拔萃小學對喇沙

Carelesswhisper

LS學習氣氛同學習資源都OK架, 校規都算嚴, 不過我都BUY架, 你朋友個仔已經好好運, good luck!

LS 自行入到, 好大機會要係 old boy + 教徒, dbps 係基督教, LS係天主教, 你朋友咁真係好鍾意DB.

朋友佢喜歡直資小拔學習氣氛,佢會再試一次叩門,失敗都冇問題,有喇沙後備,有多少人好似佢咁好幸運 ...

Wa so lucky, use LS as back-up.........

一定喺LS喇
1. 兩間都一條龍，入LS有細佬仲可以受惠, DBSPD 不能也
2. dpspd 我相信比較貴族化, 要孝慮這是否合適
3. LS所慳嘅學費可用於課外活動，db 13年學費肯定過半百萬
4. 如 LS 不轉直資,制度不變，你朋友嘅孫子都有10分父母分！相反dpspd就祇得5-10%嘅舊生分，毫不吸引
5. LS 會考成績比較好；運動不相伯仲；db 音樂比較好

Agreed with all your comments but #2, common myth in EK.
Add one more point both schools' boys are diversified from humble to snoobish ..........

I think you will regret if you do not choose LS.

自己鍾意LS多啲，學生黎自唔同背景，較似一個社會嘅微縮。
不過聽過我同事對DBS嘅形容，覺得唔敢高攀。

If you are talking about DPS vs LS, I think LS is a bit better.
If you are talking about DBSPS vs LS, they are no longer at the same level.  DBSPS is much much better than LS.

Could you let me know some facts about how DBSPD is far far better than LS?

I have to admit, both are top-tier schools and dream schools for most parents.  I think I feel no regret at all if my son is admitted by either LS or DBSPD.  If I am such a lucky papa that my son gets both 2 offers, I may consider LS more based on the facts I quoted.  Maybe some aspects I am overlooking so that you think my choice is not a rational one.

Want to say something about my #2, about the dpsdp becomes more 'prestiguous'.  It is a rather neutral statement as some may like the school is more 'prestiguous' while some may not.

Back to the years without DSS and through-train policy, outstanding academic primary students within their districts can be admitted to DBS.  So you can see students from different social classes, both poor and rich.

Nowadays, the competition starts when the students are just tiny babies (2-3 years old).  Over 2600 smart kids with all-rounds trainings, from academic to sport, from music to art,  compete with the limited 150 seats for dpspd. Kids are prepared for this admission 'games' for 2~3 years, getting the academic certificates, getting some sport awards, learning music instruments, getting some art awards etc...  You can imagine it is not the 'game' for those 'relatively' poor families as all these ECAs cost a lot .  You can argue the admission criterias are not based on those certificates and awards, but I believe that those well-trained kids are more advantageous than those normal kids in this selection process.  Who can really know the real potential of a child at just the age of 5 or 6?

My gut feeling is nowadays students admitted to DBS/DBSPD are richer than those old boys, those at the years without DSS and through-train policy.  I think this trend is also applied to all top-tier DSS schools.

I am not an anti-DBS parent.  I love DBS too and also will apply DBSPD for my son, though i believe the chance is really low.  I will treat this as a 'lucky-draw' to see if my son can be lucky enough.  Ironically, i guess my son's chance in getting LS admission is riskier and lower than DBSPD !!!

Can you elaborate more on this point?

Appreciate your fair and honest comment on schools. No matter what's your comment on #2, it's worth to try, not for you, for your boy.

Wish your son can get in the most appropriate / suitable school.

Definitely not........
Unless they put the under pants on top of the pants......

Maybe some of parents like to build up how prestigious (or higher level）for DBSPD. No matter what, both LS and DBSPD are unique！ Other schools are unique too！

我兒子讀LS，我朋友兒子讀DBS。我的個人意見如下：

DBS較為自由，學校不太計較學生成績，反正優異生有很多。結果，是教淺考深，要家長自行教導催谷。你跟得上就跟得上，如跟不上就自生自滅。學校絕不介意，亦不特別施以緩手，總之自行學習，自己攪掂!校方強調要全人教育，多方面發展。

LS非常嚴格，十分計較成績。課程有十分清楚的要求，一步一步均要求家長跟足，不可偏差丁點，是傳統天主教學校。如不能跟上，學校會請你離開。如不肯，也由得你，不過肯定不會給你升LS中學。但是，作為家長總算是有得跟!

我認為如果你兒子真的是人中之龍，即是絶頂聰明（唔教都識)或者富家子弟（唔識都唔緊要，最後會海外升學)，又會自動波（家長攪掂，學生努力），可選DBS！

如果你兒子只是一般聰明(需要後天催谷培訓)，小小年紀又受得了壓力（考試黙書分數上一分一分天與地的差異），家長又可全力配合，希望有課程可跟，可選LS。

人中龍型的孩子真的應該讀DBS，會真的有較好的發展!凡夫俗子型的孩子就應該讀LS，學下要努力受催谷受壓力，求進步。兩間學校各有優劣，各有fans!

說DBS遠遠超過LS，根本是不値一駁！

以我朋友兒子為例，最後因成績一般，決定住英國讀F3。你兒子是否真的是適合DBS的教法，就只有你自己知道!

Maybe they put underpants on the pants then wear another pants on top!

It is not true if you are talking about dbspd.  They have lift-off classes for those who do not do well.

LS有唔同背景的學生，小孩心理會舒服d。DBS是貴族學校有朋友教名校他說如在這類學校讀書只有3種學生會被人看得上眼1.勁有家底2.讀書成績超叻3.運動或音樂好勁常替學校攞獎。自問3種都唔係，所以唔敢諗。純粹個人愚見，不喜勿插。

我認識好幾位 DBS家長，其實佢地兒子都係好普通，讀書一般，小三先學樂器，又冇入校隊，但佢地讀得好開心，同埋佢地成日都約埋同小朋友有敘會，生日會、出外旅遊、其實都唔係有咩特別，當然有錢人真係比其他學校多好多。
