擔心

yungyungmama

本人的女兒今年有幸考入DGJS一年級, 本來應該很開心, 但是我家只是來自一個非常普通的家庭,我與先生都是打工, 職位普通. 我很擔心我的女兒不能識應, 請問像我來自普通家庭的DGJS家長, 你們的女兒有否與同學比較, 學校生活是否開心?

yungyungmama,

我諗唔使担心，係大人先會去理人地富不富貴，小朋友通常很單純。

恭喜你的囡囡!!  
既然你與先生為囡囡選擇報考DGJS,現在還擔心什麼呢?學校不是用來給家長誰比誰有財勢,是給小朋友學習的地方,還有也不要常掛在口邊來自什麼"普通家庭",家庭只要健康快樂,又可須與人比較呢?請放心吧 :wink:  :wink:   

yungyungmama

我也明白不需要與人比較, 我盡量用平常心去教我的女.

yungyungmama,

我以為小朋友在同儕間的確要有自信心，但自信並不需建基在豐厚的家景，只要屋企無唔見得光的嘢已經OK!

yungyungmama,
                       恭喜你呀，只要你 的女兒用心努力讀書，跟其他DGJS的小朋友有何不同？你要去比較....學術成績好了！

況且人人都傳這間學校要這要那才可以入到, 現在你女兒真正是靠自己的實力進入, 証明她很掂. 所以不用太擔心. 要對自己有信心, 更加要對你個女有信心 ^_^

primary school students don't usually care about other family backgrounds eg parents' job, where do you live, etc. Even if i know my classmates were children of rich families, celebrities, university lectures, doctors, or came from not so rich families, the kids wont' think of too much, at least not of their age. They like to play with everyone, apart from those very snobbish kids. So, it's the snob who have to worry.

我認為無需要擔心, 不論是甚麼名小學, 又不是小學一間, 如果你作為父母都話擔心, 你的孩子又會感染到你的擔心, 我相信她都不會在DGS讀得開心. Be relaxed 啦!

Agree with all the moms.  Kids are very simple, they become complicated only if parents are very brand concious or materialistic.  My girl at P.3 tells me that she only discuss with her classmates what and how to play, very simple, always very happy.

I believe the most important thing is that parents should act as a good model for the kids, let them know that parents have been working very hard to support them, it is not easy to earn money, so they need to work hard on their study as well.

I agree. DGJS is just like other 名小學, 又不是小學一間? other 名小學 also has very rich and not so rich families. they also have very smart kids, not just DGJS. Most important is don't put  too much pressure on your kid. You too should relax and let her be happy. Kids are very simple.

Dear yungyungma,

Congratulations!!

It is really encouraging news for the commons. You know, a lot of rumors saying that famous schools always look for students with good family and sound financial backgrounds. Now, your case is another valid proof that such schools will also admit children with the right potentials and capabilities.

I can understand your worries. However, like what the other parents here say, pressure comes from the parents themselves and not from the children. The children are very pure and simple minded. They do not bother to compare with the other kids. So, take it easy. Sit back. Remember, if the parents feel relaxed, so will their kids.

BTW, would you mind sharing with us here how to prepare for the interview? How to train your girl? Any special ECAs? Which kindergarten does your girl come from? What is your girl's personality? What is her English level? I want to get some insights from you to get prepared for my boy.

Take care,
Vanilla

多謝各位BK Mom 的鼓勵, 我會努力

其實我沒有特別為她考某一間學校而準備. 不過我由K2開始, 教她日常環繞我們身邊的事物, 因為考小一入學試時, 有很多學校也會問一些圍繞小朋友身邊的事情. 致於我個女性格比較淡定, 不是一個很 outgoing 的人, 但常常笑臉迎人.

yungyungmama,



你真的不用擔心。
我個仔都有個同學女，和你們一樣無特別關係，同是今年9月會入讀dgjs 小一。這位同學也是斯文淡定醒目類型。她媽媽和你一樣，知道穫取錄後有些擔心 - 程度，小朋友間會否比較家境等各問題。有些朋友勸她想清楚是否應放棄九龍塘聖家派位，但亦有朋友覺得既然取錄就應該去註冊照讀，結果她選擇去dgjs註冊放棄派位。

亦可以告訴你，dgjs現任校長本身是dgs一條龍的畢業生(kg (多年前已停辦) --> primary school --> secondary school)，當時入學並非靠家底或關係。

希望你不要聽坊間的rumours而卻步或過慮。
是讀得上的，自然會讀得上。

Dear yungyungmama,

Would you mind telling me which kinder is your girl attending now? How is the English level of your girl?

English is not tested in the P1 interview. However, as far as I know, there is an English test for new P1 girls (before Sep each year) after they are admitted. If the girl's English level is not so satisfactory, the school will meet the parents so that the girl can catch up with the standard during the summer vacation.

Vanilla.

名校有時會有一些活動需要另外一些錢, 如遊學團(不是屋村學校的郊外旅行), 樂器班, 慈善晚飯等等, 唔通個學生樣樣都唔參加嗎? 在班裏會有peer group pressure 的.
不過入得私校的, 都唔會月入幾千啦, 但這些小費都要預備好啊

聞聽董建華的孫女今年小一 (不知是否留班)；何鴻燊的細女今年九月會入學。 不過除了少數猛人外，大部份家長也不過是普通人家吧﹗

DGS高手雲集。我想我會擔心小朋友可不可以跟上進度，多於是否比別人富貴；擔心小朋友因包尾多過無家底而自卑呢﹗
