Do anyone of you feel that the chinese teaching in this school is really below our expectation?

I think that alot of the students are getting help on chinese afterschool.

Yes, their Chinese standard is  below the average standard.

When I attended the P5 parents' meeting with the homeroom 2 years ago, the teacher told us that the girls had no problem and just need more readings.  Then I knew that we had to get help ourselves, e.g. looking for a good Chinese tutor.

Well, the standard is quite high. I have some friends' daughters studying at MPS and I saw that their chinese hw are pretty hard, at least, not below average.
One more thing to add on to is that they even teach chinese in Putonghua in MSS. I think this school is quite promising overall.

I guess your friend's daughters are in the upper primary?

I hope they will turn up the heat in Chinese teaching in upper p. We are still in our lower p, which I find there is a lack of training in chinese compositions.They also have a 26 week exercise book which is rarely done for home work. Wonder why.

Overall impression is not enough Chinese training by the school.

I just don't understand why they do not raise the standard of chinese, to bridge the gap from primary to secondary?

can parents of MPS share their views about the school? how is homework load?  how often are there tests?  is pressure on kids high? what about projects?  Do kids have to spend a lot of their weekends studying and doing hw?  and quality of teachers?  sorry for so many questions.  I am considering this school.  I am an alumni, but I am afraid that the school has changed a lot since it has been many years.

回覆 1# elmostoney 的文章

I think the standard of teachers varies alot. Some younger teacher are not so dedicated. One of them speak too softly and just not capable of classroom management, you just cannot hear what the teacher is teaching.

There are also some good teachers, but it depends on luck to get into these classes.

The girls here are generally happy and confident. They get many prizes at th eSpeech festival, compared to other firls school. The school let you join the festival freely. But I think the credit in the firls' achievements go to the parents as the school does not provide enough training.

Not too much HW, but definitely need outside help in chinese. If you are a fulltime mum, and can follow closely with your daughter's studies, then will not have much problem in tests.

thanks, ketchupbaba.  i hv heard that many schools require kids to do "projects," and many of these projects are often beyond the understanding and ability of the students - therefore, leading to a lot of help from parents.  is it the case?  also, does it take a lot of time in studying and hw over the weekends as well?

you mentioned that the Chinese standard is not up to par.  Can you elaborate a bit more? as an LS, MPS cannot be worse off than IS such as SIS and ISF, right? doesn't the school use textbooks from an approved list by the education department - as in all gov't subsidized schools?  

my memory about the school is that the English was REALLY tough, and I still preferred leisure Chinese reading over English until F.1.  But I had no transition problems in English, Math and Chinese from P6 to F1. anyway, that was a long long time ago.

They usually do projects in groups, I don't find the kids need a lot of parents' help, but sometimes if you are in a lazy group you tend to find your daughter doing most of the work. (I consider this a good learning experience.)

I believe all sub. schools follow government's syllabus, so they will have limited say in the text books. But I think they have a say in the tests' level. I find the text books they chose are not difficult, and the tests are reasonable. Because of the need to get within the upper band of test results in order to get to secondary school, you really need to get As ( I think at least A-) in most major subjects. That's why there is a pressure for the students to work their heads off and give up alot of free time. I think you just have to find a balance.

Chinese is  relatively more difficult, that's why most kids are getting help elsewhere, as I don't find they are doing the teaching job very well here. I heard most students find Chinese a great stumbling block in the transition from primary to secondary.

I think if the girl has a good memory, and the parents are watching closely enough, with good time management, you can still have a normal afterschool life and weekends. Of course you have to give up most of the play time at weekends before the tests.

The foundation years (P1 -3 ) are important particularly in Maths and Chinese. If you make good use of winter and summer holidays you can easily stay ahead of most and have an  easy school life.

As for English, the level is lower than I expected, but I heard still considered to be better than most schools. (except the top schools). Mostly due to the teachers of this generation, I think most schools have this problem in HK.

On the whole, the school is like a support system, you cannot reply on it completely . You will find the good students here are actually getting most of the support from their parents.

Homework load is not heavy when compared with other schools. The girls are happy. 4 tests per year for junior (P1 - P3), no exam. Not much pressure from school as there's no position announcement.

Chinese is below standard. English is good. It all depends on your expectation on your girl if you have leisure time in weekends. Usually not much homework, but you have to do online exercise, most kids need to praticse musical instrument, no matter piano, violin, then some exercise like swimming, ball games,..... I think most kids are busy in weekends.

Overall comments - my girl is happy to go to school and she loves the school and most of the teachers.

Overall a good school, but some of the teachers give me the impression they have "civil servant" mentality, with no passion in teaching, just working for a  living .

Like not much writing exercises during the year, does not give us back girls' compositions until after 3 months just before holidays. Nothing, no writing practises at home, and suddenly, before the tests we are doing 3 tsa writing exerciese per week. What is she thinking? Just to make up the quota and disregard the pupils ' learning path?

Of course one can always make loads of excuses like giving out writing works when the girls are ready bla bla bla.

But it is obvious that she just does not have a heart in teaching. We are just made to swallowed what we are getting. What else can we do??

WEll it really depends on which teachers are you going to meet and your daughter going to be with.
Chinese is not really hard, but certainly up to standard. English is really in high standard, particularly when your daughter gets in to Marymount Secondary, the English level is very high.

I think 'potential' MPS parents must learn the fact that it is impossible to rely only on the school, but it is much more to do with parents. Most 'famous' and prestigious schools in Hong Kong are based on the same mode, students go to school to develop their spirit, expand their network with other schoolmates, build up their intellectual skills and confidence, strengthen their own characters and talents. Academic is mainly responsible by parents and 'tutors'. Parents really have to play a role in your kid's learning if you wish to put them into 'famous' schools.
