新聞透視 --- 學位有多荒

Jules_S

We lived in Europe for many years, and we move to Hk recently. I have visited two local schools these months, going to their class observation, talking to the principal and attending school events. Both school are not the most popular ones in Hk, maybe tier 2/3 kind of school. That's why these schools welcome prospective parents visiting. I must say I am quite impressed by the schools: down to earth, not only focus on academic, balance of life, open-minded, care for the interest of their students, instead of only the school name.

Comparing Europe, where most people go to the nearest school they live. School difference is not that big. Here in HK, u have great variety of choice. U just need to spend some more time to find the right one. So far I found that the local aided schools are really not bad.

I'm not surprised to hear contrary views, I have a friend who had lived in UK for many years and his daughter was born there. He came back to HK some years ago and decided that a HK style education is better for his daughter because he felt his daughter "was not learning anything" in the UK.

I always believe each family's situation and preferences are different and strictly speaking there are no right or wrong choices, however the choices we make for our children today do have an effect on how well they will fit into certain societies in future, so one should consider which part of the world they will most likely be living in when making choices for them.

I was just trying to find a movie to watch. I guess another sign of declining English in HK is that I thought there were more English version of Hollywood movies in the past. Now all but very few cinema show Cantonese dubbed version.
