If my children cannot enter good P1 school due to he is inferior to others in (Language, Music, EQ, Politeness), then I have nothing to say and accept.
But if due to religion + Parent relations, (e.g., the problem disclosed in York Kindergarten), then I really think that HK Education system is dead. What's your view on it?
Date back old days, most schools were run by churches either Catholic and Christian denominations or missionaries. After so many years, they are well established and the outputs or throughputs from those schools are above the par, that's why so many parents want their kids to study in those schools. Don't confused cause & effect.
Nowaday, parents turn it other way round, religionous schools should not favour their believers, should open for more non-believers (Catholic and Christian have only 6% each in Hong Kong population).
Most believers have another view, like If I am a Christian, I won't opt for other religionous schools. But a non-believer is open for all options.
If other non-religionous schools are better than religionous schools, are you have the same comment?
Also Catholic and Christian have schools from Band 1 to Band 3, we are only talking Band 1 religionous school....... how about Band 2-3, will they send their kids to study there......
Today is already year 2010, It is nonsense that HK Education system still have religion discrimination. If still adopting this system, it will only refrain good quality candidates from entering good schools. Is this the core values in Hong Kong?
"York kindergarten" is just the tip of the iceberg. If there is still such silly policy from our great Government, people will only use all kinds of diry means to achieve the objectives. Those so called "Educators" will use dirty dirty methods to earn money.
Actually, I don't agree that 小朋友"能力" 是另一種不公平 to assess whether he/she can go into good school or not.
If you have this viewpoint, then I think the most fair game is lucky draw. All Government/Sub/DSS/Private school P1 seats dig out for lucky draw and see who is lucky or not (Mark 6 lottery). That becomes the most fair and God's decision.
