DBS vs 英華, 你哋會點揀?

For primary, I will choose YW.  For secondary, I will choose DBS.

It is too silly to waste your time on comparing two schools. Each school has it own strength and weakness. Parents should find out the best school for their own kids, not the others'. Can your kids be benefited from these arguments between different groups of fans of DBS and YW?

I just want to share the information below with you. I didn't say which school could outweigh the other.

My friend ever asked an applicant in a job interview,  "Why did you fail all subjects in HKCEE, except having a 'B' in English? A DBS student was not expected to have such result. The applicant replied, "There are several classes for each form.  There are 3 good classes and 2 naught classes'. Actually, we are not naughty but the academic standard is not good. I have been  assigned into the 'naught class' since S1. I liked music but I couldn't catch up with the progress of other subjects. Teachers didn't care about our class as long as you didn't interrupt the others.". My friend asked him why he didn't change the school. My parents liked the school name and I liked it too. The famous name might help me to get jobs. ".

Another friend said that his family was quite happy with DBSPD and DBSSD because his son's academic standard was quite high, especially the English standard. He further said that his son's IQ was found to be 140 at the age of 9 (primary 3).

DBSPD is an EMI school and YWPS is an CMI school.
I believe DBSPD can provide a more enriched language environment for kids to learn English.

YW's principal, Mrs. Lam, ever pointed out on the newspaper that YW was aimed to improve the standard of the whole form rather than for 1 or 2 classes or a small group of kids.

YWPS is quite new compared with DBSPD. Few years later, you may see the result, good or bad.

If I were you, I wouldn't tell my kid which school he should go unless he is granted the offer, or he may feel that he is going to substandard one and refuse to go as well. As parents, we have to find out the best place to suit our kids, not just the school name.

論學校, YW跟本未到DBS咁既級數!
論校長, YW林校長跟本未到DBS張焯祥校長咁既級數!

This comparison may not be very fair -

"論校長, YW林校長跟本未到DBS張焯祥校長咁既級數!"

YW林校長: we know that she is the primary school principal, but is she also the secondary school principal?

DPSPD - the person in charge should be Ms Lo (a former principal of TSL), not 張焯祥.  Her job title is Headteacher which should be equivalent to a primary school principal.  

Please correct if I am wrong.

Parents should compare on their own by gathering some information via different channels, including but not limited to the following:

perform a local visit to see how the students behave;
check the school's website and attend the briefing session (if any)
check out the school performance and the related secondary school's as well
check the booklist and try to compare the listed reference books
listen to the comments from parents whose kids are studying the desired schools.

The arguments made by the supporters (fans) of particular schools were already out of the discussion scope or comments. I put a full stop here.

咁唔compare下又點find out the best school for their own kids?

yes, i think one should also sit-in the classes on all levels for one year or so in each school for a better comparison.  

making such comments, i guess u are a ying wa parent?

其實我唔係好明你講o既例子係乜野意思，宜家係比較緊小學，但係你提到去搵工o既畢業生，無乜可能係DBSPD畢業喎~~~

你只係講DBS畢業生，但唔係DBSPD畢業生喎~~~

我只係糾正一啲錯誤資料，因為我見到有人留言話英華小學相對於拔萃男書院附屬小學係一間新學校，經查証後發現，英華小學成立時間係早過拔萃男書院附屬小學~~~

我無褒或貶兩間學校~~~

我唔係好明"英華今年轉直資"，同我講o既資料有乜野抵觸？你認為轉直資應該當"新學校"計？

我諗，大家認為直資跟直資比較會好d，始終當yw還是津校時，自由度冇咁大。

我諗果位mami想指出學校教育理念既問題。學校出咩學生同學校本身的理念都有關系。

其實比咩較遮？如果真係覺得咁一面倒既優勝劣敗，根本呢條問題就唔應該出現添啦，任何一個父母都會揀最好既比仔女啦。岩嗎？

LouiseM

非常同意，任何一個父母都會揀最好既比仔女。但有時我也覺得父母都不清楚學校本身的理念同教法，便一面到的選校。
但現在這一刻，我們還是期待結果的來臨，好與否，真的看看小朋友的本事了。 :(

你可以搜集英華小學既資料再談論兩校. 就知點解咁多家長話無得比.

英華fans覺得林校長加入和轉直資簡直令英華脫胎換骨.

不過好多長輩級BK會員和經驗家長都只當佢係深水埗區有名的學校. 要看多幾年佢地公開試成績再評論.

bobbbby

你話搜集完英華小學o既資料後，就知點解咁多家長話無得比，係因為YWPS好過DBSPD好多？定係DBSPD好過YWPS好多呢？
