actually, i have repeated my story to many parents, i didn't like KM at all after the interview, teachers showed no heart and no smile and they were like basically like robot.

then my girl was very lucky to get an offer, my hb liked KM over the school we also got offer from, with some other reasons, we picked KM finally. it was totally another story after school started and when i knew more about the teachers, they cared my girl a lot, of of the teachers gave me advice to help my girl adjust to the new school, another one even reminded me it was the last day of school at KM of m girl and sent her blessings through fb, i'm very thankful that we had choosen KM for her.

i don't mean to convince you to "like" KM, but just want to show you interview and real school life is different, though it would be great if the teachers can be as caring and patient during the interview as well.

Sorry to jump in. But I really don't understand why so many parents use English as a media of communication at home to their kids? Are the parents all ABC or foreigner? I believe even though a person back from overseas but not growing up in an English speaking countries, the oral skill and accent will not be the same as foreigner, especially those go to study oversea after Form 3. If English speaking is a must at home, like mother or father is a foreigner is another story. If not, why? I would only teach my daughter when I hear she has a big grammatical error or she adds "la", "ar" at the end of sentence (like sometimes we talk to the PH maid, haha!). I'd rather leave teaching English to the school NET teacher or a tutor of my daughter who is a foreigner. [ 本帖最後由 icbb1230 於 10-11-14 23:46 編輯 ]

我只可以代表我自己答呢個問題~
作為早教媽媽, 我相信學習語言係有敏感期, 兩歲前學係最好嘅
作為父母, 我教所有我識同覺得啱嘅嘢, 所以我唔會亂講pth, 但係雖然我嘅英文口音唔係native嘅, 但係我相信語言係同嚟溝通嘅, 只要人人明白就得, 口音好係另外一個層次, 讀到純正口音係bonus, 讀唔到係唔會有外國人歧視 (只有自己人會歧視!)
另~ 基於bb响屋企對住工人時間長過對住我地, 所以為免學壞英文, 更加要同佢講多d英文!
唔通~ 作為父母, 覺得自己唔夠完美嘅嘢就唔教小朋友?! 咁仲駛教嘅?! 我要教小朋友能夠响我地生活嘅環境生存, 令佢認識同有能力應付四周接觸到嘅人/事/物

但係好慚愧講句: 雖然佢一年前應付到一個英文面試, 但係嚟緊嗰個.. 實在信心不大, 因為過去一年我有咗老二, 無心機教大仔太多嘢, 變相全力教中文, 可能學日文嘅時間仲多過學英文.. 但係小朋友嘅興趣成日變, 佢要捉住daddy學日文, 我地只可以~跟! (我先生都只係學咗日文4-5年, 相對英文, 日子尚淺~) [ 本帖最後由 kerkermui 於 10-11-14 23:01 編輯 ]

hi kerkermui,

I don't mean I don't teach or talk to my daughter in English, I read 1 English and 1 Chinese bedtime story to her every night. Of course, sometimes we do talk in English, but not all the time, English is not the only language of our family. Therefore, my daughter understands both English and Cantonese.

What I mean is if the kids can only understand English during interview, so it's meant he/she doesn't "receive" any Cantonese at home. Again, if 1 of the parents is a foreigner, I can fully understand. If not, why? Especially, sometimes I hear terrible English accent is spoken when I walk on the street, in restaurant, playground, etc. If a person speaks terrible English to a foreigner, I won't have any bad feeling, in reverse, I respect them very much and accent become a normal thing since he/she is not a foreigner or ABC. However, they are talking to their son/daughter who is Chinese! Why? I think both Cantonese and English should be a media of communication in Hong Kong.

I totally agree language learning should be started in very young age, we can let the kids watch English channel, listen and sing English song, play flash card, reading story book, attend English class, etc. BUT it's not necessarily only speak English to the kids.

If we are Chinese, speaking Cantonese to our kids, what's wrong?

另加: 中文唔駛由細學咩? 學好中文仲難過英文喎..... [ 本帖最後由 icbb1230 於 10-11-14 23:52 編輯 ]

I agree with icb1230. Not long ago, there was an article on SCMP stating the harm brough about by Chinese parents communicating with their children in English all the time. One of the reasons is that these parents may not be good at English and their vocabulary is also limited, so the children may not be able to learn well...Besides parents, kids also need to communicate with their relatives and even grand parents who are not English speaking, they will be unable to do so if they are not accustomed in speaking in Chinese.

講真...無話那种方式對或錯...每个家庭處境不同 , 其實我都想做到我同阿女講英文 , 而daddy就講廣東話 , 這样英文可早學 , 而又識廣東話....但無奈...星期一至五 , C佬都好忙 , 回家時阿女已睡覺 , 但我又不想時中時英 ...令阿覺得好亂 , 點都好啦 , 我會努力教番阿女中文 , 我有信心佢可以追到 , 好多小朋友兩歲都未識說話 .

話時話吖 , 上英文playgroup時 , 身边有很多家長向我講 , 佢哋小朋友未夠兩歲除了英文外 , 更上Spanish , French & PTH班 , 叫我也一齊join....但我也一一婉拒 , 我覺得咁細个仲要學父母也不曉的語言 , 在家或日常生活又接觸唔到 , 效益不會大 , 日後待小女大些 , 我才會鼓勵他多學外語.

我唔介意英文無正宗的accent , 語言係作溝通 , 得罪講句 , 就算做到特首 , 都不是說到像native speaker般 , 只要溝通到 , present到 , 係無問題. 講真就算香港人的中文也是一般 , 包括我自己.

以上只係我个人的意見 , 我唔係想反駁或辯護什么 , 只是分享一下而已 [ 本帖最後由 charlotte2008 於 10-11-15 00:34 編輯 ]

記得上年見N班, 當日太陽曬嘅慘況, 我恨不得立即走, 會見時老師表情不佳, 對劍嗚感覺非常差勁, 心裡抱怨非常, 但最後竟然收小兒就讀上午班, 由於我覺得小兒未來較自己感受更為重要, 所以讓他一試, 並計劃K1離開.
當小兒就讀時, 全校竟然出現另一番景象, 小兒上學放學時, 老師們笑容滿面, 親切迎人, 小兒很愛上學, 放學後亦很掂念老師, 在家很喜歡唱校歌, 現在小兒最愛的鳥類, 便是貓頭鷹了.
由於N不是直升, 我們逼不得已到處報考K班,
最近投考九龍塘另一私校面試時, 小兒表現活躍和主動, 形狀生果樣樣皆曉, 老師問: 橙橙點食架, 係咪就咁食架(連皮食?) 答: 唔得要切切.
老師再問: 蕉蕉點食架, 係咪就咁食架(連皮食?) 答: 唔得要搣搣. 最後小兒望住老師身後壁報板大聲講: 人字, 山字,日字……等, 老師回身知道小兒在認字, 便問小兒今星期所教的是什麼字? 小兒再答: 月字. 當離開時我才知面試地方是K2課室, 我知道如此比較中文已相距兩年了, 但我深信此校英文程度較佳.
我明白自己英文程度很差, 英文未必滿足得到小兒日後需要, 但至此, 小兒的表現, 作為家長又怎捨得離開這位貓頭鷹博士呢?
直至現在, 我和太太有個心願, 就是希望貓頭鷹繼續成為小兒的守護神!
這個小小經驗, 令我學懂好與壞, 不單只看表面, 有時理念和事物背後才是最重要!
祝樓主找到最心儀的學校!
