Well, the decision to send one's child to an international school is accompanied by a set of expecta ...

True. Everyone has certain expectation. Even 姨媽姑姐 has sets of expectation but we can't please them all.
Of course I have my own expectations when I send my child to a school. The way I see it is that I have done the best I could, gave her the "best" education my means allow, provided her with mentoring as parents. The rest is just fate.  With this in mind I can go easy on her and on myself if there is mismatch in expectations.

But I agree parent should factor in the cultural side of things when choosing a school.

中庸之道未必是最好也未必適合different kids and parents，有人喜歡採用此道而我自己就不喜歡。

Any reason ?

回覆 4eyesDad 的帖子

認識幾個Spcc和女拔的舊生，都把小朋友送返母校，但吾係熟，吾知道小朋友讀成點。

舊生而且去了外國讀大學的，他們可能有不同看法。

如果入到SPCC or DGS, 我一定入。唔適合至去IS.  

以SPCC 同DG 的水平，轉IS 未聽過有人失手。

我認識有此校小學生考IS 有問題啊!

I have said every parent has to define what is the best education for their children.  I don't think there is anything fundamentally wrong if a parent choose traditional values over western values, or vice versa. Or like you, prefer something in the middle.  It is a choice parents have to make.

明白。有些道理，亦有點 textbook answer 的味道！對新派學校的看法，我跟你差不多看法！


教育不單是選學校的模式及理念，還有學校管理層，就算選lS都有不同特點及差異。不便點出，你我心中有數。

家庭及家長對教育的看法及配套亦好重要。

當初選傳統(不是名校)，而棄 lS，是一種取捨，然後自己做一些 mix and match 未必一定不好，可能有意外收穫。我不說得太死，因為還要時間引證！看多幾年才作定論。

任何一個多元化開放的地方總可容納不同本性不同理念不同思維的各式各類的人 ...

It is true that HK is still a relatively open and international city today, but in which direction is it heading towards? I don't think there is much doubt in this regard, it will only become more and more like China :)

> 俾得孩子讀IS，就要預左培育一個有獨立思考能力、敢於發聲的Global Citizen, 而並非一個因遁久安的順民

Thats my point exactly, an IS education is more than just different teaching style and curriculum, it will also mould our children's character, so parents must be aware of the social consequences of being 敢於發聲 in a Chinese society.

這個世界outspoken係咪一定出事，吾一定。但做鹌鹑，真係無出頭。

I think Fat daddy's point is relevant only within a family. If a Chiu Chow traditional family wanting an obedient child chooses an International school, not knowing the likely character development and outspokenness, it could be a disaster.

其實如果全香港的學校, 包括國際和直私都劃一免費, 相信大眾對國際/直私/官津的看法都會很不一樣。

睇我們的偉大領袖，自己名校畢業，都送仔女去is. 就知點解。

偉大領袖's children don't live in HK, and probably won't be spending most of their lives in a Chinese society, that is probably 偉大領袖's plan for his children. One of them did come back and tried to make an impact recently but that didn't work out very well. Being outspoken and rebellious didn't seem to have helped her much :)

其實好多高官都送仔女入is, 教育局高官都送，我想大部分平民如我都唔使問理由，跟大隊就可以。
