Re: 安排子女入讀國際學校的原因
Yes, I agree w/ much w/ stccmc. The biggest reason why I put my son in IS is the culture and value. I don't like the culture and value of local schools that "results is every thing" while disregard how painful and tricky (just memorizing all the books without really understand/appreciate) is the process. Of course, there are still values from IS that we don't agree, e.g. too much freedom, too little discipline, which are quite unacceptable to us Chinese. Then I think it's the parents' job to balance that and give our kids the "correct" values.
Of course, nothing is perfect, there are always goods and bads, pros and cons. However, value is very fundamential thing that we should consider when we choose the school for our kid.
"Good English" or "High proportion of foreigners" is definitely not my top consideration factor in choosing IS.stccmc 寫道:
//I think what I like to say is, joining IS is not just because of its English environment, culture is also an important aspect to consider.//
I think this is a key consideration. No one will say that schools have nothing to do with moral training and do not contribute to the formation of ones character. If parents do not fully appreciate western culture and values, think twice before sending your children to an IS. As to what are western culture and values, there is no clear cut answer.
Coming back to the topic, better English alone is never a very good reason. |
