SIS good？

回覆 LCP2018 的帖子

The bilingual environment of SIS is really good.

A place in SIS Kindergarten / Primary is very competitive.  

Better to bother if you would accept SIS's offer after SIS has offered your child a seat.

I think there are only 3 truly bilingual (Mandarin Chinese and English) schools in HK and SIS is one of them.

想學到普通話同英文～ 又唔想填鴨教育～ 開心愉快學習～所以考慮下sis 會否合適....

你首先要解決自己的矛盾。你真正欣賞的是那一個學制，課程和畢業生有甚麽特質令你欣賞。

選定學制，就不要再現階段質疑微小的事情，如夠唔夠功課，夠唔夠嚴格，夠唔夠中文課。。。。

煩惱because you need to decide whether to accept an offer? Or are you still deciding whether to apply at all?

If latter- I agree with some previous comments that there is no need to “worry” at this point.

買個電話，買部電腦，也要自己研究下，别人不能話比你聽你欣賞甚麽，喜歡甚麽，不喜歡甚麽。

I am not talking about dict definition, I am taking about practical educational definition. Is it IB Language A?    A level first language, or just fluency because being native speaking does not say anything about writing and reading abilities.

I think one cannot define “native speaker” by exam results.An illiterate English guy is still a native speaker, while a Local school Eng A IB taker even with full mark is still not a native speaker. I believe many kids with local Chinese background attending International school, who speak Chinese at home since small (key point is to start as small as possible), can achieve native speaker level in both languages.
However the other is referring to “proficiency in reading and writing both languages”,which SIS is one of the choice.

我盡力幫樓主啦。我想問你是新手媽媽? 是幼稚園嗎?

我當年係照顧同教育小朋友時，同好多媽媽分享，係佢地概對話中，我發現佢地用一種我地舊時Pizzahut整沙律概心態。

我要英文，普通話，數學叻等等，要8級小提琴，識游水。大部都係把一個個技能加上去。想整到個沙律越高越好。

而整個小朋友概時間，就變得超繁忙，而個沙律整到最高時，就出現問題，成個散晒，你會點? 呢盤沙律唔食得。

所以我自己係小朋友教育上，我自己不太鼓勵小朋友太繁忙，希望佢係心靈上打好個根基，佢乜野都唔洗學，只要學習一種能力，那就是知識概整合力，而不是英文，普通話，或地埋本身。

這也是西方教育概重點，而當你明左，就唔會擔心小朋友唔識普通話，原因佢會識得係一間大學度學，呢一間叫做，社會大學。

無論係國際學校或本地學校，東方或西方，小朋友所學概知識只佔社會大學萬份之一。而好多家長把入到大公司搵食為終點，但其實那是一個起點。

你小朋友不會因為在國際學校不懂普通話而搵唔到食，但很多懂普通話但無知識整合力概人，搵到工但係保唔到份工。

純分享。

Even "proficient" is ambiguous.  The other parent was saying SIS was one of the 3 "true" bilingual school.I asked what is true bilinugal, the answer was "native". But native is notoriously difficult to define.

So the original statement 3 schools are "truly" bilingual is still ambiguous.No one can determine for themselves if the statement is reasonable or not.

I do not understand what’s wrong with asking others for their view and opinions?

if someone tells me he likes iphone and I will ask the reasons. It doesn’t mean I will choose iPhone but I find it helpful to know why others  like iPhone and I can all these into account when I choose my phone.
