香港李寶椿聯合世界書院的現況如何？
有沒有在讀學生或家長分享一下：
1.語文老師（中、英文）老師的教學？ ...
我係N年前舊生，不過都識人近年喺LPC畢業，我盡量答下。好耐冇打過咁多中文，有錯請見諒。
1. 非常好。語文科老師全部都係IB資深考官，全部都有碩士-博士學位。有幾位更加係幫IB國際組織設計課程嘅顧問。
2. 非常好。我當年係讀History。當年我得著最大嘅就係喺LPC讀文科。思考、寫作、分析嘅能力都改善咗好多，上到大學覺得去到 ~year 3 先開始有少少挑戰性。同世界各地嘅同學傾計，大家嘅家庭好似都經歷過我地curriculum教嘅歷史，開闊眼界，視野真係會唔同。
3. 理科就好depend on老師。因為學校太多活動（課外、寄宿），根本唔夠時間教曬成個 IB curriculum。呢個係LPC嘅死症。改完schedule都係冇用。理科一定要expect有自學能力。如果跟唔上，老師都有心幫同學嘅。好多本地同學星期六日都會去補習。
4. 多年嚟好似都係 under-predict 學生。通常出嚟嘅成績會比 predicted grade 高 1-2 分。我當年都係咁。
5. 好玩得嘅又有，好認真讀書嘅都有。唔係本地外地嘅問題，係性格同將來目標嘅問題。我識好多入 Ivy/Oxbridge/MBBS/MBChB 嘅人都係讀得又玩得。講求嘅係個人自制、balance。
6. 同上。如果有specific啲嘅問題我可以再補充。
7. 所有背景出身嘅人入到LPC都要適應。始終係極度國際化嘅寄宿環境，第二度根本搵唔到類似嘅經驗。而且大家某程度上都要適應IBDP嘅壓力。
8. 你係指報大學寫 Personal statement 之類？好多都係靠自己。當年想去美國，尤其係報 Ivy League 嘅本地/內地同學都興搵留學顧問。不過依家網上都有好多advice。
9. 近年確實係走下坡，冇當年會考年代神校咁勁。但一樣係提供到香港其他地方完全搵唔到嘅經驗。至今依然感謝LPC俾到自由度我搵到自己嘅興趣。
10. 當然。
我再簡略覆下你提到嘅壞處。好多批評我都唔知來龍去脈。我自己當然都偏心。有specific啲嘅問題我可以再答。
“外籍學生對本地有些少歧視” - 我覺得係調返轉就真，哈哈。
“Canteen食物差” - 睇日子啦。我好多年冇食過，但當年真係覺得OK，尤其係中餐。
“家長的email學校從不回覆” - 學校每個學期都會 send report 俾家長，家長有問題都可以 email 學校。但LPC老師多數都係對學生負責任，冇乜興趣同家長溝通。可能要透過 administration 先 email 到。
“管理層是極權主義，學生同家長no say” - 學生嘅角度嚟講，我覺得當年我16-17歲佢地已經俾咗好大嘅自由度我。我當年嘅經驗係學生一直都有say，家長一向都冇say。
“學校對學生的well being ( mental health and physical health) 莫不關心” - 我自己係行內人，覺得當年係唔夠mental health support。IB、寄宿、人際關係、課外活動、申請大學嘅壓力加埋真係可以好壓抑。
“近年裝修，少收了本地的拿獎學金的學生，多收了付全費的內地人” - 我當年幾位內地同學都係攞獎學金。確實近年係多咗俾全費嘅學生，但唔知咩國籍。
“現在本地生都不能週末回家，要晚上趕回宿舍” - 好多年嚟都係咁。如果週末本地生可以返屋企，某程度上對外地生心理唔係咁好受。當年我會約屋企人食 lunch。
呢度有條 link，係90年代加拿大Pearson UWC畢業生寫嘅。我同佢嘅取態差唔多。以下節錄：
"Now, the UWCs aren’t for everyone, and a few students don’t have great experiences. I’ve heard lately that sometimes the academic pressure can be high, and students can spend too much time studying and worrying about getting into prestigious universities. I heard of some who had to adjust from being the best and brightest in their schools to being one of many. A few people, for whatever reasons, might not fit in. And of course, students won’t be immune from life: an unlucky incident of some sort, a bad (or good) relationship that might take over their lives from regular UWC life, mental health issues. Introverts may find it exhausting to be living with roommates and to be around so many people ALL THE TIME.
But the selection committees do try to select kids with resilience as well as talent, so I hope and expect your daughter to be fine… and wish her all the best … and hope that you share this with her ... But looking back, it was my most important formative experience, one that I will always be grateful for, and that really did make me into the person I am today."
