Little 858's mammy, don't be upset regarding the best or not the best;1st hand or 2nd hand offer.  The most important is little 858 could enjoy a happy childhood and happy school life.  Don't put too much pressure on yourself and your family.  Life would be happier if you appreciated that you've got half glass of water.  Good luck!

Your RC waiting list letter say so???

Mine only mentions though your kid has been successful in interview, they cannot offer a place at the moment due to "large no. Of successful applicants who have higher priority."

This only applies to RC and DC but not other ESF schools.
SJS uses random number within the same priority group.

Though the content of the letter is really unimportant ....

Still have chance when u are on waiting list !!

Did you call RC to get this information?

I have also wonder how RC rank the kids interviewed. My child is in ESF kinder and got interviewed with a very bright and smart kid of his class. They were both put on waitlist. But some of their classmates interviewed in another group had offer. So I wonder maybe some interviewers are more demanding or set higher standards to assess the kids. Afterall, they were interviewed in different groups with different interviewers.

Everyone here is trying to give support to each other and to stay positive, while your lovely wife has been blaming your son as "useless" and talked about "second-hand offer" which, to be honest, doesn't really help with the situation but more to create discouraging atmosphere to those who still have hope...

Perhaps it is the education system that is to blame. When I applied for K1 for my son at local kindies, I just applied for few schools with the belief that I should not waste time in schools that are my second choices (he has backup offer). Yet I feel so frustrated after receiving all the waitlist / rejection letters too.
And by then I knew that most parents in HK will apply for multiple schools and get multiple offers, simply because if they don't apply, they will end up with no offer, just like me.
It's the rule of the game.
Given this experience, I now kept my mind open for options. We will apply for multiple schools in Year 1 and if he can't get into any, we will just let him study in local schools. It's his fate and his choice!
I believe not only ESF schools are good schools. But if you still want to wait, I guess your chance is quite high.
Be open to options after you have gone through your frustations, and make wise choices for your child and your family.

Really hope you put things in perspective in the end.
It's the way the game is played as a parent said above, everyone goes for more than one school because we all can't afford not to, and as more than one parent said above it is all a matter of luck. If the random number is not a factor of luck, I don't know what is !  
Getting an offer on waiting list is not 'second rate', as the reality is reality dictates that for us to have more chances of ONE eventual offer we must apply for more than one school, since we can only go to one school in the end, there will always be 'rejection' of offers which is not a rejection of the school and that does not mean a waitlisted spot is second rate.

Personally I am worried about you because of your choice of words.. 'he should kill himself' :( We know you are hurting and I know this is online, but seeing so many suicides on the news in the past week or so makes me very uncomfortable.


Hopefully you can call a friend up and have a good chat. :)
