朋友想讀國際學校,一來不平,二來多名人和有錢孩子,小朋友對不上容易自尊心受損,所以放棄了...講錯勿插 ...

就算讀平民學校，都會有人家庭環境比自己好
我覺得要教仔女正確價值觀

其實而家已經不同我地讀書時代，好多如英基和一些學費較平的國際學校好多學生都來自普通中產家庭（住大型屋村平常去茶餐廳那種，不是半山那種中上家庭），近年由其英基開了2間在新界的幼稚園後，來自基層的更越來越多。你想像那種同學都是富二代的只在少數貴族國際學校才會。

當然，你入漢基, 弘立，HKIS等又另當別論。

Yes, I agree it will be the case several years later. For the time being, it appears to me that employers would be more flexible on your Chinese language if you are from Ivies or Oxbridge.

Interesting articles from the point of a University professor in Hong kong on different types of university students coming from different backgrounds:

Although I clicked the links, the articles are too small to be read.

Thanks for your sharing. My both kids switched to international schools after they completed primary school in Hong Kong.

I note from my son's recommendation written by his counsellor:

Among Justin's greatest strengths are his contribution to the learning environment and his commitment to improving learning for his peers. His teachers consistently evalutate that Justin is the first to assist his peers in gaining understanding of the material and adds to the class discussion to a deeper levels of understanding the issues raised. ......"

Maybe it is the characteristic of an international school student the Professors mention.

Shootastar,

There is a "Magnifying Glass" icon on the lower left corner.  Click on it, and the page becomes one page and larger.  It might still be kind of small, but easier to read.  You can also click the "full page" (also in the lower left corner) icon to see if it gets even larger.  I am still trying to figure it out how to enlarge the type print.  If I am successful, will share in this forum.

I think being willing to share with other students comes from partly 1) inborn characteristics of the child; 2) instilling the sharing spirit by the parents, and 3) encouragement and enforcement in the school environment.

Due to the nature of the exam/test score ranking system in most Hong Kong traditional schools, I can't imagine students there are encouraged to share with other students.  Imagine, when the child is in Grade 6 getting into secondary school.  Who gets in and who cannot get in is only a matter of a fraction of a point.  Why would any parents encourage their kids to share?  Sad, but that is the reality.   I guess that is one of the reasons I put my kid into an international school.  Don't want to see my kid becoming an uncaring person.  I personally benefited a lot from other students helping me while I was in university in the US.  In fact, that is one of the major reasons I think the US is such a technologically advanced country - people are willing to share.  But that is a whole different topic worthy of discussion on its own.

Thank you for your sharing. After your prompt that I should click the magnifying glass at the left bottom corner, I could read the message and gave you the response.

I personally returned from the UK so my kid can learn chinese. English I find is so much easier to learn than chinese. You can learn english or catch up on it when you are older as HK gives you a foundation in it. My plan is let him learn enough chinese to cope with work in the future, then consider going back to the UK for either sixth form studies or uni.

Hi, manstap,
I was wondering if you could share with me how you can extract the articles from the Skypost.  Thanks in advance.

Another interesting article by an Economics Professor at the HKUST about 補習社.  July 25, Wednesday

Thanks for sharing.

I think there is no harm to engage private tuition to explore the subjects in details but I think it may have counter-effect if you rely on them to train you for the purposes of taking the SAT, Tofle or like examinations.
