Hi Play,
why do you have to bother other people's judgement? it is not your relatives/friends' decision but yours.
In my opinion, studying IS is not about the kids' Chinese/English profici ...

| IS--- I only trust CIS , HKIS and German Swiss... they're the TRUE IS... Reason 1. well- connected Alumni... this will help a lot when you kids grow up.. making friends or having connections worldwide! Reason 2 ( MOST IMPORTANT REASON) Well- connected academic advisors... you need them when your kids are ready for good college (aka.. univ). this is why you want your kid to go to IS ar... Don't be mistaken by English la... or Chinese la.. ...Language is only secondary... this is what Local schools cannot give you!!!!! Yes, they're too expensive and If I cannot afford, my kids will go to Local school lor! it's just that simple! I will not have my kids go to some school with 2 or 3 "westerners or Indians" and all Chinese students there reading "Next" Magazine outside classroom.. and calling themselves IS school! Every parents want the best for their kids... if you can't give the best, give the 2nd best lor-- local school. |

| You sound racist and discriminative to the other IS. I think most IS parents are looking for happy learning environment for their kids rather than the 'materialistic' reason of making connections with rich people and foreigners. Sorry I can't agree with you. Ruby Quote: katyfok 寫道: IS--- I only trust CIS , HKIS and German Swiss... they're the TRUE IS...

| Ruby, I am with you. I want my child to be connected with honest and upright people, irresective of race and financial wealth. I will not clap with ecstasy over my child knowing the grandchildren of Li Ka Shing or any other tycoons. I will be very sad if my child sees friendship and connection in a utilitarian way. Kycmc |

| I always agree with Ruby1219. :-D :-D Quote: Ruby1219 寫道: MarcusD, Hey I totally agree with you. I also think the best gift I can give my son is good and happy education and I plan NOT to give him a flat or a big bulk of money (at least I think so now, and also becos' I probably can't afford it. haha). I do believe that once he's well educated, with positive and 'correct' life attitude, he would be able to earn a good living by himself. Sometimes, kids will just abuse what their parents can give them and they tend to become lazy (kind of human instinct). My parents did not give me anyways when I was young. Not even subsidizing or helping my education. I had to earn my school fee since F. 6. But I did learn a lot from this experience. At least I know that I myself, am responsible for my own life. I believe that once I'm grown up, my parents responsibility on me has finished. I hope my kid will understand this as well. Ruby1219 寫道: You sound racist and discriminative to the other IS.

| 昨日有朋友對老公講IS唔得。原因︰ 1) 貴，尤其要去外國讀大學 2) 有人讀讀下都轉返 Local school. 3) 等等.................... 我對老公說讀IS的好處，希望不會錯吧！！Quote: 丫頭 寫道: 今日又有人走黎同我講您對b讀完中學諗住點? 我話跟住上大學囉, 佢又話:咁您又話可能唔夠錢比佢地去外國讀大學? 我話係HK讀大學都得者, 佢話IS學生好難係HK讀大學因為銜接唔到 :wth: 我話銜接唔到係乜意思? 佢話即係追唔上, HK大學未必收8-) 我話佢聽我個家庭醫生不知有多少個同學都係由IS出來的.

| Maybe I'll put all my kids into IS if I can afford it!!!! Then hire Chinese teachers to focus more on Chinese (as it's at least as important as Eng)!!! |
