I thought CIS?

I am not sure if all of them go to German Swiss. 大劉個人女就CIS. Anyway, some said CIS only interviews 200 candidates this year ( reception year).  Hence they do much on the first screening, by reviewing the 8 pages questionnaires! It's more serious than an job interview!

我最怕和最接受不到國際學校的是，個is學生的行為和態度！真是無禮貌，不尊重人包括父母。我真係見不少中國人的國際學校學生，如果我個仔係咁真係生叉燒好過生佢，但當然不是個個都係咁，不少過來人都同我講，他們的確是很愛看書，但真係覺得仔女的行為很西化，包括非常不聽父母教道，中國人的道德觀，家庭觀念他們沒有，禮儀也不同。但我見真係native的同學又不是這樣，他們西化但很有禮，我個人認為是因為他們跟父母有一樣的文化和價值觀，父母能upbring佢地的小朋友，eg, 外國人不會要仔女大個給家用，18歳就可以自己living apart. 香港人當然知道現在的後生都不一定會養自己，但會祈望的關係跟外國文化的很大不同，但你要知道他的老師和同學都會灌輸西方的文化給他，到時，學校和家庭的mismatch,可能就會產生很多問題。German Swiss is abit diff, 你要知道德國人是怎樣教育小朋友的嗎？他們是很disciplinary的，所以揀國際學校都要揀間啱些。如果你從外國留學回來，可能適合一點，如果你自己都係好傳統not open minded 的，又只是想佢開心學習，逃離田鴨的話，當真考慮清楚！

都是睇父母點教，你跟得好就無問題。教得吳好，local band 3果d一樣激死你。

German Swiss係好好，但你讀得就預左好難keep到中文，就算屋企點努力，都keep吳到中文係functional level，咁係一個大缺點，睇你介吳介意。

Some times is not how you teach but is how you perceive and do you accept. Often it create relationship problem, argue and emotional issue .

Talking about the 2 daughters of one of my relatives : They are now 15-16 years old. They had studied in CIS since primary but their parents transfer them into a traditional school since 3 years ago. But until now, the girls still could not speak Cantonese properly in family gathering (e.g. in front grandma / grandpa). If I am their parents, I really mind. Because no matter what, we are Chinese living in HK.

But I would have thought their mandarin is quite good?

而家好多IS收學生，除左想要native eng speaker, 仲想要同時係native mandarin speaker。我老闆就係例子，美國佬娶個北京女人，當然老闆娘都係海歸派，英文啦啦聲的。尋日老闆娘至上左黎傾計，我老闆娘好勁架，全世界都讚我老闆識揀老婆，一個女人全部一腳踢，成家搬完屋連個秘書都吾知果種。尋日老闆娘話，拎成績表老師好surprise佢全部自己教，無請tutor，我老闆忙到嘔成曰飛無可能幫到手，即媽媽媽個自己打理頭家仲教兩個。老師話，四年班個個都請tutor架啦，佢地真犀利！邊個以為Is讀得輕鬆，真係錯晒

係呀，呢個時勢，你想get ahead係邊度都要出力！

不過IS有個好處係遲少少先，同埋少d無謂抄寫，吾似得名local，小一開學凳都未坐暖就默書咁得人驚

Very difficult to have both native since I doubt many HK families have a native English and a native Mandarin speaking parent.  The only ones I know are Taiwanese or mainland Chinese who have spent a long time abroad.  But with all these new Mandarin and English schools in HK, I am sure the next generation will do much better.  Where does your boss' kids go to school?

國際學校都有分好多種架！西方社會的學校也有分精英學校和普通學校。精英學校都要很努力讀書的。最重要的系有好多西方家庭並不期望子女要入讀大學，所以他們根本不在乎成績，小朋友自然會懶。但也有些西方家庭希望小朋友成為社會精英。而中國人家庭大部分希望小朋友成為精英。文化不同無得比較。最重要系家長自己要想清楚哪一種類型的學校適合自己的家庭。切忌人雲亦雲。因為適合人家的不一定適合你自己。

我唔想引致無謂對抝。不過除非你唔想佢識寫中文，否則默書操練係必須既。西方語文可用拼音來串出甚至未學過既字。中文方塊字唔得。所以我自己某程度上係贊成默書操練既。如果唔係上來EK, 我其實好多時會執筆忘字添。對小孩來亦早學早著。至於話有些小學一返學就默書。唔係啩。係咪想知學生既程度喳......

是的，阿女一年班私小，第一星期已默。所有小學都默書，冇乜特別，還有unseen Tim. 有好多人可以100，又有人0分。

筆者也是一個普通家長，跟大家都一樣，有著同樣的疑問…沒有針對性，只是讓大家參考和思考。

那就奇怪了,我認識的國際學校家長大多都是出自名校, 他們的確為自己的母校而驕傲,但同時接觸到更吸引的教學母模式時,就很想給自己的子女去享受學習, 因而送他們到國際學校. 國際學校的家長如果要跟貼小朋友的功課,其實下的苦功應不比本地學校家長少, 因他們所學的,所做的,學校所要求的,跟我們以前所學的完全不同,家長亦要有不錯的英語能力才能應付,我所講的不是socially fluent而是academically fluent.

I have also met Western parents who have high expectations for their kids but don't want them to do a lot of homework either.  They don't really believe in homework since that was how they were brought up themselves.  But they do spend a lot of time reading.  For those who have been more assimilated to the HK ways, they do see the benefits in specific subjects like Math and Chinese.

Can't agree more.  To learn Chinese, no pain no gain.  For other subjects, its fine and can be a bit more relax.

同意呀, 中文要較長時間浸架. 同埋真係要盡早學. 我媽媽是小學教師, 教了名校中文30年. 眼見很多家長由小朋友一出世起便全英語溝通, 接著送去國際幼稚園讀. 但小一又要考番入傳統名校. 結果中交補極都沒有進步 (可以是3,40分, 比較好些也只有 C grade). 最重要是有些傳統名校其實是中文小學, 非常注重中文的. 最後, 無奈地, 家長要為小朋友轉回國際學校.  
所以我覺得為小朋友揀學校, 最重要是銜接. 如果一早已幫小朋友走國際路線, 就唔好無啦啦半途出家送回去傳統學校讀, 喲中文真係追死個小朋友同家長. 我媽而家退休了還幫緊好多這類的小朋友補中文. 佢話睇見家長又憂心, 小朋友又慘.

國際學校學生有冇禮貌？
視乎你對"禮貌"有何定義。
用本土學校的定義，例如所謂尊重父母，國際學校唔啱本土學校的標準。
對我來講，國際學校不用考記憶力，禮貌不評分。
有乜比"禮貌"更重要？
How about students' attitude to different civilization, tolerance to minority groups, sensitivity to the environment, compassion to the disadvantages, respect for other's rights to different views, understanding their obligation to humanity, etc?
本土學校的學生有冇"禮貌"？Have you tried to leave an elevator when local students all want to enter? Do they talk in high volume in public places without regard to other's comfort? Do they give up their seats in MTR for those in needs, etc etc etc?
I am afraid I don't find students from local schools more polite than international school students. I am also afraid that I don't find adults who graduated from local schools are more polite than graduates from international schools or from schools elsewhere. If anything, I find them more considerate (polite?) than local graduates!
