My son is at CDNIS G3 at the moment. To be honest, if you look for homework, they really don’t hav ...

That’s pretty much the same workload as my daughter’s school, I think it’s quite appropriate.
Talking about homework load, the Asian parents always expect more while the westerners want less.
When I talk to a local school parent, she told me her school is very relaxed since they got roughly 3 HW daily at Y1 only, but that sounds a lot to me indeed LOL.
We have only 3 HW per week from middle primary, and the most time consuming HW is usually chinese HW.

Yes. We are in G1. The school opened last week. Just not so academic. No any homework.

與妳相比，自己算是前輩媽媽吧。曾經也遇到類似的dilemma，特別是收到其他waiting學校的offer時，必然思考孩子能否獲得更佳的教育機會，這些不是貪心，不是虎媽，只是作為年輕媽媽普遍性惶恐而已。


有人話某校課程編排特好，有人話某校學習進度快又深，有人話某校學質素就是高。坦白講，所謂的好，深，高，在香港老牌國際學校的小學階段，是沒有甚麼意義的。真正對IS小學有心徳的過來人（意指我的睿智朋友們），終極體會：其實綜合水平是差不多，孩子喜歡學校，喜歡上學，足矣！

小學階段要學的是，喜愛閱讀，喜愛學習，習慣自律，保持純真，身心健康；高小和中學，可以學得好快⋯跑得一騎絕塵⋯⋯⋯

老師要求嚴謹是本地教育先有?難道國際學校出名鬆散/隨意/?
鬆散/隨意系國際學校特色?
或者請你解釋下?

你說的太好了，我確實這麼想，kellett比cdnis學術一些，我朋友發我他們year2也經常有功課，數學比cdnis深了很多，所以有些心動

多年前申請小女入讀IS,是個很急促突然的決定。基本上香港區九成傳統IS也参觀過,申請過。自己和外子也特別鐘愛Kellete,可惜當時year one 無位,然後又誤打誤撞,入了另一間很滿意的IS.

Kellete是根正苗紅的英式教育,英籍欧籍學生比例高,校風和課程亦嚴謹,家長同學十分友愛。囡囡小學同學也有轉讀Kellete的,據觀察,Kellete小學生綜合水平,跟其他IS,並無明顯分別。

「根正苗紅」呢個詞語可以咁用㗎咩?

My older child is at Kellett. The curriculum is more structural compared to IB. I think your child’s characteristics matter more when you make the choice. My older one is a bit quiet.

CDNIS is very top among the IB schools. Don’t have to worry about their academic outcome.

This is really a fair and objective point. My son is G1 student in CDNIS. As existing parents, we can see the changes in these few years since my son started in Reception. For early years, there were no homework, assignment or any requests about academic from school. The comments from teacher is mainly on personality development and social skills. Honestly it is also very important for a kid. In the past, it might be a bit "hea" in primary while I can see the change. My son needs to read both English and Chinese books everyday and he also has Chinese dictation every week. Schoolmanagement do listen parents’ suggestions and opinion. Think deeply, the changeis not easy but structurally – from syllabus, teaching materials, assessmentguidelines and the transition to next year. I cannot say it’s a perfect school butno school is perfect. It’s subject to your expectation. At least, my son lovesgoing to school everyday and is happy with the school, teachers and his schoolmates.
