是否性格去決定讀書方向?!

JojoB

請問 你地覺唔覺得

某些性格既小朋友比較適合IS 呢?
某些性格既小朋友 又適合本地果讀田鴨式教學法呢?


如 小朋友自主性強的
在IS 該不會像傳統學校般 duck feed / 每天功課,每週讀書測驗
好多時都係上堂教左 而個小朋友吸收幾多 同埋 會唔會主動地要溫習. (因無功課既約束)  
那樣 是否 比較 心野 或是 要俾人迫 果D 小朋友唔太適合在IS讀呢?!
請分享

For me, I think studying in IS make you have more time to play and talk to your kids, instead of only working & worrying on homework every night when you & your kids get back home. Thus it will give more space for their other development. Also family life will be much happier as pressure from the school is lesser.

唔係  只係有朋友曾經同我講
我囝比較心野
若果留向 IS  無乜管束下
無自制能下 不能在IS既環境下 自我學習
佢話 IS 係教幾多 要個小朋友收幾多
無功課 無測驗 個小朋友若果散起上來 唔肯溫書
就真係乜都追唔上
一下重會群左去壞果邊

但若果向LOCAL 咁起碼 每日有功課 每週有測驗
就算佢幾唔想讀 都迫到要讀 無得偷懶


講真 我係有D疑團
但當然想問下家下讀緊IS既你地家長
睇下係咪真係有咁既事...

好難講架喎, 我覺得小朋友有幾多真係會自動自覺呀, 好睇我地父母有冇督促佢, 還是真係由佢自由發揮

我都加把口先。

其實我都冇咩意見，因為我都冇咩經驗。我自己有兩個朋友，一個中學由本地名校轉去國際學校，另一個係由本地幼稚園轉去國際學校。兩個 cases 都係本身有點文靜內向的，轉了校就好開心加上有自信，都係好成功例子。

至於係本來比較活潑，或者係生番型不受控制果Ｄ（我果囡果隻），我就唔知會唔會唔同。

第一個 case 個媽媽係我前輩，就極力推介佢自己果種做法，一來可以有個好好中文同文化基礎（最少佢囡囡做 summer job 都可以寫到中文 PR brief，算好叻），二來會乖Ｄ，而且只要成績好國際學校都樂於收lee類插班生（當然，佢實話得，我諗真係要好好先得）。

不過好似上次咁講，外國Ｄ學生夠咩性格都有啦，人地咪又係咁讀。（當然，我都唔知，因為人地係冇得選擇，我地有得選擇，而一個選擇係比另一個貴幾百萬）。

我自己係本地教育產品，只知本地教育既好或不好，其他，就模住石頭過河，其實，要比阿囡讀 IS 都有Ｄ壓力架。我覺得比得子女讀 IS 既家長，其實都一樣緊張子女Ｄ成績，不過唔係靠學校成積表給自己無謂既壓力。

As far as I know, those successful cases in IS are those kids who read lots of books in spare time. IS has strategy and high priority to encourage kids to read books. Those in traditional schools are overpiled by homeworks with copying.

IS parents usually monitor their kids' progress, and encourage reading habit at home, by choosing interesting books and discussing the books with the kids, instead of drilling on dictation and test.

I think my daughter who is 4 now already has 500-800 books (I have not counted) and she is in ESF Kinder now. I don't know whether she will be successful or not, but kid in IS really like to read books, so can explain why foreigner like to read books so much, and why Amazon.com can be so successful.

囝囝今年9 YRS OLD, 坦言對IS不什了解, 想請教吓 :－
小朋友係咪要英文好至入到國際小學？？
如果小學係香港傳統小學，　到中學至同佢去轉ＩＳ，　係咪要考入去，　最終都是要看各科英文好好而可以。
如果小學唔係ＩＳ加上英文又不是好,　中學入ＩＳ，　是否很困難??

因為班主任說囝囝較活躍, 傳統教學可能不大適合他, 他要動一點的教學才可吸收, 但對於香港式的活動小學, 我又欠缺信心. 因幼稚園時是HK式活動教學, 他讀了3年, 是十分開心, 但沒讀書原動力, 亦沒學到什麼 (連中文都是), 只是每天玩遊戲, 但又不可在GAME中學到什麼?? 混吓混吓又3年, 所以到小學撰了一所BAND 1屋村小學. 在此小學下,
成績一般, 但英文十分差, 補習了有些少改善.  再加上剛在外報了外籍老師英文班(不是CAMBRIDGE, 而是與外籍人溝通) 等佢不要抗拒英文.

再者, 如果將小朋友放在IS, 是否可強迫到他懂多些英文??

本身我同C6都只是HK最典型的中學出來及F5.LEVEL. 英文程度有限.

其實我的思路頗混亂, 想搜集多上資料去選擇, 可否給予些COMMENT??

"成績一般, 但英文十分差, 補習了有些少改善"

It might be very difficult for you to get in a good IS as English is the medium of learning there.  Simply speaking, they don't teach English but Learn through English.

因為CONCEPT不明, 所有問多些:－

這樣, 我有些明白!!
是否先要從英文開始??? 因為是用英語溝通教授.  如果英文好了些, 是否才想IS或其他呢??? 係咪即係要學英文, 不是在IS, 而係去進修???

其實大家點解要讀IS??  是否活動& 輕鬆些教學?? 可否SHARE吓.

我又想請教各位:

Not all IS require very fluent English, but most of them do. So if you start in kinder it will be easier. The later you do it, the harder the requirment it will be in most IS, I mean in Kinder / Y1 they may only require oral test, but after Y2 or Y3 some may already require written test.

Of course when get into IS, the English will get better, but it also depends on what kind of environment you give to your kids after school. As told, don' solely rely on the school for Eng or any other education.

I like my kid to go IS as the education system is more open-minded and interactive. Most of the local educational system (I can't say all) are duck feeding kind of teaching method only, althought they are trying to change (but somehow you know EB change the teaching mindset too frequently) and hope the future of local education system may be better, but who knows, and I don't want to bet.

You should start to look at the application in coming Aug / Sept on RC website:

http://www.renaissance.edu.hk/content.php?contentid=98

Is your kids studying in Int'l kinder already? RC and other ESF primary school require not only "OK" Eng to admit, but very fluent English (orally) as this is the medium of their teaching for all classes. So I will suggest you try to put your kid in an Int'l kinder NOW if you have not done so yet, if you really want to get in RC.

See language requirement of all ESF Y1 (including RC)

http://www.esf.edu.hk/index.aspx?langno=1&nodeID=1049

Year One Requirement
Children seeking entry to Year One should:-
(Oral Interaction)

• be able to communicate verbally and non-verbally in routine social and classroom situations
• use acceptable social formulae (e.g. please, thank you, excuse me)
• use learnt formulae, well-rehearsed patterns and short simple utterances
• give some basic personal information on request
• show understanding of past, present and future tenses through use of time references
  (e.g. yesterday we..., tomorrow we...)
• follow simple instructions (relying on key words and context)
• extend answers to questions beyond single word responses (i.e. phrases and simple sentences)
• be able to use simple adjectives to describe or add emphasis
• use comprehensible pronunciation, stress and intonation when speaking
• be able to sustain concentration for a group story and be prepared to participate in answering questions and prediction activities
• communicate with other children in the group using English
• indicate when they don't understand and ask for repetition
• use questions to elicit help

You may want to try ESF WKS Kinder too for coming K2 (hope not too late), and move your kid to any Int'l kinder by now then move to WKS in K2.

http://www.esf.org.hk/esf_kindergarten/wukaisha.htm

Or any other ESF Kinder if they still have seat for K1 (but only 2 months left for K1)

Tks popolung.

1. RC website 好似話yea1 係3月12 完左? 咁下一次係咪8, 9月再有?

2. 小朋友而加只係一間活動教學讀K1.

3. language requirement - 佢應該冇問題!

再請教:

1. 如果今年同佢轉K2, 係咪去 Abacus 呢? (因我住鑽石山)

2. Year 1 係咪去RC好D呢? 因為如果坐校車都唔算太遠吧!

Go to add some more extra English class la, just to play safe 再請教: 1. 如果今年同佢轉K2, 係咪去 Abacus 呢? (因我住鑽石山) I think either Abacus or Tsing Yi is OK for Diamond Hill, but you should check how far the school buses of both kinders will go first, unless you drive. I know Abacus school bus doesn't go to even Choi Hung as per some BK parents here 2. Year 1 係咪去RC好D呢? 因為如果坐校車都唔算太遠吧! RC should has direct school bus to and from Diamond Hill, I guess takes 30-45 mins per trip.
