亦有D人將IS講到有幾衰得幾衰, 無他既, 咁先可以平衡自己心理變態, 唔駛咁妒忌他人!

未必係心理變態咁嚴重，亦唔係"妒忌"咁誇張...
有人覺得讀直資平靚正，有人覺得讀IS物有所值。河水不犯井水。
最唔明有d"人"成日有理冇理，見人就咬!
當然唔排除有少部份人有錢捨得買車買豪宅買Limited Edition包包，但又唔捨得俾錢d仔女讀IS，所以不停批評IS，咁就可平衡一下佢o既英明決定!

Recently, I find there is a lot of IS student also go to tutorial class in Maths. There is a tutorial school in central which offers tutorial class for IB at HK$700 per lesson & all the course are full.  
I think only local school kid need to go to tutorial school ?????

"Comparison" is a new DNA in majority Hong Kong Chinese parents, no matter IS or Local (maybe including me...i'm not so sure).
If I were the owner of tutorial class centre, i will charge HK$1000 or HK$1500 per lesson;coz sheeps must feel better by paying HK$1000/lesson class after the mechanism of Comparison.
I thought studying in IS can leave the battlefield but it seems I was wrong. Another battlefield(s) has/have been establishing...

The reason of having another battlefield(s) being established is that there are increasing IS schools and students including a lot of those new IS parents who still have the "traditional" mind-set of  ...

Agree.
Then, are you feeling pressure if not sending your boy to traditional tutorial classes in those areas he is not too strong?

No, I don't feel any pressure. Parents will not chat about which tutorial classes their kids are attending.

In fact, I haven't sent my boy to any academic tutorial class except having a private Chine ...

I don't "buy" tutorial classes (except Chinese), too.
If I "buy" Kumon, why not send my children to Free of Charge local school?
Maybe they would be  trained to be a good examination machines. That's all; and no more.

Happy to know that there are 同道人 in BK.

In fact, my boy's academic assessment results at school is only above average. None of the subject, even including English, was assessed as top of the class ...

But i do worry "tutorial class" will become epidemic amongst IS in Hong Kong (like local schools that attending tutorial class is a symbol of success even for 10As elites(or machines?))
In future, we may be forced to feed "chicken essence" to our children remain competitive.
In one day, 90% population are zombies, the best way to survive is to be a zombie, too...

Sending IS students to after school extra lessons is indeed a recent phenomenon. When my elder child was in an IS some years ago, nobody compared academic results of different IS and I never heard any parent came out and complimented his child's school's academic results. Seems that IS parents are now becoming more like local schools' parents  and feeling less and less secure.
