What's your opinion if the school will teach English Math? Frankly, it's my wish cause I think it's better to hook up with its secondary system.
Heard from news that the govt is evaluating the "Mother-tongue" educational system upon the 10-yr implementation. They tend to give more freedom to schools to pick teaching material.
I wish St Mary's could go back to all-English syllabus as years b4.
I'm hoping they can use Eng Math throughout primary years (like b4 when I studied there). I don't know how to help my daughter with Chinese Math (P1-3 should be ok but after that is very difficult, I heard). She'll start this Sept.
Got your point. But Maryknoll can do it I just don't understand why St Mary's can't. It's so unfair overall in HK so less English primary schools (free) left to choose. I think the market is big.
In fact, I think more than half of the students get tutor class outside anyway. Don't u agree parents pick this school is because of the "quality" of education provided?!
Do you know why SMCS changed from English primary school to Chinese primary school a few years ago? I also agree that they should have more readers. It seems that there is no enough exercises/drills for them particularly in English. Please share.

Marians raised a good point as the school needs to
balance the english standard of students with different
background. They have already taught English based on 1 level higher curriculum. What they can do more is to
encourage students to read more, and parents also need
to support this initiative through training up the reading
habits for their kids. We just can't rely on the school
alone, I have been reading with my daughter everyday
for the past 4 years and it helps a lot in terms of
senctence construction and vocab.
Welcome your kid to be a St. Marian
In my opinion, there is no difference for a six-year-old girl to learn Maths either in Eng or Chinese. She is beginning what the adventure of study in a new academy. She is going to be smart in everything if she studies hard to read and explore. Thanks for your attention .

Dear current and up-coming moms of St Mary's,
What's your opinion if the school will teach English Math? Frankly, it's my wish cause I think it's better to hook up with its secondary system.
I also got a friend whose daughter is Pr 3 in Maryknoll. My friend commented that the Eng Math is more straight forward than outside Chinese Math supp exercises.
As I said before, parents like this school because:
1) high standard secondary school back up 一條龍
2) 有實力得黎, 又保持低調

Exactly! To be consistent with "one-dragon" to secondary, all kids will face all-English syllabus anyway so why not start from 6-yr-old. They can pick up foreign language at early age easily. That's how my generation was brought up. We didn't even have much outside school support (plus most parents at that time were not as educated as now) but we all survived. It really made us more capable in latter years.
