有冇睇昨晚 tvb 的 <星期日檔案>？
節目講話有幾個長者去讀大學，
片段中提到，年輕學生都是怕發問的，怕舉手發表的。

國際學校同本地學校，唔係只係中文多少的問題，
而係整個教育模式都不同，
要講分別，講半日都講唔完，
只著眼中文程度，似乎忽略了國際學校比本地學校強的其他方面。

其實，一般人話國際學校唔好的，講黎講去，都係個幾個 point：中文差，discipline 差。
但係我又唔覺得 local school 學生的中文都好，
反而普遍都係中英文都唔掂，這點其實傳媒都講無數次；
至於 discipline，印象中，問題學生都來自 local school，有 d 甚至係名校生；
搭多 d mtr，亦會發現頑劣的學生都係 local school 學生，國際學校學生同常都係一書在手，靜靜地站在一旁 。

其實如果大家諗法唔同，真係冇謂再傾落去，
講真，要講，我都可以講番幾十個 point 話 local school 點唔好，
不過，大家做朋友，做親戚，見面開開心心就好喇，
在 bk，大家討論下國際學校同 local school 無問題，
但係同朋友親戚傾，遇著 d 特別鍾意同人 argue 的人，
就會沒完沒了，講得幾講傷感情真係無謂。

而且，有 d 人係鍾意批評其他人，
佢係要話你，你就算揀 local school 都有得話，
local school 都有好多種，
有 d 係免費津貼學校，有 d 係直資學校要比錢，
有 d 係傳統名校，有 d 係普普通通的地區學校，
到時，可能你揀的那一類學校，都係話唔好。

講番話學中文，我都同意作為中國人，點都要識 d 中文，
但係學到乜野程度先為之夠，真係個個唔同諗法。
我爺爺係文人，我個太太公係進士，
我記得細個時爺爺好好心機教我唐詩，
佢話佢自己好細個就會作詩，
如果以我爺爺的 "要求"，我估香港冇一間學校的中文水平合格。
語文方面，我自己就希望重點放在英文。

如果讀到中學先轉國際學校，即使係讀開名校 ( 香港的本地小學，好少係全英語教學的，即使係名校，都唔係間間係全英語授課 ) ，英語水平始終唔夠應付國際學校的全英語教學。除了英語水平，學生能唔能夠適應學習模式都係一個問題。

最後，都要睇人地有冇位，要入國際學校，都係 p1 最易入，如果 p1 唔入，中間想插班，要等人地有人退學先有位騰出；到有位，你又未必考到；因此唔好咁老定，以為小學唔入，可以中學入，人地唔係話時時有位等你入。

孩子係你的，我覺得你有權選擇你認為係好的學校，
至於孩子將來係龍係鳳，就要睇佢自己能力，努力，同造化。

barnie, Govinda, fleet,
After people around me knew that I will change my kid from local kinder to CAIS, most of them kept saying words that really discourage me :cry: They told me CAIS students are naughty, rude and non-disciplinary, they said I will regret and I am wasting money to send my kid to CAIS. To be honest, my husband is the one who refuse most to take our kid to IS, he will not pay any school fee if I let my kid joining CAIS, that means I have to put all my income in the tuition & other fees of CAIS myself. I personally like CAIS a lot but I found no one supporting me, that really makes me frustrated......I dunno, that's why I need advice of you guys, I really need real comment from the "real" parents of CAIS, I really hope that I will not make a wrong decision for my kid.

barnie,
I really appreciate your comment, thank you very much for your reply and I really feel better after reading it. Would you please let me know the cost of any after school activity arranged by CAIS(if any),
Besides, do we need to arrange own lunch for the child in primary school? Since the school fee is again increased this year, it is such a high cost to me (since I have to pay all myself without any help of my husband), is CAIS increasing the school fee every year? if not, how many years will they increase every time in the past and how much (10% every time?)
Thank you so much

我唔係 cais 家長，不過我覺得 cais 唔錯，可以放心。
我覺得有好多人根本係國際學校，就話學生 discipline 唔好，冇實例，冇根據，總之國際學校就係差。

事實係，好多人根本對國際學校有敵意，
原因係乜，唔駛講得咁白。

其實我地唔駛人地話我地的孩子乖唔乖，
大家有眼睇，我之前都講過，
根本出面好多好曳的孩子都唔係國際學校學生，
搭多 d mtr，大家都會見到。

不過，如果係你同丈夫有分歧，
的確要認真再考慮，
都唔係淨係學費問題，
如果佢真係好反對，你又堅持，對大家感情都有影響，
或者你諗下，可以點樣改變佢對國際學校的睇法啦。

I do not agree that IS students are rude or have no discipline. This accusation is too general and there is no solid proof or grounds.
On the other hand, I notice that many local school students are behaving poorly. Do not take my words. Like Nintendo said, go and take the MTR and see for yourself. Many local school primary school kids are just spoilt brats. They push people and fight for seats. The moms? They obviously think their kids are smart. And you call that polite? Over my dead body.
IS is just another breed of sour grapes in Hong Kong.
I just think that we do not even have to respond to those comments.

旻旻&思思,

Other than the school fee, we dont need to pay extra money, it includes all the textbook, exercise book, year book and stationeries, except for uniform you have to buy for yourself.

After school activities organized by the outsider is optional. They have basketball, football, dancing, karate, drama, etc... I cannot remember how much it cost.

You can bring your own lunch or order from the school, it costs about $20+ per meal.

School fee probably increased every year, again I cannot remember the range, but it increased almost 30% from Grade 5 to Grade 6 as Grade 6 will be treated as junior high school. If my memory did not fail me. It increased from $54000/yr to $79,xxx per year.

I suggest you have to compromise with your husband before sending your kid to IS as this is a long journey for your family, if your husband is not happy with your arrangement, it will definitely spoil your relationship with him, it is not worth.

Creative is another choice, they are in between the IS and the traditional school, some of my friends also send their kids study there, but the school fee is more or less the same as IS.

Hi Barnie,

I'm new here. What is Creative? Me too, want to send my dautghter to IS, but my husband doesn't want to. His point is that he wants my daughter to learn chinese and can apply local university. If my girl goews to IS, her chinese won't be that good and can't apply local U. He wants to send my daughter to 啟基書院 at Kowloon Tong if my daughter is not doing well in local primary school.

junmom,

Creative seems = 啟基, but I'm not sure if they are the same school, I know they have a campus near to Fa Huen.

For your information, IS students can apply for local U except Chinese University unless they have good Chinese standard.

barnie | 2007-04-10 22:59
