有冇家長后侮選了國際學校，而非傳統小學？

better to send her to local stream for kindergarten and primary to build up her 底子。

As for insulting the queen...hmmm that is another story altogether. ...

Haha, the queen has very little to do with it

Yes, local stream should help, especially with Chinese, and I'm sure your child won't write 后侮 instead of 後悔 {:1_1:}

如果因為中文呢科後悔, 我覺得那位家長之前根本就冇諗清楚或理解清楚自己決定.  我都一早plan左比兩個小朋友入 is, 三四歲開始自己教中文, 亦有請老師,  佢地兩個仲細, 最後中文學到物程度我唔知, 有d都要睇人.  我大個個唔係太接受, 教左兩年幾, 佢程度比本地小朋友慢一年.  細個比本地小朋友 (唔計寫字, 因為佢真係細d) 快一年至年半.  另外, 我兩個小朋友都能用頗流利普通話傾計.

至於你所講另外個位自己讀is, 中文唔好, 所以打算送小朋友入 ls 嘅家長, 咁講唔上係後悔, 佢一早都唔打算比小朋友入 IS架啦.  

入得is, 中文自己係屋企要加把勁預左.  每個小朋友都唔同, 有d你請個老師又或比佢去出面學已ok，有d就要父母自己都加多幾錢肉緊.  我覺得只要父母因應子女性格, 去安排相關教學, 小朋友都會學得ok, 係冇 ls 中文咁好, 但日常生活, 寫普通文章都唔會有問題.  如果要求要match 住 ls程度, 咁就係不設實際.  等於你唔會 expect 大部入 ls d 英文好掛?  佢地大部老師自己都講唔掂!  睇下英文老師基準試合格率簡直心寒.  起碼大部份 is 都講普通話native speaker教中文吖!

i am just so thankful having my kids in IS.  My kids and our family have a life!  Everyday they can go out to play for at least an hour after school.  My daughter likes baking and she even has time to do it on weekdays!   I never have to worry about tests and exams and their scores not up to standard.  I never have to 閉關 during weekend to prepare for projects, dictation and tests!

Maybe there are more reasons for the cause of her extreme poor Chinese level.  I studied in English schools since kindergarden, with only one Chinese lesson daily.  I also studied Simplified Chinese.  I have no problems communicating in Chinese and reading most Chinese books, be it Simplified or Traditional.  My only hiccup is that I cannot write Traditional Chinese.  On the contrary, I can speak and write fluent English.  And I can tell you, I am not gifted in languages at all, just very average.  So its always down to what one pursues.

Quite happy to learn that most people are happy with their IS choice.  Its certainly not an easy decision to make.

傳統和is 有不同的學習理念
我是學習理念, 而不是語文.
我兩個小孩均唸is, 十分喜歡.
是創意學習﹑是愉快學習...

is 也有它的不足, 例如基礎會較弱, 包括: 中和英(文法),
但 做父母的要為他們補足呢!!!

傳統的也有它的困難, 死板, 書包十分重,
要將學習的興趣和能力磨滅才罷休!!!

不過, 大家均有十分成功和十分失敗的例子,
我之見要看父母如何配合孩子成長和補其缺助其強.

觀乎各位留言的家長, 似乎沒有人後悔選了國際學校喎! 而暫時, 唯一的擔心就是中文水平比較大幅度"落後", 可是這個所謂缺失, 亦可以透過家長的介入而得到改善.

想中文好就唔可以全依賴學校教，點都要出去補和自己再跟，我兩個小朋友Y1已開始補中文（繁體）補到Y6，學校 ...

係！家庭教導比所有也重要！誰説IS小孩中文一定差？

有 IS 中文分能力上課，最高級的是用 第一語言程度的書，課程不易。佢個間唔係 Kellete 嗎？送孩子去 Kellete 又要中文贊失望。

Although my kids studied in IS, both of them got a pass in the HKCEE Chinese language examination.

我同意你說語言只是教育的一部分，不應只為學英文入 Is。

唔係掛，IS英文文法弱過LS?  你用邊間IS 同邊間 LS 比較呢?

Are your children in primary or in secondary?  If already in secondary and still can enjoy life as you described, they must be very very smart.  IS students will be competing with students globally for university places in HK and overseas, and academic results/exam results do count.  Any idea how would school prepare your children for this?

elmostoney

year 1 and 2.  very happy now.  seems an overwhelming number of parents are aiming for ivy league and oxbridge.  Honestly, I am not.  I just don't think it's realistic for most children.  That doesn't mean I just let them do whatever they want, but I do want them to have a balanced life.


總之, 我覺得因材施教.  我以前都唔接受, 覺得教大女, 點解教極中文都學得咁慢, 後來有所頓悟, 唔係人人都可以去到某一個AGE就谷到, 有D人遲D, 有D人可能永遠都唔會太鍾意個樣野又或冇天份.  教我個仔, 佢好受.  咁咪學快D.  佢重來冇正式返幼稚園, 佢學認所有字, 不論中英, 直到四歲八個月入YEAR 1, 全部都係我係屋企教.  我家中文補習老師有補本地學校學生, 佢話細仔認字能力有本地谷嘅小一下學期 (佢仲有個半月先5歲).  以前我會比較兩個, 而家都放鬆左.  好似我個女, 做數理解都麻麻, 我覺得要教到佢明, 但係唔係要操到佢勁.  每人talent都唔同, 希望佢係IS可以提供環境比佢發掘自己所長.

我有次睇一本書, 係一個台灣家庭去不同地方住, 女兒因而入讀國際學校.  到中學, 功課 project 考試都唔少, 但佢仍要求女兒幫手做家務, 因為呢D係佢對家庭參與, 讀書非人生全部.  我希望我將來都能做到咁.

有次我請女兒老師來食飯, 我阿女負責煮一味主菜, 係*真正*自己睇食譜, 買材料, 90%佢自己整.  (佢鍾意食同煮野食).  事後, 我兩個細路洗返自己用套碗筷. 老師(西人), 好impressed, 我唔係係到話自己教得好, 因為我有好多勁朋友, 特登唔請工人, 唔返工, 自己湊, 家事都要求子女參與.  老師話, 而家不論洋人中國人, 屋企都有工人, 好多小朋友即使去到year 5 year 6 都唔識照顧自己, 佢見過好多好多.

You do realize that you are asking this question on IS board, right? Not exactly the best place to get unbiased opinion.

I think Chinese was less emphasized in IS 20 yrs ago.

I think my kid will write 'regret ' as 后悔。因為無論佢讀國際或傳統，我相信我小朋友的中文程度有能力知道后侮和後侮都是正確寫法。后悔係簡體時的寫法。讀傳统中文都唔一定好。I am not insulting the queen, haha. if your Chinese not Good enough, u can check it on dictionary

國際學校崇尚自由, 愉快, 這是十分良好的, 造就自信, 開心的學生.
可是如果家長不配合的話, 也容易讓學生所學的東西不穩固.基礎不穩
這就是西方教育的問題: 不會串字, 文法差,
可以很散慢地學習!!!

我兩個孩子讀is, 我深明其利也明其弊.

讀ls的也有其害:
死板, 由小一開始就預備考tsa, 問你死味!!!
何來有發揮, 創意???
其好處是, 安安定定的人仔, 可以有個基礎, 你可以看到的.
但越高班, 你越會失望, 因為己見不到什麼了......
