國際學校係咪真係咁好，能解決左香港的讀書問題呢？

kk101

對唔住都要講句, 有一大部分揀國際學校的港人家長其實係懶人, 佢地唔想自己花時間同仔女溫書做功課, 又或者無勇氣好似我地咁去應付小一的interview。佢地唯一嘅優勢就係有錢。

講真, 如果父母自己出自傳統名校, 應該會對自己有優越感, 根本唔會考慮國際學校。

我家附近有好多國際學校學生, 有D真係寧舍smart, 但大部分都係曳仔。我個女有個同學原本讀International KG, 佢呀媽話個女返到屋企叫佢個名, 係都唔肯叫Mami, 嚇到佢即刻轉校

kk101>  I don't doubt that some parents send their kids to IS because of light workload and happy schooling.  But I don't think "如果父母自己出自傳統名校, 應該會對自己有優越感, 根本唔會考慮國際學校。" could be more wrong.  Just to give you another point of view.  I was in a good traditional school before boarding school in the US and then university at one of the Ivy Leagues.  I would say over 90% of my Ivy League classmates from HK went to famous traditional schools (e.g. DBS, DGS, SPCC, ...).  Looking around at all of my classmates' children, only one is in local school and all the rest are in IS (e.g. CIS, ISF, SIS, ...)  And the only one who is in local school is at DGS.  My case may be an extreme but I think the general preference for IS is obvious.

The facts I find is not the same.  Some of my neighbours send their kids to international schools.  Those boys/ girls are generally very polite and well-behaved.

咸魚青菜，各有所愛。IS小學到初中生的discipline 應比一般band 1/直資差，dating 也比較多。

True! Many alumni of those famous traditional schools are not sending their kids to mother schools (some cases are their spouse want their kids to attend these schools first and move on to IS in upper years. :) And Don't worry about kids' discipline issues (in my opinion, no longer an issue comparing to 20 years ago).

咁又唔可以咁講嘅…是culture同環境唔同，仲有是人的性格不同，所以小朋友就選擇了處理問題的方法…任何地方的小朋友都有著不同的壓力，中國小朋友較內儉，選擇結束自己生命，但外國的小朋友都會用自殘，什至傷害他人來宣泄情緒！

自己中学傳統band one英中,美加都住過,加拿大大学讀的是熱門科. 朋友有來自is, 傳統香港top band one中学, 或美加土生土長的華人. 如比較傳統中学的叻人和is / 外国長大的叻人計, 我只可說論視野寬闊, 知識層面闊, 思考具彈性, 還是後者優勝. 傳統中學求学求分數, 大量功課測考, 即使是尖子一樣, 根本無多餘時間去多接觸課外知識, 或更深層次多角度思考問題.

Yes, two entirely different philosophies.  And if I am asked what the biggest difference is, I would say it is the reason for learning.  In traditional school, you learn because you have tests and exams throughout the year, you will be graded and everyone emphasize the importance of getting good grades.  So students want to get good grades for their parents or themselves, to be competitive in rankings and to be able to advance.  In non-traditonal schools, learning is for learnings' sake.  Students want to learn because the material is interesting or they just have that intellectual curiosity.  Of course, this is a bit idealized but I do think this is what it comes down to.  Unfortunately, I don't think there is a one size fit all.  Some students will do better in one system and others in the other.

Your observation agrees with mine.

Bright students tends to go very far in an IS type school, sometime even more so than their counterpart in a LS type school environment, because they are driven by their own desire to do good instead of pressure to perform well on test.

On the other hand, average students in IS will tends to do a little less because the pressure to perform is comparatively lower and they do not possess the same desire like the brighter students. The same student may perform a little better in a LS school because testing pressure will at least keep them going.

The worst students will do about the same in both type of schools, as they lack the desire to do better and couldn't care less about the pressure to work, whether it exists or not.

Yes, some kids can indeed go really far.  The question is often how to help them mold their interest to take shape.

看到各家長親身經歷，國際學校、本地學校各有優缺點，兩者都可以出狀元。
似乎最重要是子女的性格和能力，適合國際學校的學生可以在學叻，出來社會亦叻；適合本地學校的學生要追課程、成績，無暇作全人發展，在學叻的，工作可能平平，不及在學平平，但興趣廣泛，人際關係好的同學。

你錯了，我敢講出身本地local 名校，而事業發展非常好的，不一定是選母校。因為天外有天，國際學校有很多也是好學校。既然有錢，學校師資好d(老師是名牌大學畢業生），學校資源配套勁強，又何需留戀你所講的優越感呢？富豪李嘉誠，捐幾多錢俾st Paul co edu,成幢荘月明樓，d孫都去讀german swiss啦！原因？唔通貪佢中文水皮咩？
