Craystal111,

Can u tell me why u make such decision?

Crystal111

We prefer SFA to TSL.  I have registered for my son there.  SFA, while it is tough, gives a better prospect for a good secondary school.  Also, my son has a high self-discipline and loves doing homework.  I guess he can cope with the demanding curriculum at SFA.

My impression is that SFA has a relatively higher English standard.  During the interview process at TSL, the teacher making an announcement said "the children IS ..."  "Children" is plural and we should use ARE.  I am really shocked by the mistake made by a TEACHER.  There were a few other occasions during the interview process on which I heard some English mistakes.

The above is my personal opinion.  Please ignore it if you do not agree.  I do not mean to offend anyone here.

True...SFA is well-known for its rigorous curriculum.  Any child who can survive there will be very competent academically.
I also noticed some english mistakes by teachers in TSL and other schools when we went to  interviews.  However, it may be unavoidable in most local schools (primary, secondary, or tertiary) which are taught by local teachers.  In fact, I have attended lectures given by professors with terrible english at one of the local brand-name universities.  
Anyway, we feel that the overall language (english and pth) and learning environment at TSL meets our expectations, and the school fee is affordable and is inexpensive for what the school offers.  We hope that our son can speak english and pth with confidence, like the students we met on their Open Day.  For us, it is easy to train him textbook knowledge, but he really needs to build up his self-confidence and courage.  We were very pleased that he survived the two TSL interviews and that he was also accepted by a good private school.  We did not apply for SFA though.  Anyway, different parents are going to view different criteria differently, and they will be coming up with different decisions.  I am sure many parents of the children who are on the TSL waiting list would love to fill in the withdrawn places ASAP!

will give up too...... although it's a hard decision for me.... I like this school, happy learning environment, less homework pressure (this especially important for a working mum like me) but need to compromise with my hubby.

My daughter is on the waiting list, we and my daughter like TSL very much.  Though we felt a bit disappointed with the result, we are so proud of her that she went through the two interviews on her own and happily.  
I am so grateful that parents make quick decision to release the places to the waitlist candidates, hope my daughter can get a place.

我想問聲各位, 雖然"陳守仁"話唔駛交 "個人檔案".

大家有冇交到呢?

In view of the number of kids applying DSS/private primary schools 3 years later, when my younger kid applying P1 too.  I aslo give up the offer of TSL.  It is very sad to come up with this decision.  
I have to selected the traditional government aided school in order to secure a place for the younger one.

Hope you guys have a wonderful time at TSL.

P.S. Many KGs had over 3,000 applicants this year.  The competition for P1 admission would be too much.  Perhaps TSL will have over 3,000 applicants at that time.
