DGJS really consider parents' occupation?

munce

Hello,

Someone said Mrs Dai will consider the applicant's parents' occupation? Is that true?

She also prefers housewife?

For my case, my husband has resigned from his job for some time and is a full time dad now, taking care of my daughter's homework, revision, ECA, etc.

You think Mrs Dai will consider a Full time Dad than a full time housewife?

Appreciate your feedback!

我同事個女今年9月會入讀DG小一, 佢唔係全職housewife. 不過佢係公司律師, 至於佢老公係咩職業, 我就唔知啦

But just why DGJS like full-time mum or non full-time mum,

is it full-time mum = better coverage of children

or

not-full time mum = not better coverage of children.

I just wonder they just look at children's interview performance.

Also, is full-time dad not better? If so, is it sex discrimination...

人地嘅遊戲規則，妳唔鍾意嘅可以唔報，私校嗎?喜歡嘅只有跟隨。Full-time housewife 絕對有優勢，所以我知有D 媽咪做緊野都寫話自已係Full-time housewife，但要同小朋友夾口功，我就覺得唔好啦。聽聞Mrs. Dai唔鍾意舊年1st interview嘅方式今年可能還原以前嘅方式，即係1st interview每個小朋友都要經佢見一見。

So, is it the best if Dad is lawyer, doctor, professor or banker and Mum is full-time..

But how about Eason Chan's case?

For my case, I am a medical professional whereas my husband is a full time Dad (he enjoys taking care of the kids' homework, exams, extra curricular activities, and he also enjoys doing investment on his own). So how should I state in the application form?

You think Mrs Dai will "buy" our case?

I think at the end, it is the girls' performance that count, no matter which occupations Dad/Mom are at.  Occupation is just another reference of whether the parents can continue to financially support the girl in the years to come.

I am not sure if DGJS is open enough to accept full time Dad whereas it is quite acceptable in overseas.

Parent's professions are definitely a pt for consideration.... but provided that the girl's performance is acceptable to Mrs Dai!  
Heard that last year she prefers lawyers, doctors..

munce,

your husband is a "freelance investment specialist".     If you state so in the application form, be sure to train your girl to answer the same if she is ever asked about his father's occupation.   In any case, I don't think this topic will be touched in depth during the interview.  The performance of the girl  is the key factor, not parents' job.

有D真係好誇張，舊年我朋友in DGJS (2nd In) 時見有個Mami著住套上Court嘅大狀衫去In，唔知係唔夠時間換衫定特登著去。相對Eason同任達华就casul好多。

Yes did hear about getting back to square 1 this year as Mrs Dai didn't feel good about the quality of the students selected by her teachers in the 1st round.   

For famous celebrities, I think they really wanted to play down themselves as it would rather be an adverse effect if they showed off.

Do you think stating "freelance investment specialist" is really a joke or possible?

No la, I won't state Freelance Investment Specialist.

Just simply Freelancer (IT), as many years ago he helped people to build homepage/website. His last job was also related to IT. I taught my daughter to say "Daddy works at home via the computer when she goes to school in the afternoon".

Will that do?

yypapa

I guess "Self-employed (IT related)" would also be appropriate.

But if stating Freelancer (IT), do you really want to tell people he is part-time dad or full-time dad?
