any school that did not screen students by their academic performance, much cheaper than any private school in uk, yet still have good univerisity enrollment . don't take the figures quoted as a criti ...

Dear mattsmum,

Just like to clarify with you the university enrollment of ESF, according to past data, it was over 90% or nearly 100%,  NOT 70% as you quoted. This is in fact satisfactory for a non-selective international school.

If you have doubt, please enquire directly with ESF.

Harrow International, on the other hand, is viewed as a prestiged private independent school in UK.  A good alternative for the very rich.

Back to the discussion on Harrow...
The schools in Beijing and Bangkok are become very rich people club and extremely difficult to get in and no one really particular care on the acedemic result..this is what we called "blue blood" school...

Can't agree more with edea.

有時候收到一些舉報, 再看家長的回應實在有點無奈.

debate是好事, 但變成侮辱對方就不是好事了.

只想說, 就算再有point, 也應該用友善態度去討論, 別忘了一個人的態度也反映了他的修養. 我們教孩子, 成績重要, 品德都重要, 希望家長們都共勉之.

Acceptable or not depends on:-
(1) Whether the 70% figure is correct or not.
(2) Assuming the figure is correct, what happens to the other 30%?  
(3) Whether your own kid is in the 70% category or the ...

I do agree that there a lot of factors that affect the figure.
But unfortunately, numbers or figures are clear quantifiers, which parents would always look at.

ESF is a non-selective and I honestly think that it is not fair to compare with other selective schools such as GSIS.  Statistics are sometimes misleading.   

We all agree that ESF is not exactly selective. But I was also not selective when I talked about the university admittance.
Getting into Princeton and Oxford is of course not easy, but just getting into a university is not exactly hard. There are lots of "average" universities that do not ask for high grades.
Yet 30% of the students get nothing?
Is that a bit quite unbelievable?
