Yes, the award presentation was cancelled due to H1N1 flu. My daughter also got an award. Her class teacher told me she should get the award on the stage if the class is not suspended.

I didn't tell ...

如果係音樂節既獎,淨係叫佢係summer concert度彈返果首歌,無獎頒的,我阿女呢張相咪佢拎左個第二名上台彈琴時影囉.....

其實summer concert 取消左，上台彈琴者會失望，弦樂團仲慘，你地練琴都係為比賽，佢地練琴係為左個音樂會，練左既野都白費左,不過梗係安全至上啦要，解釋左囡囡都無唔開心(我女係樂團的）

本來事件已告一段落, 不希望再作回應, 但有一些理念及概念上有所不苟認同, 因此有一點發表, 如有開罪到之處, 敬請原諒!

本人明白現時坊間有著過百, 什至數百的機構, 舉辦不同大小的比賽活動, 如每位學生都拿獎項回校, 令學校校長, 老師都不知那是重要比賽, 那是一般比賽, 以至學校感到吃不消.

在此說句實話, 如果學校所有學生, 又或是大多數學生, 在她們校外課餘時間, 憑著自己的努力得到成果, 她們把這份光榮和喜悅都帶回學校. 那麼, 學校是否應該更加感到高興? 如果有一所學校大部份的學生, 有著這積極性, 我想這所學校的校長, 老師們, 什至家長也應該為這所學校感到無比自豪! 那還有吃不消的感覺?! 學校的教學目的, 不就是要令所有學生努力學習, 在智體群美的範疇裹, 有著美滿而正確的人生方向嗎?!

其實, 鼓勵方法有很多種, 並非每次也請校長來頒獎影相, 那是不切實際, 而且用太多時間, 那可不在午飯時間, 在學校的廣播中宣佈, 又或時在學校的網頁上公佈, 那不也是學校對學生的認同的方法? 其實這不是要學校給予學生什麼好處, 只是學校對學生在努力過後, 得到一點鼓勵作用吧. 我們作為家長, 經常教導子女, 一分耕耘, 一分收穫的道理, 要得到別人的肯定與認同, 那便不可以得過且過, 應當努力學習, 我想每位家長都希望自己的子女, 經過她們認真努力後的成果, 都得到別人的認同吧. 特別是學校, 因為 子女在學習成長階段, 學校定必是他們影響最深遠的地方.

本人所表達的, 只是希望學校能給予每一位學生, 多一點鼓勵吧, 以上如有得罪之處, 請原諒!

That's the point. Your 理念不同. Do you know that MPS' student report does not have places, or even marks shown? All are grades only. No one know who's the first one, or first 10.

Even prizes inside school is limited. Every year, there is only one prize for each subject in each class.

You can comment that the encouragement is not strong enough. But that's what you said 理念不同.

From the other side, it won't introduce keen competition on marks and less pressure on study.

I understand you want your daughter's performance being recognized.  Indeed she should be.  But firstly, how do you know that the school has not recorded the award she received?

On the other hand, have you ever thought of the feelings of other girls who do not have opportunities (Marymount is not a private school/DSS and I don't believe all the girls come from rich family) to learn much outside school.  If the principal overly emphasize activities awards not organized by school, it might create some false impression/complex feeling to other girls that they should learn something extra after school and go for all kinds of competition... I think for good school like Marymount, it is not her education goal to create this kind of "pressure".  Indeed, I think you should feel worried if the principal/school does too much to broadcast  "awards".

I also agree with some parents that the award your daughter is with her porfolio.  It won't go away. It is always there when she apply for secondary schools. So don't feel sad.

家長與學校教育理念錯配,正所謂求學不是求分數......

好認同Abbie_mimi既觀點. 依家實在太多奸商用不同形式既比賽去欺騙家長既金錢. 而且金,銀,銅獎都各有多人得到. 其實這根本是買獎. 有些學生很容易便取得獎項, 形成他們以為少少付出, 便可得到回報. 根本不懂得努力及珍惜.這對小朋友既成長并沒有好處

難道學校要助紂為虐, 幫這些人騙取更多家長既金錢? 我都希望其他學校向瑪利曼學習, 不要助長這些奸商

唔好咁唔開心啦 ! 我女兒經學校參加了公開英文試比賽 , 取得 medal , 全校只得佢一個有, 不過學校連一句恭喜都冇 , 更何況會表揚呢 ? 其實你知道你女兒 ok o米得囉 !

樓主如果太在意的話，反而為小朋友帶來不必要的壓力，或令小朋友仇视學校。

Just take it easy la.

Netbrowser, 妳女兒很可愛呀!
很久已便有上來, 不經不覺已快隔一年了, 好多謝各位的指點. 其實我們沒有對學校仇視, 有很多老師對小女也很好, 亦有給她鼓勵, 當初只希望學校用多一點不同途徑給學校的小朋友加以鼓勵吧, 其實瑪利曼是一間不錯的學校. 再次謝謝各位!

I don't think the school has done anything wrong. Any school would do the same because the student is not representing the school when entering the competition.

You simply want those awards to be reconized by school and that is your plain motive you let your gal to participate.

小女兒剛收到老師通知, 現在所有對外的公開比賽, 除非是得到學校老師推薦, 否則一概不會獲得學校記錄及認可, 更不會獲得在早會上的頒獎鼓勵......

我真是不明白, 為什麼有學生經過努力, 參加一些課外活動, 什至得到 ...

其實，大家的女兒就讀這學校應該是會明白，一般老師是较"優待"一些家境富裕學生或成績特別標青學生。她们被挑選的機會可能性高，甚至是老師有女兒就讀者，可能有機會被挑選參加些公開比賽而不用費心爭取，成績操行，不予置評，反正"我媽是老師"....你不用向校方令導人反映意見，她忙於校內外社交活動。你是Dr.X, Dr.Y嗎?，你是上述兩種類家庭類別吗?。 還是別過於抱滿懷希望，努力讀書吧。
