(星島日報報道)國際普通中學教育文憑試（IGCSE）日前放榜，創校十一年的保良局蔡繼有學校今年第三年有學生應試，共取得五百八十一個A，包括二百九十七個A*，比例較去年多近五成。其中五十五人考獲六科A或以上，五人考獲十一科A或A*佳績，成為狀元。有考獲佳績的尖子勉勵成績欠佳的學生，發掘個人長處，加以發展。

　　保良局蔡繼有學校今年有一百零五名學生應考IGCSE，應考人數較去年多二十七人，平均每人報考九科或以上，及格率達百分百。其中五十五人考獲六科A或以上，五人考獲十一科A或A*，成績較去年理想。該校昨日向成績優異學生頒發獎學金，主禮的保良局主席兼屬校校監鄭錦鐘指，該局一直投放資源，協助學生發掘及提升潛能。

　　考獲十一科A*的「狀元王」楊翠茵（圖右）感謝學校及同學的鼓勵，又指「每位成功學生的背後，都一定會有默默支持他們的家人。」以十科A*佳績獲頒獎學金的王正菩（圖左）則認為，同學間的互愛令學習更見愉快，「考試期間，我們會分享溫習材料，互相關心。」她勉勵成績欠理想的學生，「每人都有其長處，大家定能於各自擅長的範疇發光發亮。」

个个都有番甘上下, 要拿1st honor, 要依靠综合能力和个人意志, 有否想过何谓'轻舟已过万重山'.  博甘尽的, 通常是二线演员局多.

怪不得朋友女儿轻轻失手DSSE, 阿妈好心催促阿女入读CU medicine, 稳稳阵阵啊!  点知阿女到今日(19号) 重要怪阿妈,唔帮佢博到尽,奋身报HKU medicine, 佢觉得去CU 是有点失败, 当不上人上人吧!!!  如此思维能力, 真是浪费大学学位了!!!!!

以上是真人真事,  真是高不可攀!!!

More related to EQ and self-esteem......
It takes time and family support.

Bobby 好心提议大家: 可能真係要伸長條頸向井外看一下.

书本可以慢慢读, 几时读都唔会迟!

随着年龄, 人生情绪走向是EQ 平稳或向下, 自尊就向上不停站的标升................阿爸阿妈多爱她也是心结难解.  性格已定, 命格难改..

fanfanbb  Annie, 我真係通过补习,找到一个一流老公. hahaha雖然是計策之外

在EK 内, 补习补到个好老公的, 还有好几位, 是现代板的,

书中自有黄金屋, 书中自有顏如玉............

从前的几位老板的太太也是他们的补习学生呢, 果然是近水楼台先得月....

看来小女是原全搅错方向, 去教细路仔,賺钱买花戴, 我应该投资番少少, 四处揾高材生帮佢补习才是正路呢!

我是計策之外的 - but I am grateful

Want to share the parents' guide attached to today's SCMP -
"As parents, our success should not be judged on how much money we make, how hard we work, or our social status - it should be the quality time we spend with our children"

A recent study found that children with sibling and better-educated parents tend to be less happy than their peers.  It could be related to the increased pressure on the children to live up their parents' higher expectation.

Hence, parents need to be aware of their children's academic abilities and set their expectations accordingly.

I will keep this article to remind myself in the future.

Thank you for sharing. fanfanbb!!

One day my friend's daughter reported that there was episode happened at the restaurant.  There's another waitress working at the same place, wrongly billed a table in the sum of  total HK$180.-  as dining fee for three persons (the correct one was HK$180 per person).  She gave sympathy to her colleague, and complaining those customers were dishonest and disgraceful.  In case she was at the shoes, she would be honest enough to tell the truth, and will never never walk away like this.     


两位妈妈的结论是: 我们的孩子未经过贫苦洗礼, 讲话可以大声兼理壮, 因为她们的生活是afford 得起有余.  唔多明白世界艰难困苦.  看似有点操守, 却跟真正有情操的, 相差极远.

Thank you for sharing. fanfanbb!!

I think your friend's daughter is correct in complaining about the dishonesty of the 3 customers. The chance is that these 3 customer must have known they were charged incorrectly (HK$60 per person for a total of HK$540 worth of food - no way!). They chose to say nothing was indeed disgraceful. If they had been financially stretched, they probably wouldn't (and shouldn't) have ordered as much.  To me, they really had no excuse.

As to the 2 mom's conclusion of 唔多明白世界艱難困苦 etc., I think it's a description more appropriate for the 3 customers.  They were either outright dishonest or they had no empathy.  As you said, 唔多明白世界艱難困苦 is also a big problem. For the rich kids, even if they try to put themselves in other's shoes, they still might not see the significance of a short fall of HK$360.  To them, HK$360 might mean nothing and it's just a story that they could boast to their friends.  But they forgot that the waitress might have to make up the difference which might mean a lot to those who struggle to make ends meet.

Sadly, nowadays it seems that kids are no longer taught 量入為出 (don't order or buy something you can't afford), 食咗(或衰咗)要認, 同理心, 做事要小心(尤其是錢銀上), 不能求求其其 ...........

Why are ib results so bad when igcse results appear good? Does it mean igcse is bad match with ib diploma or many good students left just after completing igcse?

MYP is probably a better match for IB Diploma. But is IGCSE a bad match? I don't think so or at least running IGCSE doesn't necessaily lead to poor results in IB Diploma.  Many other international schools in HK are adopting this combination and they don't seem to have a big problem.

Did many good students leave just after IGCSE and hence it led to a drop in the standard?  Only insiders could tell.


Of course, there could be many other possibilities.  Could it be that the school or the teachers haven't quite grasped the correct or best approach to IB Diploma?  Could it be that the teachers and/or students were not fully prepared for IB Diploma?  Could it be that .......................  But whatever the reason, the school needs to identify the problem as soon as possible.


By the way, I think the school needs to publicly announce its IB Diploma result as soon as possible.  Announcing one exam result (especially a good one) but withholding another (which is rumoured to be bad) is not a good practice.  If it is in the process of appealing against the results, it should say so.

CKY - My colleague is having her daughter to participate in the coming IB exam.  She told this year was the school's first time for the IB exam, the school don't have much experience.  Also only 14 students were taking the IB exam this year, many students (with good academic results) left for other schools which with more IB experience.

Good IGSCE results mean CKY will get much better IB results if they manage to keep their best people in the IBDP years.

When u study the figure carefully, u will find cky result is not that high especially compare with other IS. Just a figure game. Last year cky result isnot outstanding indeed, just PR effect by zooming out that only one pupil perfermance. My view.

I have a feeling that IGCSE and IB Diploma are 2 different animals.  IGCSE requires a lot of rote learning and having a good memory would be extremely helpful.   On the other hand,  IB Diploma requires students to be inquisitive, to think and to do research etc.  They may require different skills and that's why schools must prepare their students for the change well beforehand.  As an analogy, swimmers who are good at breatstroke only do not necessarily do equally well in freestyle unless they undergo proper freestyle training.  Please correct me if I am wrong.

Anyway, I heard it's common to see schools which are new to IB do not do as well in the first few years.  Results will improve gradually as they get the hang of it.

It would be better if the schools can publish tables showing numbers of different grades they got for each subject like some uk schools do. Then we can have a full picture of how well the school is doing
