I don't see how just hearing from outsiders naysayers is fair either.  I am advocating responses from both, or more if there are other, sides, not just from one side.

I mean if the girl is already in Upper primary or even secondary, it's very difficult to catch up the English. Anyway, I know a student who went to Canada at the age of 9 or 10, with very poor English. But then he developed native English and graduated from the top university there.

但不知道現在的富二代有否那種鬥志

Difficult, agree.  But as I said, there are a few who has little or no HK accent.  Just watch the Singtao interschool debate teams from the local schools.  They most likely develop very good pronunciation in primary years for some reason.

I did not say listening to only outsiders is fair.  What you said now (comments from both sides) is more reasonable, but it is not the same as before.

I think it is unfair to have all these negative comments from non-parents.  What do Harrow's parents think about the school?

You thought negative comments, or comments from non parents, or both are unfair to Harrow.

Sorry, meant to say both sides.  I wasn't as clear before since we have enough from the side of outsider naysayers already and just thought it would be nice to have some counters.

我睇好國內學生的鬥志及家長的無限量支持 ....... 肯讀就ok！

I share your view.  In fact, it is recognised amongst teachers and educators that students from very rich Chinese families are generally more tough and hard working than students from not so rich HK families.

By the way, I have nothing to do with Harrow (except that I visited their campus in Middlesex some years ago).

And, as a side note, it is time for some of our fellow parents to completely set aside some of the unfounded prejudices against students from China.  Go to IFC or Citibank Plaza in the morning, buy yourself a cup of coffee at Starbucks and look around.  The scene may be shocking for the less informed: the young persons from China are the ones who speak better English, take up the better positions, have a better world vision, and ... are being served by HK kids.

呢度好像比較少Harrow嘅家長.

Starbucks coffee must be magic, a sip of that stuff and one could deduce so much about the strangers around the room, who is from where and what position they hold and what world views they have, and it must give one acute hearing too, how else could one eavesdrop on conversations far and near

我NUM’大陸人’NEE３個字、要一段時間先可以「洗底」、這種以偏蓋全的講法、我自己都好有保留、BUT奈何、現在我地在香港見到D大陸人就真係、、、！　当然作為大陸人好多優勢、語言以外、最重要都係人脈/人際関係。　所以香港人真係要好自為知。　　NOAHARK講到IFC、JUST　WENT　TODAY,又想丙人LA,見到幾個大陸TOURIST、３個人企埋一斉、講野都要鬼殺GUM嘈、好無品。

我估依家IS 收的多數是海歸派，在外國讀書或工作多年，小朋友在外國出世（即我們常見的ABC)，跟自由行旅客是兩種不同的人

我諗你是對的，但他們每星期能見雙親多過幾個鐘頭的我估好少。

有啲家長，見少啲仲好。(This applies to both HK and Chinese parents.)

I think the reference is to the mainlanders who work in HK and not the ones who are here on a tourist visa

大陸人有好多種層次，由超級 Smart, 超級勤力，超級國際視野，到參加造假蛋課程被呃的也有。前者可能是 1% 尖子。

來香港的過江龍，在 ibank 工作，是前者居多。以他們比一般香港人，並不公道。

這只是指工作能力方面，但人民質素？我不願置評。我只想起堂堂大國，不能為人民提供奶粉，餅乾，金飾，是何等羞恥的事。振災的錢被拿來私用，是何等滅絕人性的事。

學校越來越多大陸人嘅學生係事實, 亦都係現實.  唔止香港, UK boarding schools 亦都係一樣.  睇吓這一個 thread 就知幾誇張

總之, 大家各自努力就 OK 咯.

I have heard that ESF and GSIS have some 80-90% of HK students and Mainland students in the secondary sections, respectively. Can someone tell if these figures are believable?
