wisekid2007's child is probably one of the brightest one.
I think to consider whether you want to choose international school, the only thing you need to consider is whether you are willing to fit in.
A lot of parents I know complain of this and that (eg. poor chinese, no/few homework). I think parents should understand how international school teach children. Parents should forget what other children are doing in local schools.
I can promise you that if you are with a good international school, your child would be ahead of other children of the same age by the he/she leave primary school.
I have read it so many times that (local school) students nowadays are in fact poor at both Chinese and English. And students do not seem to like reading, not even Chinese books, at all.
Want to share what you having been doing to help your child keep up with his/her Chinese AND English ability, so that he/she is will not be considered "poor in both"?
I have also read that lecturers in local universities have expressed their views that they do prefer teaching international schools students.
Your argument is totally illogical.
You were merely trying to find ways out to explain why the chinese and english standard of even HKU and CU students are poor.
But in any case, it is a totally new way of explaning things, according to your needs.
Good for you for being so happy with the present local school system.

其實如果父母想比兒女讀IS,但又唔想佢地唔識中文, 我有一個提議,依家小朋友重細應該儲蓄下錢, 可以暫時比一間local band 1小學佢地讀, 到佢地age 10 or 中3才出國讀書, 佢地中文一定好, 又可同外國學校課程接到, 我同我妹妹都係中一先到外國讀書, 返到香港都唔難搵工, 因為我地都識中文
I think most IS parents also have experience with local education and have studied overseas. And that's why they are not considering local school education.
