想比亞仔讀國際學校,,但係自己英文水平唔係咁好,,好煩惱!

Dear stccmc and all,

Just some more practical information, hope they are useful for parents who are struggling between Int'l and local school.

If you are worry about the influence of Western Culture, you can research the school annual report. Take SJS as an example, I don't see many western faces in the class, just maybe 5-6 per class, the rest are all Asian faces. I wonder the Western has to worry about the Asian influence.

I also believe that most of the parent when firstly consider int'l school is targeting at good English, however sooner or later when they learn more about Int'l and local schools, they love the teaching philipsophy in int'l school. Me is one of the examples. I pick it simply because I like it, not because of it is Western or Asian.

Finally, hope all parents are able to have the best for their kids.

其實話題真的偏離了這個 topic：『二想比亞仔讀國際學校,,但係自己英文水平唔係咁好,,好煩惱!』

這裡大部份家長都是選擇將子女放入國際學校讀書的，家長當中的英文水平有高、中、低的。
不如請那些自問英文水平低，而又有子女正在國際學校讀書的朋友講下他們遇到的問題和解決方法吧！

(我也有二個例子，遲點我post上來供大家參考！)

總之一句講曬有錢冇負擔就講嘜都得, 如果冇錢又很多負擔, 有邊唔想發達中六合彩喎!

請問英文講得流利與品格有直接關係嗎？說英文、讀國際學校就等於沒有中國人的價值觀和道德？外國人的價值觀比不上中國人？我反覺得中國人的價值觀大多著眼於金錢，讀書求成績而非求學問，家長追捧名校、借地址、通宵排隊、安排無數興趣班，為了什麼？我覺得很多香港人總愛把發達、中六合彩掛在口邊，把金錢看得很重。反觀外國人不太追求名牌，重視家庭溝通，待子女好像朋友般，給他們自由地發展他們的興趣。外國人的價值觀也不是一無是處啊！我相信家長為子女選擇國際學校大多是對香港填鴨式的教育制度失去信心，讓子女有愉快的校院生活，也希望擴闊他們的視野，而不是單單為了英文的。我認為教導子女道德和價值觀，家庭教育更為重要，而不是取決於讀國際學校抑或讀傳統學校。

我又唔信妳中左六合彩會捐曬d錢出去呀, 其實我唔係想係度同妳嗌交, 只不過睇唔過眼, 妳講到d香港人咁不是, 咁! 妳禁祟洋不如唔好係香港, 移民去外國, 嘜冇眼屎乾淨盲蠻囖!!!!!

Agree wtih SYMAMAI3.  I appreciate the method of western people they take to bring up their offsprings instead of putting much load on them.  I have recently read a book named "素质教育在美国" which is available in bookstore like joint publishing.
If interest, go to see an astract info from the author as below:

我讚同 Annie 123 的說法, 我中學時有些同學爸媽也是從大陸來,  他們連字也不懂, 莫說英文, 什麼通告也不懂看, 但那些同學在學校沒有甚麼大問題,我見有些同學會兼棄他們的父母, 但有很多也不介意, 我很欣賞那些住在北角的福建同學, 他們和父母講福建話, 食的東西也和廣東人不同,文化亦有點不一樣, 他們非常接受或尊重父母的文化,還為福建人的團結而感自豪, 當然他們亦吸收了香港人的文化.

當然這與中西文化的差別不可相題並論, 但我相信關鍵在於小朋友的性格和本質,最重要是他們和父母的感情,我相信放多些時間和他們溝通,和他們講中文,灌輸多些中國文化,民族意識,我相信問題不大, 你和小孩關係好,什麼也肯和你分享,包括學校的生活和他們的睇法,如果父母吾放多些時間在小孩身上,讀什麼結果也一樣, 你英文有幾好都唔知他在校做甚麼.

Dear Parents,

I think we have to learn how to accept people's different point of view and demostate it to our next generation.

I agreed with Annie 123, hongkeelong and karseese.

Every parent has their own choice and if it is believed to be the best choice, then try the best no matter what.  I do believe that every one has his/her own background and reason to make the choice, we get to respect it and not attacking it.

Hope I don't make people unhappy but I think discussion should be carried on positively and constructively.
