回覆 Starrynite 的帖子

Dear Starrynite,

Yes，you are right. ICS is academically very very demanding indeed.  The so-called native speakers might not perform as well as non-natives in terms of reading， writing or overall literacy. No offense.

I guess the core issue is parents' ego instead of the wording.  At least there was a legitimate reason given (although parents might not be convinced！) .  I got a reject letter from another very sought-after private school (not IS) which was obviously a computer-generated letter，just saying that my child's application was unsuccessful.  No reason was given.  No reference was made to my girl's name，application number，parents' name，etc. That was a epic joke to me！

同意，應該考慮向學校appeal而不是去消委會投訴！

我的理解是，從頭到底，樓主都是對自己小孩的英語能力信心十足（到底如何define native speaker，見仁見智，平常跟外傭說英語是否就是native？當然，我不是指樓主小孩，樓主小孩可能真是native speaker!）但是native speaker就是否代表面試/筆試表現一定很好？面試是光考口語的嗎？小孩臨場表現也很重要的，態度，應對能力，臨場反應等等。再者，家長有跟admission officer面談的嗎？有的話，我相信這個也會有丁點影響的。正如樓上部分人所說，我覺得單看reject的理由和wording，一點兒都沒有問題。只不過是樓主可能接受不了小孩被批為“英語能力未達學校要求”這個“事實”（“事實”我是指面試時的表現！）以上純為個人猜測，希望樓主不要介意並可以盡快let go and move forward.
