我會請中英A做trainee.

所以有D家長仲用人均優良率去rank學校,跟本同現實脱了節。最近牛津的入學主任説HK很多高分尖子面試失敗,死因多數係好快就找到答案,但叫佢解釋吓就依依哦哦！

thanks for your sharing. You have raised some good points. Are your kids stu ...

我係DBS old boy, 兩個小朋友讀國際學校既。 我地係九龍大,其實對港島區學校不太熟悉,以前inter-school比赛有印象Marymount既女仔英文好叻,又吹得,St Mary 就冇乜遇到過。我依家係pro La Salle, con DBS的。我反對傳统名校轉直資的。私校直資應該讓D新學校去做。我支持林超英的。
其實冇話pro Marymount or st Mary,睇吓家長要D乜？你想田徑叻就唔好送個仔去游泳學校
；想游水叻就唔好送佢去田徑學校。
只係睇到D人誤聽途説,認唔住,多口啫。

Lawsonmoon, thanks. We also consider int'l school but seem too expensive for two kids so drop the idea.  In u case, why not send kids to local traditional schools.

HK的國際校真係好貴,但遲D大少少可能送佢地返美國讀中學,免費的。叫做拉上補下,拉後補前吧！因為未必長期在HK做嘢,所以仔女讀國際校會flexible D。
其實睇自己需要,我太太台灣人,我們在家用廣東話加國語,所以仔女到國際學校學英文。我有個西人partner太太HK人,在家用英文,他把仔女送主流學校,話學中文。

Marymount for sure if your girl can get up, unless that you want your girl to be much academic-oriented and localised. Marymount girls are much prestigious and confident

lawsonmoon, thanks for your sharing.  As we don't have foreign passports, we do prefer to spend $$ later for university education... but want to make sure the english level is up to standard and can catch up the overseas study. So, we do prefer english medium instruction of school. Unfortunately, there are very few choices in Hong Kong other than DG, Maryknoll etc.

truthmr99,

You may consider to help your girl to St. Paul's Convent.  SPC is a truly EMI school too!  Less homework and happy study mood!  Girls are outspoken and presentable too!  However, is a private school which you need to pay school fees.  Still it is cheaper than International schools and DGS.

For SPC, those places are generally reserved for its feeder kg/nursery.  So, outsiders can't get into SPC easily.

有PASSPORT都唔係一定有用。

好似英國咁，本地人D學費一D都唔平。我都諗住中學左右番英國，但條數都好襟計！（因為果邊，公立既好少有質素好既！）

那就看你肯不肯犠牲你的生活了。我公司有個同事同你的planning 一樣,兩公婆工作,只是中五畢業,请姐姐用菲庸,回家看英文電視,小朋友只可看英文卡通。女女讀中小津校,每星期一堂外籍老師私補0ral,不是學grammer那種,大约千一二元一個月。Her daughter can speak fluent eng and communicate with my kids in eng very well!盡量俾機會佢講英文,菲庸都冇問題。唔好學一般香港人成日笑singaporean and malaysian講英文有口音,外國人覺得有口音係好正常的。In fact,英國有個調查,亞洲學生中,馬來西亞人既英文水準最高。
Give u two more examples:
霍金不能發聲,他選電腦人造發聲時選了有北歐口音的英文發聲,他説英國人一般覺得講英文有口音既人好cute喎！

陶傑也講過一個笑話,一個中國人在英國酒會講得一口英國貴族口音既英文,有英國人講笑咁讚佢英文講得仲好過他,其實骨子裏係笑緊佢鶧䳇學舌,明明係外國人,做乜要扮英國人口音講嘢！

lawsonmoon,

I agree with you totally.. just dont understand why HK people just like to tease at others.. as for me, I am a Malaysian.. I speak english.. they think we sound funny.. plus I study at UK as well. plus my hubby is from UK.. so my accent will twing between UK and M'sia accent.. hahaha.. so depending who I talk to..

lawsonmoon

呢D都係未係外國真正生活過既人,才會咁冇知的。
BTW, it's so awesome that u can read Chinese!

Greatmother

Yes I can read Chinese but not good in writing.  Would be happy to know you Lawsonmoon as a friend from BK!

truthmr99, you may want to consider SPC for P1.. they do take in outsider each year.. write to them to get an interview if you really like the school.

Greatmother, thanks for your suggestion.  Will give it a try and all depend on luck.  In your case, how old is your girl?   Are you considering SPC / St. Mary's for next school year?

Greatmother

Truthmr99,

I would pick SPC for my girl as she will be more happy there after learning SPC is more relax with less homework school.  Girls are confident there too.
