選國際學校你最著重什麼？純屬分享，無對錯

我覺得揀IS 難過LS，因為無分band. 聽學校介紹佢地一定話自己好，我本身無太多朋友子女讀IS, 所以我少少依賴感覺，參觀完自己直覺，你地呢？

Student mix

Do you mean student mix from different ethnic groups? I also like a true "international" school rather than just an English school teaching another curriculum. Nowadays seems difficult. Most schools that I have paid visit have more locals than foreigners. I hope my kid can have a global exposure.

Yea. Now there are more new schools. Very difficult to assess these information. It is easier to get into new school which lack these information. It is much more difficult to get into we'll established schools nowadays

Students from different cultures, not necessarily ethnic groups, not just Chinese families speaking English at home.

真係咁多機會任揀就好，有個位都難求。

Is there a reason you put student mix even before, say, university placement, Chinese curriculum or faculty?

All these can be provided by good local schools.

好多時都係學校選你而唔係你選學校(那些明顯不受歡迎的學校例外）
我覺得華人學生多就最好, 香港家長管教比較嚴, 學生會乖d, 老師就要西人多的好, 教中文的就要源自國內的好

個人想孩子進is, 主要不喜填鴨教育對達標的重視, 小學而言, 特別是低年班, 比較著重學校愛心和對學生關心, 一班人數不要太多, 功課不要太多, 讓孩子有足夠時間看書和放學後去玩.  對學術重視和少功課/快樂童年, 其實是兩難全的.  我自己也為這兩個目標掙扎, 誰不想兩樣兼得?  

到中學就不同了, 當然是成績比較重要.

至於品行和規矩, 西人多的學校不一定不好, 我想學校的宗旨最重要.  比較有歷史的學校中, kellett school 的學生出名有禮行為良好, 學術也不錯. 再者, 家教有很重要.  再好的學校, 一心只打算讓學校負責起教孩子德行的父母, 就不要期望太高了.

我家兩孩兒讀的is是新校, 對德育很重視 (我相信一班人數少也有一定影響, 老師能看得緊一點) 我所認識的洋人家長很多也教子有方, 將來我不敢說, 但是這兩年超讚! 反而亞洲人(包括本地人) 不一定要求孩子有禮.

我都諗過但咁同直資好似無乜分別

行IB的LS 如蔡繼友我都喜歡, 維多利亞也不錯

The discovery approach of IS cannot be provided by local schools, right? If you want discovery approach education instead of exam oriented local schools, then you choose IS, right?  When looking at ISes, you would put student mix as the most important criteria?

Just want to understand.

佢地d行為我唔想comment啦

言則所有鬼仔姝有行為問題，所有本地學校生沒行為問題？本地學生的問題在學校在家庭被「壓」下去吧了。

其實大家也可看看一套叫waiting for superman 嘅documentary 講美國的教育制度，內𥚃是我們家長面對的問題，如. 師生比例，大班好定小班好，資源豐富的學校是否一定有好成績，免費教育帶來的社會問題，抽籤派位是否公平（小孩的學習道路由抽獎來安排）等等。這套片的片段可以在YouTube 找到。在此向大家分享，或者有家長看完亦可在此分享

朋友間都有一種謬誤，就係喜歡某些IS，但又怨學校中文吾夠。其實那些學校從無話自己係bilingual school，對人對己都係，合理期望好緊要。

有些人是不會滿足的，到學校中英雙絕，佢又話數學唔夠。
