唉，當年 YEAR ONE 入唔到，好失望，但等了年半有位。讀落覺得其實 ESF 有好多問題咯，呢度有ESF 家長提出 ...

講真，走出來讚的人，我相信是真心覺得學校好才出來讚，否則為什麼要讚呢？如果讚就是fans，其實你的意思是指那些家長盲目嗎？但其實每所學校都會有讀得不開心的家長或學生，也當然會有讀得開心和滿意的家長和學生吧！如果學校符合家長的期望，在論壇抒發一下自己的感受又何吹噓之有呢？
無意引起爭端，論壇也只是抒發自己意見，也看看別人的意見，交流一下吧！

其實從report card 都知道老師係知學生的進度。但佢唔似得本地學校咁哦你，可能因為咁，如果家長唔跟據repo ...

認同你所說的。如果家長緊張子女，老師是十分歡迎家長去約時間就report card去跟他們面談的。從面談中，老師也會提出一些怎樣在家幫肋學生改善弱項的建議。當然，有很多家長(尤其外籍的)，不會太緊張report card的grading，而學校的作風也是不會捉你去正視的。所以，都好睇家長對子女的學業關注程度。

This is so true, and not just in ESF but all IS. I was already staying away from applying to the localized/asian styled IS such as ISF & SIS, where parents pushed the teachers to give their kids more homework and the teachers complied. Even for the school my child is in, some parents are giving their children more 'help' then they really need.

I talked to some parents and they were so worried about their Grade 6 kids doing group projects where they need to find, research and present their own topics.They claimed that this is impossible, and that parents in higher grades too believes their kids need help in doing their projects. I was going like, what? I was doing research projects like these all by myself (no group) in grade 7 as well back home  (abroad) in a public school, and there was no help whatsoever from the parents; of course it was possible to do a group research project in grade 6 and parental involvement is not needed at all... And those parents were impress with how i was raised? They grew up in prestigious local schools here, and hence the culture shock.

I think many parents who grew up in the local system has such worries. If they are raising their kids in US, Canada, UK or Auz, they would have no problem letting go as that'd be the norm there. Given we are still on HK soil, however, sometimes i find that it is the parents that has "identity crisis" and not sure what they have signed up for. Unfortunately, it is not just their own kids they are affecting.

Jolalee, can't agree more. It's the problem of Asian parents not the schools.

According to the parents, when they studied high school in hong kong (sorry I have no exposure), it's basically memorizing and regurgitating to the teacher the syllabus that was taught. I wonder how much that would affect the way the LS bought-up parents raise their IS kids....

True. They are more concerned with "content" rather than "process" of learning. I was locally raised and then went overseas, and so know both systems.

相信在此comments的也不須吹噓或抺黑Esf.esf這麼多學校老師，各位有不同經歷不出奇。說esf像UK state school 我不敢comment, 我只讀過UK boarding school, 我可以說小兒校的老師比我以前的老師不差只有更好，課程方面我留意到學校也跟好多UK national curriculum. 所以這Esf school 我滿意了，至於能否考到好成績入好大學，我認為要靠學生本人。只要肯勤力，有追求學問的心，肯吸收課程以外的知識，我信一定會考得好，也不須補習。想當年，在英國讀書哪有補習？又冇Internet,靠的是勤力和死纏瀾打的心。
所以我覺得兒子的esf school 很好。
一些真例子：我朋友女兒沒補習，IGCSE 7A1B, 一位British mum 告訴我她兩個兒子沒補習，IGCSE 也9A或以上，一個明年去UK 讀medicine. 他同學有一個等Harvard, 另一個等princeton答覆。

今天家長要的，不是信唔信得過，而是要「肯定」，「保證」，「不能有任何差錯」。

以上的IGCSE成績, 一般家長已經覺得很好，另一些家長覺得「危危乎」，老早反枱了。估計正確是7A*+1B, 9A*+。

每次公開試，成績好固然選擇多，選擇后又是新挑戰，「得」與「得不到」陸續有來，無人可以保證甚麼（家長能夠保持財政穩定已是託福了）。最終真正「得」的孩子，就是有能力拾回失去的東西的人。

My daughter is studying in ESF. She loves the school and teachers. Agreed with others that if you wants to have more home work. ESF would not be your cup of time. I did a parent education degree in HK university few years ago. Most of my schoolmates are from education or social work background. Most of them encouraged me to choose ESF and I don't think it is a wrong choice so far. Having said that not all children are suitable for ESF. A parent shall be able to choose the school best to his/her child(ren)

Totally agree!  In US private high school that i graduated from, together with the other Hong Kong students ( there are only 8 hk students)  hired a local NET t as private tutor to provide additional English lessons outside of normal school schedule.  In Australia where i did my degree,  a lot or pretty much all Chinese /Asian hired private tutor at home or go to tutoring schools. I agreed that's the issue with Asian parents their lacking of confidence tend to believe doing more copy practice or extra exercise would help. but they always complain schools or others pressurize on them and their kids to do these to catch up

Some Hong Kong parents 已走火入魔了？

還記得讓孩子愉快學習的家長們，你們的價值和追求，就是一種示範，讓其他心情很混亂的家長們，停一停，想一想，可以怎樣！
