RJSM,
Yes...IS are very materialistic nowadays...many of them only care about making money, or very good at using your money to help them make money!

她的同學明年不是說要轉往其他國際學校就是說要到外國讀書. 有些說是不想考IGCSE, 有些說是就是覺得這學校很'廢'.
囡囡大部份的同學都不喜歡學校只顧'呃錢', 覺得在這學校錢是萬能的, 老師與學生關係又冷淡. 總之都沒有太大歸屬感.

現在我都不知該怎麼樣了, 想為囡囡轉往其他國際學校又怕要求太高, 難考進, 畢竟囡囡英文方面都比不上國際學校的學生.Quote:

Why her classmates always ask her to change to another school? This is very strange!

When I visited YC's secondary school sometimes ago, I also found that the students seems very boring and demotivated during their lessons. The nos. per class is in fact very small, so the caring for each student should be very good. Besides, they have a lot of specialists and consultants taking care of the students. So why is the morale so low? ?-(

kamandaddy,
請問妳介意說出囡囡幾年級嗎?我的囡囡現讀yr.7.
聽完學校咁多負面野,攪到我都好擔心!!
我都驚考其他IS會有難度.!!

其實囡囡說7年級的學生都沒有什麼大問題, 反而相比下7年級的學生最放膽說英文, 而且都能夠和其他同學打成一片, 所以我想都不用太擔心.
反而囡囡打聽到8年級到10年級學生流失最多, 很多成績好的學生都走了, 只剩下小部份成績較好的學生, 這是比較令人擔心的. 相信你也不難發現10年級以後是越來越少學生.

至於囡囡讀幾年級, 已pm了你

Dear all,

My child is also studying YC. To sum up the hot discussion, no matter you feel the school is good or bad, the difference is originated from your expectation. As school fee is expensive, naturally, you expect more from school. You expect your children have a happy learning process or a good academic reselt. If possible, I expect both, but the world is not so perfect.

From my opinion, the school's function should create a learning environment for the children. I expect the child to learn how to learn. Knowledge (its learning and its application) come from the world, not solely from the school. If the child can be motivated in school (or at home), he should be a good learner. From the above discussion, I realized that there may be some problems in classroom management and communication problem in YC. That's just a lesson to teach your children (and you) to manage those "communication" problems. Your children can learn from you how to tackle the problem. Remember, our children stay in school about 7 hours per day and 5 days per week. Other than school-time, our children stay with us. It means that our children has more chance to learn from us.

Concerning the public examination result, I feel that university admission rate and result of public examination is meaningless to our clildren. Its just a statistical result. For a school, 75% university admission rate means that there are 75 out of 100 students can admit to university. But for our child, it is all or none rule (it is impossible to admit 75% of my child to university). How much our children learn and how successful they are, is not solely related to examination result. Social skill, skill to handle one's emotion, skill to communicate with others and tackle the problem is far more important for personal success.

Concerning the great difference in standard of students in the same class, it is unavoidable in very school. Concerning curriculum, we cannot compare the Chinese standard of YC to mainstream school. We cannot compare IB curriculum with HKCEE or GCE curriculum. It is unfair. Each has its own strength and shortcoming. If anybody can find a school that is good in every aspect and in every subjects, please let me know.

Lastly, we cannot expect too much from school, although school fee is expensive. It should be the source of disappointment.

I hope all our children has a good learning experience, if possible, with a good result.

THX kamandaddy ,
為何你會說反而越低年級會越放膽說英文呢?難道不是越高年級,所學的英語會越多,越有信心講嗎? :-?
kamandaddy | 2006-09-26 23:20
囡囡只是新生, 所以都搞不明白, 可能7年級大多數從小學部升上來吧, 但她經常都聽到是7年級的學生在校園或assembly中最踴躍以英語發言. 她又說校園內8成學生都是說廣東話的, 而且上課時以英文交流的機會並不多, 上課時同學之間都是用廣東話的, 除非對方是外國人.

What a funny theory.......If you don't want to be disappointed, simply stop query and expecting and you will be happy with what you've got from the school. All public exam results and U entrance statistics are nonsense.........The school will love to have that kind of parents.

"Don't Say, Just Pay", perhaps that's what the school management really wants to proclaim at heart.

Yes, agree with Smartdaddy. If we can pay such high school fee of Yew Chung, there are in fact a lot of choices of higher quality IS. How come "don't expect too much from school though school fee is expensive"???

Now ESF has opened Renaissance College and will open Discovery Bay Private Independent School soon in 2007, we can have more choices over Yew Chung which offer high quality education at a more reasonable fee.
