That's very fair comment. YC basically accepts any child. 有教無類. The interview for kindergarten i ...

Interesting enough, we did apply for YC but they didn't even give us an interview! I'm not sure if it is because our profile doesn't fit them, or that they don't have many spots at the K1 level (we applied for the age 3 year group, two years ahead, but from what I know the kids there usually starts from PN or even earlier).

It is true that YC 幼教 is very good, especially for local families as they cater the program for Chinese speaking kids to acquire 兩文三語 in a well structured, age appropriate manner. Their only fault is being too good, that by upper primary the good ones are snatched up by the top IS which put their resources in enhancing their secondary education for university entrance purposes.


I do respect those kids who did well but stayed in YC all the way though. Perhaps those rare Oxbridge YC kids are the homebred ones that didn't leave?

催收錢是香港人做生意辦事方式。
其實不用催，不交錢就失去學位，由下一個在 waiting list 的頂上，冇 waiting list ？怕乜？現在學位短決，遲早有人來申請。由學位放空幾星期囉，又唔係等錢駛
耀中的問題，是 typical 家族生意，想得到更多正面評價，先要請多幾個外人做領導，改改謍運模式。

I don't feel YC kindergarten administration is money minded. Though the school fee is more expensive than some other Kowloon Tong famous kindergartens, YC school fee is all inclusive. There are not many other charge items during the year. No separate fee for snacks (The students have much variety for snacks, sometimes congee, sometimes macaroni...) No separate fee for outings and picnic. It is better than some other kindergartens that ask for $100 extra for each picnic, another $200 for Christmas parties...

CIS cars cause annoyance to all the occupants of Braemar Hill. It is very true. All the stakeholders of CIS are well aware of this fact, and they feel regretful for this issue too.
The traffic issue becomes the main topic of many of the headmaster's circulars and updates. A task force comprising teachers, students and parents was set up to cope with it. They persuade parents to use car pools, make use of school buses. Parent patrol volunteers show up in the morning to help speed up the drop off time, restrict the drop off time to 5-10 seconds, bringing the children being dropped off some metres away from the main entrance. The situation has improved a bit in these 2 years.

It is difficult to improve further because:
1. Braemar Hill is a one-way up hill and down hill location. All the students come to school using the same road. The only way to improve is to increase the number of passengers in each vehicle
2. It's difficult to persuade parents to use school buses and public transport when a certain percentage of parents already hired a driver at home.

The IS in Tai Tam has the rule that all students MUST take the school bus unless they are walking to school. It does the community a world of wonders. My son's school is also considering it as well, just hope if enough parents vouch for it, the impossible really can happen. So far, it's just that one school that has this rule...

如果說yc primary school 因為太好而學生被其他is 搶收，學生唔願入yc中學，咁yc 中學校長教師都應該炒魷魚。

耀中小學入學時，有要求我們簽通告，不是走路回校，就要坐校巴，否則要放棄學位。我囡因此坐校巴，阻塞附近的耀中家長會是幼稚園部的嗎？還是總有違規者？這我就不知道。

Some primary students chose to leave YC after primay school graduation due to the not so good reputation of YC (partly contributed by EK, haha). This batch of students are mostly academically more able ones, leaving to other "better" IS, or overseas boarding schools. The vacancies are replaced by less academically able newly admitted ones in secondary section, with not so good English. Due to this dilution process, the home grown students (which didn't plan to leave) will choose to leave now, leaving a small percentage of home grown students remain there at year 12-13. And this small batch of students still include some very smart ones who can go Ivies.

( 與香港的很多基本核心價値大相逕庭，小朋友成長過程一旦耳濡目染，後果真不堪設想)  想知多少少，是怎樣 ...

要講就真係馨竹難書, 隨便講幾件事，絕對第一身, 感受良深。


事件一： 囝有個來自四川同學，小四插班入嚟，囝同佢都幾friend, 我見佢都幾乖，讀書唔差運動又叻，所以都樂意比囝同佢玩埋一齊。有日佢媽嚟接放學，見親面都好nice咁同我打招呼，我就跟喺後面，有個和尚化緣咁，行埋佢媽度，點知未等和尚開聲，佢媽突然大喝一聲：" 滾開！"，成條街嘅人都嚇咗一跳，而佢個囝就喺旁邊冷笑，留露出不悄的笑容。我心諗，和尚都係人唧，駛唔駛咁惡呀！


事件二： 都兩年前，囝重係小四升小五，上暑期興趣班, 同學着咗一半係新移民。有日我遲咗接放學，佢喺地鐵出口街度喊住等我。我話唔好意思呀仔遲到咗，點知佢指住街邊跪喺度嘅乞衣婆話：剛才佢唔小心踼到個乞衣兜，佢就執番埋去比番個乞衣婆，重講對唔住，點知比班大陸同學取笑，話香港行乞不是犯法的嗎？好似我囝犯咗法咁。我同囝講，社會上畢竟有些人是很不幸的，應予同情，點知幾日後，個囝話佢班大陸同學重笑緊佢，話個乞衣婆係自由行假扮㗎！從此以後，我覺得個囝冇以前咁好心。


重有一件重震撼，得閒先寫埋佢。

同学是否是内地的無関、和尚同乞衣我都極道討厭、多得Ｄ自由人。　「和尚都係人唧，駛唔駛咁惡呀！」我地香港人吾熟国情、覚得小事、可能這位四川大媽、有着不同感受。　正如不是住上水的、不会明白水貨客問題架！！

這兩件事只好道出祖國的可悲，1.所有東西都是假的，除了騙子，2.不要做好心幫人，只會自討苦吃。
小朋友年紀小小已經深明此道。

我估因為班新移民在內地見多咗見慣咗，行乞個D往往利用人們的善心

在大陸，扶起跌倒的老人，都可以搞到自己一身蟻，賠錢惹官非。國情如此，好難怪，好人難做。

係呀，同學仔只是符合國情，只是你班外國人太天真，真不想孩子在這樣的世界長大，希望香港不要咁快同化啦。

要講「天真」，同西方國家比香港還差很遠。
Human rights, equality, compassion, curtesy... Issues from 'foreign forces' that our Central government finds annoying. Trying taking a bus in Discovery bay carrying a baby and do the same in Sham Shui Po; you'd find the stark difference.

The point of finding an IB based International school for some parents do include having a child grow up in a surrounding where such virtues are part of the school culture.
