小一已經學除數及分數嗎?真的不敢想像

SaSaMummy

My girl in spc p4.
All information provided by newbkmember are 100% true.  She's enjoying the school life and we don't have any after school tutor at all.

Both are good schools.  I think the ranking of SPCC is higer.

My friend's kid is studying in SPCC. He had not started 除數 in P.2. 除數 concept 就有講.

除數及分數概念及簡單運算小一下學期已有教, 但只限於10以內. 故不能應付.

小一下學期已教乘法, 除法, 分數. 但只限於10以內. 學生不準背乘法表, 老師著重理解概念和原理, 要運算的不多.

咁細個教除數, 跟本害左小朋友, 因有d數係不能被整除, 又未有小數點既慨念, 小朋友遇到除唔盡既數, 老師會話大個你就明? 佢地會好混亂.
係咁既話止係背答案, 唔係教識佢運用...

這就是我說的:他們只是在低班教concept而已。

Hi liuiris,

Before the comments become too subjective, let's try to get your problem solved since you will have to make the decision soon.

I don't have any children in neither schools, but my niece is a SPCS student and my close friend's son is in SPCCPS.  So just hope to get your issue resolve with information that I know.

Before we start, your topic is if anyone will give up SPCCPS for SPCS, the answer is yes as had heard such cases before but must admit the fact that these are minority.  This doesn't imply which schools are necessary better, however.

So, based on way you wrote the topic, I assume you would want to let your daughter stays in SPCS.  This is what we should start the discussion.  As a result, you are looking for reasons to give up SPCCPS and stay in SPCS.

I wouldn't wanna get into too much sensitive details while comparing the two.  So the best way is to stay on the surface and simply compare some straight facts.

(1) Whether you aim to have two children study in same school?  If so, financial stability is quite important due to the fact that SPCCPS has much higher tuition costs.  It is not a question whether that is worth or not, but at current stage, we are talking about 2-3 times higher for just one kid.

(2) The two primary have different language policy.  Proficiency in written Chinese is essential in SPCCPS while it is not as much an issue in SPCS.  It has been a culture in SPCS that Chinese has much lower priority compare to English, within their own environment (not comparing to other schools).  So, you need to ask yourself (or your kid) what they are more suitable in, or what as parents you would prefer......

(3) I guess location is another issue.  Undoubtedly, SPCS is so conveniently located in Causeway Bay.  Will that be a concern for SPCCPS?

This is just a few obvious points which may be enough for someone to make a decision.  The most difficult thing is the parents would have pressure to give up SPCCPS, isn't it?  I believe you will need some mental support from the family to achieve that.  Try to discuss this within your family, particularly your daughters.

Sorry that I wouldn't wanna touch on any sensitive topics in public discussions.  Everyone would have their own interpretation and this is simply an invite to arguments often time.  If require, you may PM me for further discussions.  (Other parents please don't post messages like "Pls PM me too" since everyone have different interests so there are no points to share.  Thanks for your understanding)

Good luck!

Ian

學生不準背乘法表而教乘數,玩吓簡單慨念無不可,咁細個無乘數基礎再教除數,就可能是玩大咗.

有d離題,家陣補習的目的巳經被扭曲,成績差的學生固然要補,成績好的學生更加要補.所以做補習發過做老師,這是香港教育的悲歌.

Nevertheless, just a friendly reminder.  Please make up your mind soon since I am quite sure many parents will love to pick the seat you eventually released.  You may help many fellow spk parents too (not sure if there are still some spk girls waiting to get SPCS offer this year).

I echo your point, each family has its own preference.   樓主ask "有無人会放棄co-edu, 選convent???"
The answer for me is 'yes',  just simply the finanical issue.  Talking about 12 years school fees, and I have more than one child.  And in fact, I don't think co-ed is 'double' better than SPC.  Sorry that I am doing 'comparison'....

兩個小朋友的負擔確是很重.

若經濟環境許可(不太勉强的話)，揀Co-ed，give up Convent 啦!客觀現實是大部份家長心底裡排名都會係Co-ed 高D，相信您都係，否則唔駛煩啦！作為父母當然希望將最好嘅俾自己子女，咁辛苦先等到呢個機會，點解唔試就放棄呢？試過唔得再諗plan B，好過將來成日諗番自己有冇為子女爭取"最好的?"而煩惱啦！
況且你囡囡Co-ed 又得Convent 又得，應該都好叻啦!所以"揀Co-ed 又駛乜驚!"

如果是學費問題. 那確實沒辦法. 雖說有學費減費, 但很多家因為怕麻煩, 或碍於面子, 不願意申請. 作為家長, 我也認為Co-ed學費偏貴, 作為直資學校, 已有政府資助. 合理學費應定在每月4000元水平, 與DGS//DBS看齊. 據聞校方計劃把盈餘津貼多些學生活動. 已收到通告, 下一個學生增設了不少免費樂器班及興趣班.

補充一點，我識得朋友也是中產一族，佢哋响五月尾收到call，之後好開心咁已經註冊咗，仲放返另外好學校嘅位出嚟，依家心情輕鬆晒，希望您都可以盡快作出決定，然後輕鬆放暑假啦!

又唔係窩! 現在不是拿SPCCPS 與一家band 3 的學校去比較。最好嘅是否最適合又是另一會事。一般的排位DGS均在SPCCPS之前，是否DGS和SPCCPS都收便一定選DGS？

其實我不是很明白樓主為什麼要考SPCCPS？考之前都知道SPC會收自己個女。既然決定考SPCCPS，E家又黎煩。而且樓主在post #1 所寫的所有理由都只是說明他/她應該選SPC！

St Paul Convent小學考試只考三科中英數，GS只有測驗同評估，所有科目都唔會排名次，派卷老師都唔會當全班鬧低分那些學生，但成績有進步會鼓勵。沒有每年淘汰一批人，我女讀咁多年每年只有小數同學退學，因移民,
留學及到小四,
因St Paul 不參加中學派位,
有家長會轉小朋友到其他津校,
有學生會轉國際學校,
因其國藉.
留班是因考試不合格,
有時家長會選擇籬開.
有困難,
唔識可以問老師,
老師會用小息時教學生,
老師會幫特別差成績學生補習。放學後可將小朋友留在學校做功課,
會有老師看管及教小朋友做功課。

雖然無家教會,
但有問題可打電話去學校,
校長放學時每天都會在操埸,
你有問題可以同校長講,
另可寫信或出 e-mail.
。
基本上聖保祿幼稚園每年都會有一批學生考到 Co-edu
and DGS,
之後大家都會有聯絡,
補習取决於家長,
家長認為幾多分先夠,
我識有人97分都話低分,
要補.
上堂肯留心,
平時多閱讀課外書,
根本不用補.
我最唔明小一要兩三天補習那批學生,
補完那批學生上堂更唔會專心,
習慣這模式,
將來小朋友條路更難行。
近年很多 top學校都好怕那一批過份補習學生,
在初小還好，到高小或中學,
那批人上堂不留心，不停傾計,
心散，打亂上堂秩序。所以很多學校在開學禮已請家長不要送小朋友到補習社做功課。

Co-edu 有新校舍，雖然學費貴，但物超所值。而且注重音樂，如果小朋友有音樂才華是一個好好選擇。但如果我要返工，又無車，又有多一個小朋友。我會先考慮學校離屋企有多遠， Co-edu 放學後必要先坐校車離開, Convent放學馬上可以去參加課外活動班，三點已可去游水，打波，學樂器,
平日六時前已可回家做功課。時間比較好用。如果屋企離 Co-edu 好遠返學,
放學加塞車,
可以用時間會比其他人少，每日會好趕。至於兩個小朋友，到時唔同學校，放學時間回家不一樣，學課外活動又要特別安掛。要好好考慮接送問題。

我小朋友在 Convent咁多年都是咁開心返學。咁多年有好多好朋友，大家都好珍惜友誼，互相幫助，鼓勵。她們都好愛戴校長及各科老師。好感恩。小朋友可唔可以享受各學校校園生活，取決於家長安掛，好好計劃一下。

講得啱！最好嘅和最適合是兩回事，咁唔代表最好嘅就唔係最適合喎！Convent 當然係好學校，但不能否認嘅係客觀現實上Co-ed又似乎好啲！升小一係家長可以幫子女鋪好入學之路嘅最後機會，升中一再想轉校就要靠孩子自己實力，咁諗揀最好嘅又似乎冇乜問題呢！
當然最熟悉孩子的還是父母自己，我只係想講出自己意見，絕無貶低Convent 之意，請勿誤會！
By the way，若果DGS 同Co-ed 都收我個女，一間女校no.1 ，一間男女校no.1，咁就睇吓自己鍾意個女讀女校定男女校囉！

順便一問: 據聞不少SPC學生由小一開始, 已要參加由SPC 老師開辦的補習班, 當然不是公開班, 只是給圍內人, 上課地點在太古城, 收費不菲, 不參加的很難考取高分, 這是否孰實?
