我就煩緊揀Think (美孚) or SN,

大家覺得點選好?

我target係傳統小學, 唔會讀國際學校, 家住美孚, 讀Think唔駛坐校車, 但SN又多人讚, 所以仲係1516.

Twinsstar, 請問你bb係邊間think?  係唔係美孚? ...

如果你嘅target係傳統小學, 我唸讀sn 會好啲,
sn 嘅課程銜接小一會貼近啲, 傳統幼稚園做功課, 寫字, 默書都好有系統, 係一間唔錯嘅選擇:loveliness:

mine is Lam Tin ar as it is near our home. I don't want him to travel when he was in LN ... too small to travel long to school!

I don't know about SN but my son loves THINK very very much and he  learns a lot from school too ... n i love his teachers (v caring) that;s y i;m struggling ....

應該keep到, 因為我有去個talk, 校長話今年報名人多, 加開左兩班下午班, 之前只有上午班架咋.

其實sn我都好鐘意, 最鐘意佢派位唔錯+小班, 而且學費唔太貴, 而家我頭痛緊Think定SN, 你地覺得邊間好d?

Think比我上 ...

isnt the teacher-student ratio is "set" by the govt? I mean won't have too much difference. The net-teacher - student might vary though...

SC for sure and you won't be regretted.  Having said that, I am not a SC mom and my younger son is only waitlisted.  

However, my elder is in P1 this year (he came from KV), according to SN's official announcement, only 2 boys this year (2009 p1) got a seat at that DSS primary school.   

I am not saying that SN is no good.  I would also let my son to study in there (I didn't apply it actually) if no offers from SC, KV, KM and HKPS.  Obviously, I would rank SN higher than York and Stafford and any other kinders in Kln Tong.

But if aidenma only compare SC and SN, then surely SC.

[My personal opinion and experience only]

SN is small class in K1, but more parent  would application to K2. When yr children study in k2 have about 25 -30 in one class.

雖然sn 無 sc 咁出名, 但我在網上左睇右睇, 每個媽咪都對sn有讚無彈, 所以仔仔有這offer我都好開心, 如果係am offer就更perfect, 可惜而家係下午班.  我最鐘意sn係小班教學, less than 20人一班, 相信對細仔的照顧 ...

係啦...我睇完好多SN COMMENTS都幾好,所以其他SCHOOL唔收都冇太唔開心!
