我在耀中國際學校的日子(中學)

EASTCOAST

我睇佢嘅介紹，係考IB，冇講過AS。

疑点重重:
1)選校重点是交通。學费，師資次要。
2)學中文，非常重要。
3)好老師是有能力耐力把拿D的學生，推動成為拿A的學生，而非一味笑骑骑。
4)這裡的家長曾分享DSE的英文科，可能比IGCSE的2nd language English難，如果是，會否留在本地中學讀英文好些。
5)自己的英文差，不大懂聽囗音。但一定不會相信英国sales的話，而相信自己的發音很ok.

I also read this in her first post 我IGCSE: ACB(中英數)CCCC

Remember she received offers into all these IS as a straight A student in a good traditional primary school. Getting C in IGCSE and choosing English B is something that happened "in the future" at the time of secondary enrollment.

I do have a few questions though:
1) Honestly speaking, beside location reasons, are there any other factors that affected your decision to not choose CIS? [nature of the curriculum, student mix etc.?]
2) I heard that UK universities actually favour GCSE over IB. As a student who targeted UK universities and completed your degree there, do you think that is true? Did your IGCSE background gave you an edge over other applicants?
3) You have graduated from Uni for 6-7 years now, how is your career path doing so far, and how do you think your education at YCIS benefited you in the work place?

Many thanks for your willingness to share with us here! Deeply appreciate it!

單看事實，IGCSE英文C，和選Eng 2nd language去考卷，係較難接受。

還有是IGCSE的 English as a second language

人地好似冇講到Eng B嘅成績喎，乜GCSE 成績C好差咩？

若IGCSE英文as first language攞C是ok, 但as 2nd language, 對IS學生來講攞C又似乎低咗d。

Interesting how everyone is obsessed with a school choice decision almost 20 years ago. Let's not forget, all these schools were quite different back then as well. Aside from generating incessant arguments, is there any relevance to today?

I am sure it is in her mind and to be fair, YCIS IB results and university placement are decent? Her credibility as an authority on school choice, however, ...... I do commend her for pitching in to help and drum up some interest for the school

The choice of Yew Chung over CIS back in 1998 was not too unreasonable. Yew Chung had very good reputation at that time, and CIS was not that famous as compared with today. When I decided whether to switch my boy from Yew Chung to CIS seven years ago, in fact I struggled for a few days. Of course, I don't have regret changing to CIS. But I want to share my view that "NO SCHOOL IS PERFECT". In most cases we cannot find a perfect match too. The student and parents concerned may need to "adjust" themselves for the school.
I still recommend Yew Chung to many people (over CIS), especially when the child is not too tough, too hardworking, very intelligent and aggressive (in fact, students with these qualities can do extremely well in Yew Chung). At upper secondary, some students show signs of anxiety and depression. School pressure and peer pressure really play a role in fostering these symptoms. I think at Yew Chung, the pastoral care program is good in taking care of these cases(correct me if I am wrong).

I believe every student can have his/her own pace of learning in Yew Chung, and feel satisfied with the learning.  However, this state of satisfaction to students and parents may not be achieved easily in other schools.

That's a very fair comment! Too many are too inclined toward "famous" or top of the tops and neglect the suitability.

耀中怎样, 楼主成绩怎样? 真的不关我的事, 只是楼主的分享,虽然十分坦白,却 就是没有国际学校学生的味道, 感觉是非常不真实了.

十年人士几番新, 上年代的国际学校学生就是这样的吗?

今天的家长口说'没要求'是骗人的, 大拿拿交十几万学费一年嘛, (部分是几十万一年), 只是各人的要求有别(乌托邦) 而已.楼主的分享, 让人觉得如果找不着十分合适的国际中学, 那便应该让孩子留在本地正规中学好了. 始终是能考得本地的AAAA, 是毫不容易了.

I hope you can take it easy.  I don't think any of us is malicious. BTW, a lot of parents wants to know the decision process in choosing the school.

And the fact that YC turned a straight A student into having a "average" IGCSE student.  I know we cannot compare directly but people have that feeling.  What is your view?
