內容，是以教師講課為中心。我輩現在身為家長者，大多經此形式教育，對此應非常熟識。

它的好處在於能針對考試課程的大量內容，以最省時的方法直接講解給學生，一節課堂可以講解很多的內容，能免卻學生摸索、互相討論的時間，特別適用於只有半天課堂的學校。另外比較適用於應付公開考試，只要針對試題類型，加上大量的練習，特別對於有需要記憶和熟練技巧的試題尤為有效，故很多小學雖然在初小實行活動教學，但到了小四或以上，亦返回傳統教學。

活動教學比較近似美加的教育模式，是以兒童透過各種活動，從而學習，主要採用單元式綜合教學，上課時學生分組而坐，開始時由教師透過預先設計的教學活動，引起學習動機，並讓學生初步認識有關學習的主題內容，跟著教師把事前準備好與主題內容有關之資料分與各小組，學生透過遊戲、實驗和討論，將學習內容反復練習摸索，各小組可進行相同或不同的活動，當學生進行活動時，教師可隨時加入，或作輔導，或作評鑑，更可參與其中。若有提早完成指定工作的學生，可利用教師預早安排之另類活動進行自學。最後教師會將在各小組發現的問題和困難加以總結，隨後亦可給予家課。除了課堂學習外，戶外專題學習亦必不可小，使學生能將所學帶到現實生活中引證."

To be cont'd...

I've opened the mail box.... still haven't got the letter from Kentville

yu_baby

想問已讀kv的家長,係唔係如果收到accept letter封信會厚d,reject letter封信會薄d架,好緊張呀!

chingchingb.ma

舊年我封acceptance letter有三頁紙:
(1) Acceptance letter
(2) School bus route information
(3) School bus application form

唔算好厚。

我估reject letter只有一頁紙。

Carrie_Yip

我想問Kent Road同Dorset Crescent會唔會有咩分別o家?

rosactf9999

我都收到信, 不過佢話waiting list. 我有另一個朋友都係waiting list.

咁其實waiting list意思係咪代表唔收... 根本冇decline letter?
