請問幼稚園到底語言緊要 d 還是學術緊要 d?

jaycee_mami

我會揀語言好D那間, 因為幼稚園的中文和數學, 都係認下字和簡單計算, 深極都有個譜, 家長在家跟一跟好易;

但net教英文, 會有更標準的口音和表達時更有自信, 從小唔怕同鬼佬鬼婆講野, 這點家長好難在家教授.  

我自己的英文唔算差, 但而家同鬼佬講英文時, 總是周身唔聚財, 有得避就避, 所以好想自己的小朋友講英文時有信心D.

睇吓你想第時上咩小學, 適應上可能有d分別喎~
0-6歲係學語言嘅黃金時期, 良好嘅語言環境好緊要, 一世受用!

我都有類似嘅兩個offer, 好早已經決定放棄~ 邊樣緊要d? 我覺得兩樣都緊要!

非常同意, 尤其是同外國人談話不怯場就好好, 我自問一向英文都ok,考試成績不錯, 但初中project 要去訪問外國人, 就會有些心怯, 怕說錯怕dead air.  直到出來做事, 常和外國客人交易, 英文的應用多了, 流暢度才算提高.  我們一直學的是學術方面的英文, 看書, 聽新聞, 反而 一些生活常用的, 如一些菜名食物名, 真的要在生活中及和地道英語人士交談才會常用. 故此有語言環境好重要.

除了語言環境外, 另外一樣是文化的差異,  中國式的學習比較注重"別犯錯", 字寫的不好可能要抄9千幾次去改正, 保証學識.  外國式的比較強調"在錯誤中成長", 給小朋友去多試多學.  而且外國人傾向比較會讚人, 小小事都很鼓勵, 我自己比較buy,對小朋友的自信比較好. 但太鬆散又不合現實香港的環境, 所以如果學校能在學習方式上蒹顧2面 (又學到內容, 又學得開心) 就最理想啦.

For me, I think language is more important at Kindergarten coz not really a big difference in academic level at this young age. In addition, you can teach her more writing or things when you are home / or return work from home. Like most of the parent said, what I cannot teach is the NATIVE ACENT which her NET teaches her at school.

我都覺得語言比較重要d

Both are not important!

The most important is our kid like going to K!

Please wake up! there are 70, 80 or even 90 years for your kids to run!

Language should be learnt from their daily life!

Academic? let's your kid to explore this world la!

請大家比下意見, 正在困腦中1間有好的語言環境, 但學術上(中文同數學)略為淺
另1間學術上(中文同數學)好深, 但係語言環境不足 (沒有Native 教英文, pth 要到 K2 才有) ...

我都覺得語言重要d,但唔好選d幾年都無咩功課/壓力果d,選一些注重雙語,但學術都算ok果d喇,甘樣相得益彰

Like going to K or not does not conflict with emphasizing in either language or academic.
Without handling good language/communication skills, how could you explore YOUR world and experience YOUR daily life?

my daugther spends 3.5 hours in KG.  there is no NET in her school.   this kg does not have PHT teacher either.  however, they have many different activities everyday.  her social skill is quite good so she can easily make friends in playground.

she got no problem to play with non-chinese kids in playground.  she is not afraid to speak english/pth in front of people.  of course, either her english or pth is not perfect, so do i.

regarding to ACENT, i believe all of us agree that indian got very strong acent.  it makes no hurdle for indian to be CXO level in lots of big firms.

take it easy, find a school best fit your kid.

I agree Language is more important. However, I don't know how to make the decision.
One kg - internation section (PN is only in English & K1 to K3 is Eng & Put). All the English teacher is Indian & Afican.
Another one kg is very famous - from PN to K3 have Cantonese, Eng & Put).

How to choice?

Don't you talk to your kid everyday? Don't you play with them everyday? Kid's brain is a spongee, it absorbs what he/she is given!

There is no point of 'handling good language/communication skills, but the difference between kids are the level of development. Some kids develop better in communication and some in academics.

What parents need is paying attention to your kids' behaviour when your kids are going to explore this world. They don't like you to set-up an enviornment for them to learn, kids are not copy-cats of adult parents.

Stimulation is the most important thing for kids to receive!

So, Deschooling should be your best option, theoretically?

I prefer the second one.

我選語言！

K班就講學術，我覺得好唔正常。

同埋，我覺得小朋友獲取知識最好的最好途徑都係閱讀圖書。

Dear Elizatyy & Pertra

Thanks!

Would you share the comment about the following KGs as I really don't know how to make the decision.

Mei Foo Think / LH (Hampton Loft)

I prefer the second one as I guess it can provide better environment for your child to learn Chinese.  However, if you are planning to send your child to Intl school in the future, both of them are okay.  May I know the name of the schools?

elizatyy

you mean the primary school names?

no idea now!

I want my dauhter to be happy & interest in learning.

As I found the rude attitude of the staff in Mei Foo Think, I worry about the teachers' emotion will affect the kids.

So I really don't know how to decide.

Oh, you have mentioned it is Mei Foo Think / LH (Hampton Loft).

The Chinese and English standard in LHK is very good.  90% of the NET is 西方人。 If your child study in PE K1-K3 class, they have 1 NET + 1 native Mardarin teacher + 1 native Mardarin teaching assistant.  So, the LHK students generally can speak Mardarin quite well.
