Dear parents,

One more thing to share. At one time, my son said to me he want to be a painter, imagine how will you respond? I said it may be a good idea but you need to know how to communicate with different countries artist to capture their skill so you need to read and learn more. What I want to say is never imposing our value and judgement although we feel it may not be a good choice to earn a stable living. I feel some parent although they select CKY but still they preset a rigid guide for their kids to go that I personally not feel comfortable.

Thanks,

Hi, father_ho,

thanks for your feedbacks, totally got your points. yes, the CKY education mode is another way of training to the kids and they'll be bearing some competences other than those of trained by the traditional ways. I appreciate it and also appreciate the initiatives and creative thinkings of those studied overseas in my team.

yes, working in a cooperation, each team got different calibres and we need to manage the work and people in order to deliver and achieve. However, some "abnormal behaviour" from one or two of them really "broaden" my "eyesight". They simple jump to another topic in the middle of my 5 mins briefing, this is just a briefing of what the project is and that deliverables we need. I'm not someone interested in holding subordinates' hands to work on the tasks but I do believe they need to listen carefully on the briefing and requirement, pls don't go back to the senior and ask again and again on those already told.

Anyway, this is just some special case of my teammembers and might only due to her special characters, we do have "well-behave" overseas graduates, they do have good lateral and creative thinkings and also with beautiful minds, I mean, good personalities.

In fact, the longer I worked in a business world, the more i discovered that interpersonal skills and project / people management skills are demonstrating a much more important role. Whilst those skills will be well-established from the active-based learning model plus appropriate guidance from parents.

thanks again and take care.
keep in touch.

Hi father_ho,

Thanks for your sharing and feedback time and again.

I think you mean we should be more open minded and let our child develop in their own pace/way, but keep watching them and guide them as and when appropriate. The concept I understand, but not easy to implement. We all have values, and have strong beliefs that they are good values. We love our kids and want them to have the right values. So, in our daily lives, we unavoidably will impose our own values on them.

I think it is a matter of extent, may be we should not make our values too dominant and over-riding. And open up our minds, eyes and ears when communicating with our kids, so that they are more willing to think and express, and we play a supportive role.

I agree with your other point that the training is different. Activity-based learners will have higher inclination to challenge status quo than traditionally trained individuals.

We should also think, what kind of qualities/trainings would enable our kids to have a competitive edge twenty years from now. We probably need a crystal ball to help us to be an all-round parent!!! :roll: :roll:

HI, joanneheungyy and father_ho,

fully understand your feelings.
Being the parents nowsdays in Hong Kong, to certain extents, we learnt to offer some degree of freehand to the kids in order to enhance their development. And, that's why we're interested in "activity-based learning" and we hope our kids can be benefited from this educational mode.
But, don't forget that we're still human beings and we'll try to influence or impose our kids in certain degree. How much the level of influence or shall we be putting it into instruction, it all depends on how rational we are.

When I see those "naugthy" teenagers' behaviours in public areas like hugging and kissing, escaping from classes but staying in restaurants for just playing, specking loud with foul languages,....I'm so scared. I also walked through teenage time myself, been always object to seniors' words, just walk whatever the way I prefer, dating with boys behind my parents. Luckily, I did not really ruined myself and still able to walk away from "naughty lifes" because some sorts of values / instructions imposed by my parents.

So, I'm still learning hard to figure out the way to guide my girl and yes, keep discussing with my hubby on the ultimate goal for my girl to achieve. At this point, I must put it as a project and work it out rationally. I never expect my girl to be a "perfect score" student, if she happens to be this material and could easily do it without any hardship, then, it's fine, but no need to "chase" marks just for the sick of chase marks. I only want her to be well-educated with beautiful minds, no matter what she want to be, but fundamental knowledge must be acquired and also the way of thinking, analysis, communication, presentation and management skills. Provided the goals set above, my hubby and myself should be the one who provide the "vehicles" to get to the goal.

Glad to know you all and chat in here.
take care.

Hi, joanneheungyy,

I think you'll definitely scold me or laugh very loudly in your office,... my girl is 13 months now,...hahaha,... but I'm very keen on the education plan for my girl, maybe due to she's my only kid and I'm such a person who always being involved and dedicated for whatever project I've committed.

Anyway, I enjoy this lesson of latest education systems in Hong Kong and how to nuture my girl accordingly. Thanks again for my "tutors".

Hope you alls won't mind in keep on chatting with me.

monkeymei,

Fully agree with what you said. Really see a lot of secondary school students badly behaved in public area. Heard a lot of cases that even very good kids can become very bad after going to secondary schools. So really feel difficult to find an active approach secondary school with good conduct. Even students of international schools have a lot of drug problems. CKY just starts her secondary years, not sure about the conduct of their teenagers who have used to looser discipline.

Well, you are in a much better position as your kid is so small!

Dear all CKY parents,

I also wonder whether the school will ask the parents to buy a new schoolbag if the child brings a school bag that's not pure blue. Please advise.

Dear All CKY parent,

May I know which BRAND of the school bag are you using for your kids?
I am planning to buy-Chiropak for my kid, but school told me that it must be whole bag in blue color. The Chiropak is blue and grey.

Am I need to buy from the uniform tailor? Is it the only way to do so. Please advice.

Thank you in advance
:adore:
