you really think that you and your daughter would have no pressure if she is the last in the class?
they said the 100% of P6 would go to the secondary... however, as i know from people inside, not 100% of P1 would able to go to the P6...

But, I have the feeling that once you get in, its less competitive than, say, DGS. and the students are more humble.  

anyone agree?

for me, its good enough if my daughter can get in. I dont care if ...

OK, maybe an exaggeration. I think perhaps top 90% can to to sec school? vs 60% in, say marymount?

I only worry about how to get accepted now.

I like competitions. I think that pushes the kids harde ...

CKY is a private school and it's already as expensive as some international schools (however still a bit less than st paul co).
i know nothing about "victoria's secret"...

Most elite int'l schools should charge far more than 60K (may be except ESF), plus intl' schools have to be paid with debenture or capital fees per year.  

I heard CKY is targeting to charge furthe ...

"I heard CKY is targeting to charge furthermore after their new campus has been in used, may be in par with some int'l school.  Donno if this is the truty. just hearsay.  With co-ed, at least at this moment, no need to pay any sort of capital/debenture. Victoria has already started to require students to pay a fee similar to debenture at a price less than the usual int'l school debenture."

that's nothing wrong with that... that good actually!!
that's mean the daddy alone can earn enough money to raise the family and pay the school fee with easy.
If I were the principle of any school, I shall do the same.

that's not important for them to talk about their teaching method or curriculum, because i have heard that the teachers in this school not really need to teach anything as the pupils have already learnt everything at home with their private tutors.
face it, this kind of school is a connection. it just gather all the alike parents together and let their children more or less in the same community in the future.
if the parents aren't alike the other parents or don't feel comfortable in this style of life. there is no real benefit for the child. i don't think they really learn more than any other school. but the children know more rich people already when they finished school for sure.

I know there is talk for admission.

but after admission, does school offers parents's a briefing talk on the school's education approach / teaching method/ curriculum / meet you teachers?

don't you see?!
the "eager " is from parents, not from them.

for me a happy childhood is so valuable that it's really something we should treasure.
i wonder parents nowadays (me included, of cause) look so far in the future for their child, sometime forgotten the importance of Present.

I would agree that the drive of excellence came from the parents and not from the school.  However this is also a good thing to have - you will develop a similar peer network ( but be su ...

【明報專訊】小一自行分配學額階段今日展開，部分直資及私立小學已截止報名，今年部分地區直資名校申請人數及競爭學位比例猶勝傳統名校。油麻地保良局陳守仁小學收到逾3000份申請，較去年大幅增加近三成，校長楊永明直言是意料之外，相信因直資學校重視英文而獲家長支持。
