After considering all the pro and con of this school, I think both sides are talking about their own feelings, thus, no right or wrong comments. I will take this school because:
a) as a DDS, it is allowed to select the students with its own criteria. It would probably reduce (but still have) the diverse academic level among students in some extent, as compared to other gov't or subsidy school under the lucky draw allocation. From day one, I already plan to give up lucky draw.
b) I didn't buy the duck feed education system, though to a parent, the traditional school of course has its own merits. Especially it would be more easily to "know" the academic level with "marks" so that greater pressure can be exerted to the kids when they are not up to standard. It can produce the kids who are good at exam. Nonetheless, the presentation skill, confidence and independence are not well-trained in most of the traditional school. I prefer that she has more time to read books. That’s why I didn’t enroll any traditional school (of course due to my daughter’s character).
c) every school has good or bad students. I have also visited the school and noted 3-4 students running at the street after school while a hundred of them were just behaved well. When I rode on the KCR, an elder sister, and one brother (both of them were WKF students) got in with their maid but the brother was very naughty and kept moving and moving (quite annoying I must say) while the sister (about P4) was sitting down and reading an english chapter book quietly. I am afraid I can't infer from this and tell whether this school's students in general are good or bad. Of course, I will remind my kid that she is representing the school when she's in uniform. She must be well behaved.
d) Many parent may accuse that the curriculum is too easy such that some parents required to provide supplementary classes for the kids to keep up their standard and start query why they need to pay the school fees but at the same time have to spend money in those extra classes. For me, it's fine. Even my friends with kids in DGS, St Paul Co-Ed, TSL, APS, etc, enrolled various supplementary classes just to meet up the "standard" but some are ok but some are so so. That means, even not in this school, this likes a kind of "fixed" cost for me in order to tackle the "not left behind" myth. You may not agree but this is what my peers are doing.
In fact, many parents are contradicting (even myself from time to time) and swinging between the "active" and "traditional" one. It's quite interesting to note some parents may worry about the kids left behind if the school curriculum is just in line with EDB while starting complaining about the school is too "谷" if the school skipped grade 1A or even entire P1 syllabus. It ultimately drives all teaching approach to become examine-oriented. Many of my peers who have kids in secondary schools send their kids to overseas, as a vote against the HK education environment nowadays.
Every parent has the right to praise or blame the school. During last one year, I’ve collected various “comments” regarding many different schools from EK or from current parents, but at the end of the day, parent is the key support to your own kids and the selection is quite personal as no kid is the same.
In fact, the school’s development report has already pinpointed the weaknesses and threats of this school honestly. I would like to thank all the parents who share their opinions and I hope I will share what I “feel” later after my kid studying in this school for other parent’s reference. |
