確實是，可惜好多家長同教育者已經泥足深陷，可憐的事一班我們社會未來的主人翁

但當身邊的人變曬喪屍；99%人都會自願或不情不願地變成喪屍。

我不會做喪屍。

I was turned off by the interview at St. Cxxxxxxxx 11 years ago and therefore decided to put my son into IS!  I did not prepare my son for at interviews but he passed everytime he got the chance.  I still remember during one of the IS interviews (my son was 4 applying for P.1,  my son asked the interviewer "why u have so many questions?  I am tired! "! the interviewer told me that with a smile on her face and my son got the offer finally.

當 99% 細路都係倒模出黎，可能就係個 1% 的細路將來更加會跑出。
近幾年，和很多大學教授談，佢地都話喜歡教 IS  學生，未必 acadamically 係最高分，但思維較好，學習態度較積極。

呢類學校，其實只有好少數真係考入名校，但他們就只係大大聲報喜，其實最後超過九成都係入普通小學，甚至只係靠派位，我都唔明佢地點可以以名校自居呢

父母的紧张,虚伪, 慌乱, 老师的傲慢,传递给一位两岁BB的讯息是:

世界艰难, 读书好辛苦, 做人要扮野, 阿爸阿妈好惊青, 外面的世界十分恐怖..................全部是可怕的负面生活啊!

孩子只不过很爱爸妈, 很想爸妈爱他,  爸妈不开心是因为我不够好, 我希望可以从来未出生, 或是快些不存在,
可以吗?

那管只是刹那间的念头, 这种self doubt 是刻骨铭心的.  孩子眼看缺乏自信的父母, 必然信任度大减, 日后还会心悦服诚的听你点吗?  听你话是因为吃紧你的饭, 没得選, 有机会即走, 有或赖死唔走, 等你做奴隶养佢一世也好!

好簡單。1. 學生人數多；基數大；跑出成功例子自然多d；
2. 好多幼稚園報名要填父母工作+讀邊間中小學；父母係名校old boys/old girls；世襲制下自然水到渠成；
3. 正如你講::入名校大大聲； 入唔到就數據欠奉：(好多international kindergarten都一樣)同樣家長入唔到名小去左街坊學校亦唔會大大聲話我係邊間邊間名幼出來不過考唔到邊間邊間名小；神話可以繼續吹下去。

I did not aim for putting my son into any 名校 (no matter local or international) at that time, and I don't believe that 名校 equals a guarantee of good path for future schooling. At the end my son got into non famous international kindy and primary. 輾轉 got into a so called famous IS,  but I would say the kid's own talent and effort,  the family background and parent's support and effort are more important factors than the name of the school!

見識過有些父母連小朋友食飯時都在train 中、英、數, 真令旁人情緒不安

It reminds me of this song of 1979

"...We don't need no thought control........All in all you're just another brick in the wall......"

Me too.  I was pleased off by the interview of St. C years ago.

The teachers showed my son a picture, which was a lady sweeping the floor using a traditional sweep.  She asked my son what the woman was doing?  The picture was quite outdated as nowadays family usually uses vacuum cleaner instead.  I recalled the picture was black and white and drawn in old style like my days in primary.

I failed to understand the purpose of asking that question.  What did it represent if the kid answered correctly?  That was something not reflecting nowadays life.

其實要未夠兩歲既小朋友去面試，被評核，我已經覺得係件殘酷既事！兩歲小朋友究竟可以要求幾多呢？

similarly, i was turned off by the teacher's question/comment : my son was given a set of clothes, hat, pants, socks, shoes to put on a naked doll (paper made), he matched all correctly : hat to head, clothes to body, pants to legs, socks and shoes to feet...
but then, the teacher said "ok, but you have to put on the pants before the shoes" !!!
i was annoyed as I think it's too much for a 2.5 years old! and, she did not say you have to put them in a correct sequence wo!

also, i hate the way they arranged the parents and kids to line up in a long queue outside the school before the interview! it's not humane especially for the 2-3 years old! and I think they did this to show off their long queue of applicants! they are too business oriented instead of kids and parents friendly!

my son got the places from St Cxxxxxxxx as well as Kenxxxxxx, but i finally decided that LS is not our cup of tea!

實在極不願小朋友羸在起跑線

I think the essence of doing education is to explore the potentials of the kids, to train them up rather than to categorize them at the sort of infant stage.

If a school can train up kids from different background with different talents, it is definitely a good school.

If a school only choose kids with excellent academic strengths, no matter how many As the school claims to achieve, it is nothing to do with the school.  Those kids can get As wherever they study.
