Seems that most parents are happy with the Chinese level in ESF. Can you tell a bit more about their ...

My Girl is from local school. Then get in to year 8 of ESF. She is classified as set 1 ( highest set among 3 sets). She told me that she found ESF has done a very good job of teaching Chinese. She has better writing skills now as the teacher really teach them how to write better ( which I think it is what ESF always do for English) she said many of her classmate Fromm ESF primary has very good Chinese. Even better than local school students. When I am talking about Chinese is an issue for her sister, she told I should not worry about it. I am surprised of what she told me.

我吾會太介意，我見過英語水平很高的Indian and Filipino 老師，例如Indian 老師寫的school report, 英語水平肯定好過很多local大學生，而且還是我女兒的啟蒙老師，非常了解小朋友的心理，超級有愛心，例如小朋友玩水的小水池水凍了，她不是叫小朋友走開不要玩，而是親自去廚房拿䁔水溝暖D水。雖然也見過一個半個英語一般的Filipino老師。不過我也聽見有家長批評老師不是白人，但我只是覺得佢地無知。

無知地歧視


第時點係外國讀書，唔通要係咁轉校。。。我讀high school and university , teachers, professors or doctors 係會有印度人，內地人 ，星加坡人，Romanian, 日本人 有口音，不過無得你揀因為要畢業。可能太 extreme 但係好多嘢由細開始。

我唔希望自己小朋友會介意老師個 race, she or he can be western but she/he can also be brown.

不過老實說小時候我希望小朋友接觸學習正統小小的口音，不論老師甚麼國籍只要口音不太明顯我覺得可以接受（小小口音可以的），其實咁多種英語口音我最怕廣東口音

每間學校都總有好與壞，大家唔認同我個view都唔駛咁大反應，其實揀學校呢樣野係各取所需同埋揀一間適合小朋友既學校，我無教小朋友種族歧視，老師質素都係我同爸爸既其中一個concern啫，大家唔好歪曲左或者諗多左我講既野，我咁講，係因為我仔係舊校既homeroom係菲律賓藉人士，而助教係印度藉人士，我都話助教英文比homeroom好，homeroom既野英文口音確實係令我地對小朋友學習同理解有點擔心而已，我唔係話所以菲律賓、印度藉老師都係咁，我只係講番我仔既經驗啫。因為我同爸爸試過出席家長日，分享會等等，亦親身同兩位老師溝通過，先有咁既comments同睇法，我都再講一次，係我仔呢兩位老師，唔係全部老師係咁。

無錯既係，我所見，佢舊校確實有不少呢兩個國藉既老師，但我無話過其他老師唔好喎。

如果你覺得我share我自己小朋友學習既view同感受係無知既，真係sorry, 呢個平台，就係用黎分享對不同學校既睇法。

Yes, its not bad, but depends on what you want only.

講緊批評老師唔係白人嗰啲家長 ,無知同歧視 ， 要國際化就覺得與白人相處就得, 你絕對唔係放心 ok ?

唔再評論 hehehe

andersmama

有d人根本唔睜大隻眼睇下人講咩，就理直氣壯咁黎批評人地。

咁你又試下，如果你小朋友比個咁既老師教會點囉！

minimirror

吓？ 點嘅老師呀？


唔明

torunpoland

我聽到我個仔的班主任有利物浦口音，咁點呀？助教顯然是紐卡素北方口音，同級另一老師是加拿大人⋯⋯咁我又係咪要擔心個仔學唔到RP? 其實都唔使怕，因為係一世都學唔到。

我好明白上面的家長andersmama的分享，我反覆看了這個post幾次，也不覺得那家長有種族歧視，人家只是以她/ ...

錯英文同口音係2件事,ESF有口音的老師很多，但他們的英文水平遠高過本地人，不用擔心。

其實小朋友學習能力好高，觀察力亦好強，我小朋友k3都聽得出明顯口音不同既好幾個國藉。家長加以講解都幫到小朋友。反而自己宜家大左，就好想自己識聽到多啲不同口音既英文，因為宜家同印度同事開會好大挑戰。

其實幾明白你意思。就好似自己以前上學由台灣人用英文授課，他的英文並非怎麼好，基本上沒幾個同學明白他說什麼。又好似家中菲傭，連he 同 she都無法分辨，這不是單純口音問題，而是根本英文不好。

I guess the beauty of the system in HK is that there are choices, and people can choose an alternative, no matter the reason.  For the parent that switched their child out of CAIS upthread, I trust that there are other reasons for the switch (desire for ESF, location, etc.) that she hasn't identified.  But at least for me, if the only reason she switched was because the teacher had an accent she was struggling to understand, that would be rather short-sighted, because as others have pointed out, there's no guarantee who your child's teacher will be the following year at any school.

What I really don't understand though is of the quality of the spoken English by the said Filipino teacher.  There's only a couple of them at the lower Primary campus, and I've spoken to all of them on multiple occasions, and I don't find any of their English accent to be to the point where it would be a struggle to understand.

But then, to each his/her own...

老師的膚色不是問題，主要是母語要是英語。幼稚園和小學是語言學習最佳時期，跟大學學習科目不同。如果家長不介意幼稚園或小學老師有菲律賓或印度口音，那麼又是否應該不介意有廣東口音呢？
