There is a lot of information in the Singapore International School discussion forum. You can check it out.

In short, the reason I choose SIS for my kids is that it is in between IS and local school. It is discipline and has a well structured curriculum (but flexible). Most of the kids have a high standard of Mandarin & English. One of the key factors is that it has the environment that the kids speak English & Mandarin naturally in their free time not just during the lesson.

Talking about spoon feed approach, you know there is not perfect school in the world. It all depends on how you prioritize your needs. As I said SIS is in between IS and local school. If you define the teaching mode is one way communication (teacher gives lecture) as spoon feed, SIS is not spoon feed type of education. Having said that SIS is not as free as other IS.

Local schools emphasizes on discipline, but only at school. Once students leave schools, they are soooooo "out of control". I saw boys+girls (in uniform), or boys+boys or girls+girls "play" crazily in streets. Therefore, it is not about IS or local school, but the 社會風氣 nowadays.

I believe in "因材施教". If the child is really active or even hyper, it is really harsh to put him/her in local school. As teachers there usually regard him/her as a problem child (not obedient at all, talkative or too energetic...). As a result, the child will hv low self-esteem, or even poor peer relationship (since other children may not want to approach him/her!!!!)

i was a teacher in local school b4. i know how painful both parents and students are. Some parents even take annuel leaves to accompany their children during exam weeks. When their children perform poorly in class, they cry in front of teachers and beg for help!!

Being a parent, I just want my boy to be self-confident, creative and independent. I want him to learn instead of just memorize things. I want to "enjoy" weekends and holidays w/ him when he is young. That's why i choose IS. :lol:

這些回應, 由一位曾當老師的發表出來, 是多麼的有說服力, 真的令我相當動容.

好多謝你地，但我點諗都諗唔掂
如果我自己比哂IS既學費，咁我小朋友就要放棄哂佢好鐘意既學外活動班，好似畫畫。。。。我老公係好反對IS收咁貴，所以佢覺得係『呃錢』
再同佢商討只會變成吵架。。。。
覺得對我的孩子很抱歉 :-(

我好堅持送2個女讀國際學校(雖則佢地仲未正式讀書 :-) ), 因為我好希望佢地開心, local school 好辛苦自己細個時都經歷過, 而且我2個女特別係大女, 佢好independent, 唔鍾意比人限制住, 如果讀local school我覺得老師會label佢做問題學生因為佢唔受控制, 我個女宜家返緊pre-school 個playgroup, 好似IS咁好free, 我個女好開心,老師都對佢好好, 如果我能力做到我一定繼續比佢地上IS, 好彩我同老公意見一致, 而且2個女的事佢比我話事, 佢做support, 希望我2個女可以一路上IS, 順順利利 :-D 其實人地講咩唔緊要, 最重要咩野先係for小朋友最好, 個個小朋友唔同, 唔一定IS好, local school 亦唔一定差, 因材施教先係上策 ;-)
