Like I said, it really depends on the parent expectation and the particular school ...

ISF is a great example. While many parents (including locals, overseas returnees and expats) rave about ISF being a great dual language school with strong academic training, there are also those who simply refrain from applying due to the large amount of homework it is giving their students (which some parents love).

Yes, choosing which school is a very personal family choice. Also be aware that certain International Schools may be too 'expat' feel, and if the family does not have such lifestyle, the child will either have adaptation / social issues, or grow up feeling very removed from family gatherings (ie. all of the parents' relatives & friends socialize in Chinese).

Yep, families have to define what they really need from a school and search the ones that provide such environment. Whether these needs are reasonable or smart is a different question.

One size cannot fit all.
I think as ethnic Chinese parents, the children has to be fluent in their mother tongue: Cantonese.

The more bizzare a thing is, the less mysterious it proves to be.

Don't understand. If parent's mother tongue is Cantonese, how can they be not fluent. There has to be a dominate language family and friends use right? In the case of ethnic HK Chinese, how can it be anything other than Cantonese?

I know some IS kids who speak only Cantonese at home and they all grew up without a language barrier with their families.

The more bizzare a thing is, the less mysterious it proves to be.

People who emigrated from HK when they were very young / born abroad whose parents speaks Chinese (not necessarily Cantonese). 2nd generation Chinese whose family speaks more than one language, friends from around the globe with their own mother tongues. Ethnically Chinese does not necessarily equates to culturally Chinese.

That is why it is important to find an IS that suits the family. Glad to know kids who speak only Cantonese at home and grow up without cross culture barrier. May i know which IS? That's the type native Cantonese speakers should look for.
