Could someone share state boarding school experience? Do the boarders have activities at weekends?St ...
我個人認為,諗都唔好諗。
英國人基本上:
- 有錢又buy寄宿嘅,會送去寄宿私校
- 有錢唔buy寄宿嘅,一係讀私立day school,一係搬去好區入最好嘅state day school
- 冇錢又想寄宿嘅,嘗試考好啲申請私校bursary
- 冇錢唔諗寄宿嘅,咪讀附近嘅state school,或者考附近嘅grammar school
state school(無論係comprehensive或者grammar)始終係政府學校,所有設施/維修/選擇都要等政府錢。我諗呢個世界上(可能除咗北歐之外),冇咩政府會撥足夠資源俾所有嘅state school。學校以至此,何況重要maintain寄宿設施?我就聽過好多case係啲設施爛咗要等政府錢先維修到,有啲活動/甚至選科開開下因為唔夠經費停辦...

Shaftesbury School’s boarding provision, Barton Hill House, has seen a terminal decline in numbers over recent years resulting in a huge financial strain on the school. Following a public consultation earlier this summer, our proposal to close the boarding house went to the Southwest Advisory Board this week. Having reviewed all the feedback, and financial information, they agreed with our proposal, and made the difficult decision to close the boarding provision.
I was checking the top few schools the other day. The entry grades are quite high, the min requirement is like 38 points for best 5 subjects, 68 points for best 8 subjects etc.
Their a level result is very good. Must be really hard to get in.
我可分享一些經驗,阿仔讀成績算top嘅grammar school boarding,阿女就係私校寄宿,所以都可比較一下兩者之間分別。grammar school boarding 設施一定唔及私校靚,基本設備有嘅,但簡陋,資源唔多,課外活動基本嘢有囉,但weekend唔會好似私校咁安排晒多元化嘅活動,私校有專人洗熨執床,阿仔就要自己做,始終一分錢一分貨。仔嘅學校老師質素參差,當然我覺得私校都一樣,老師嘅嘢大家明啦,就算香港名校都好多hea教老師(emoji)至於校規我覺得state school較私校寛鬆,校風的確私校較佳,就算阿仔間grammar school成績算好,但學生背景唔及私校優勝,食煙打架都有。
