我個仔是3月出世。很乖，班內成績也很好。但他沒有second-in。心疼！
反而，班內一些很活躍的小孩卻有。

你們情況如何？

The interview format is all about talking talking. So being well-behaved is not good enough. Well-behaved is the basic. Expressive kids have all the advantage.  

I just think why can't the school accomodate different types of students and look into inner attributes of the kids? Are expressive and talkative kids necessarily better?

Same here. One of my son's classmate is impolite and naughty can get into second interview! The teachers and other parents put too high expectation on my son.  I feel a little bit frustrated.  What we can do is don't think too much!!! Or knock the door if you really love that school!

so what? 咁又點?呢個只係你個人諗法, 乖唔乖, 叻唔叻, 唔係你覺得係就係, 無人覺得自己既小朋友不如人, 個個都覺得自己細路係最好.

你覺得人地d 小朋友太活躍, 咁人地都可以認為你個小朋友太文靜...

平常心啦.

Don't you think the present environment in Hong Kong favours 講就天下無敵 people?

Seriously, more expressive kids let interviewers assess their performance more easily than quiet kids.  If you need a child to use 20 minutes to show his attributes, the child must utilise the 20 minutes well by keeping talking.  Sorry, no time for warm-up for the quieter kids.

舉手之勞姐!

有時有d家長未睇以前d文章就開新o既，都會幾難跟架。所以我o係其中一遍文章建議過版主，將"小一選校"分拆，首先將各小學o既文章好似"小學一覽"咁分開，再加d收生程序，叩門技巧之類o既類別，咁樣要搵同自己有關o既文章就會容易好多。不過要改動，可能好大工程，話晒有成萬幾篇文章要重新(人手)分類，仲要改動版面，值唔值得就見仁見智。

間間學校都有自己的收生標準, 佢地looking for 邊類型的小朋友只有佢地知, 沒有2nd int 不等於小朋友不叻. 有2nd int. 亦不等於佢比你小朋友叻.

無疑在這場遊戲中, 大胆, 肯說話的小朋友比較著數, 但我想運氣更加重要, 小朋友當時遇到的老師好唔好, 都會對佢的狀態有影響, 所以都係平常心罷.

This is sad that the environment in HK becomes like this - even the educators can only look at few, if not one, attributes. If they are experienced educators who have hearts at nurturing kids, they should be able to select kids who are good not only at talking.

How can one judge a 5-year-old kid's potential based on whether he/she can recite a story?

On the one hand, people say critical thinking is important, on the other hand, kids are judged based on their short memory.

yes, it is sad, but unfortunately it is a fact.  Your choices are, either playing according to the rules of the game (i.e. the whole P1 admission process), or leave the system and find your own way, e.g. international schools or studying abroad.

Anyway, this school is behind my back now.  希望你可以早日收拾心情，再上征途吧!

Agreed. It's just similar to our job interview. If you can't expressed your idea to other/interviewer, no one know how smart you are.

I think presentation skill is important to children and adult.

其實都唔一定係架...我個仔話當時排佢之前的三個小朋友都唔肯答老師問題, 我個仔主動話比佢答先, 老師都有比佢答...不過都入唔到2 nd in, 所以真係冇路捉呀.

雖然我個仔有得見第二次，就算我個仔冇得見第二次，但我都好同意你所講<個個都覺得自己細路係最好>

Many of my boy's classmates went to first interview and only 1 got into 2nd interview so far!

This boy who got into 2nd interview is quite well-behaved, not too talkative but quite polite, born in Sept.

The other boys who didn't get the 2nd interview were: 1 was quite active and talkative, 1 was active and talktative, born in Aug and the other one was quiet, born in Feb!

學校有收生自主權,你唔知道佢到底要哪一類的學生,同樣的,你都有選校的權利,講真,如果你有spcc讀,或dbs讀,你應該都唔會揀boys!!
所以大家覺得學校唔會知大家既想法咩??冇可能既!!
so,站在學校哩一方來講,應該都會揀真正會想讀我間學校既學生..我先揀佢..

面試只不過是小朋友第一個人生既考驗,如果有最好,如果冇,都唔代表什麼....希望大家唔好因仔冇2in就否定小朋友.
我覺得這一代的小朋友好慘呀

我的小朋友入唔到第二輪面試,但我沒有自責,也沒有覺得小朋友唔叻.

個人覺得真係學校揀學生,而考到的學生又會揀學校.未能入選A校,去B校亦不壞.平常心,或許我早已打算若考不到便讓他入讀官/津校吧.

我比小朋友去考私校/直資,就如其踏入某一年齡,會有些什麼東西要試吓一樣.只要他已樂意去試,不論結果如何,他仍保持自信就很足夠了.

appleng

很同意你的說法..我個仔好ENJOY 去interview 呀. 見完最後一間仲問我, 係唔係冇得去interview 啦？好想再去咁樣.

加上佢interview的表現都同佢平時好相近 (除咗有一次佢唔記得咗老豆叫咩名！！！) 而家個人仲有禮貌咗, 可能都係interview 的好處...緊張的就只有家長吧！

I don't think you need to be upset. Your son will  surely get a place in a school in the urban area where the background is middle-class families.

The success of your son directly depends on the resources you grant him. i.e. time, effective skills and knowledge. For the latter two, I believe you can provide them to him because your financial background is good.

Nowadays many schools in the urban areas have a very good standard of English too. But if you think your son has not an identity in a renowned school which is a disgrace, this is another thing.
