There is nothing much I can say except to share with you my own thought.  

I am currently undergoing the same P1 process.  So far news have been disappointing.  I applied 5 schools and so far only one accepted my son and that that one was originally a back up.  I tried to tell myself to take it easy thru out the process but it is really not easy.  It was just like a coach seeing his player performing really bad during a big event when he could have finished first.  (I am biased of coz.)

Yet, the more I understand the game, the more I think getting to whatever school have plus and minus.  In longer run, which outrun which is still hard to tell.

Good famous schools nowadays are all DSS or private and demands high tuition.  They did not turn DSS until recent years.  The tuition part, I am very please to pay if they accept me.  Yet, I sometimes do feel odd with the upbring of my kid in such environment.  For instance, my dream school will cost probably $10k per month.  To be able to avoid this tuition will mean whole class will be from middle class or up.  Will this create an distortion of what the real world is during their upbring?  (For this same reason, I did not apply for one of the most famous school around.)

In addition, most famous schools are competitive in learning but at the same time try to achieve fun learning.  Many of them have lesser homework and try to keep "studying" fun.  Yet, when I saw the pupils' work, the level of output and input does not match.  This implies parents have to actually teach themselves and do the "dirty work".  Will this be too much pressure for me to handle?  I am not sure.

Yet, again, I am not saying famous schools are bad.  If my dream school now accept my kid, I will be celebrating with fireworks.  However, I just hope to point out that what seems good now may not be really good in longer run.  What seems bad now may be good in future.  Only time can tell.

Now, I really leave the destiny of my son to who ever up there.  The more I look into current system, the more I know there is no black/white answer.  

I am hoping for the best and if the best don't come, it may be a blessing.

Take it easy.

Cheers.

有學校取錄,已經比好多人好(有些朋友到現在連一個offer都未有),何必強求?

很多時,我們會認為自己的小孩子很smart(基於自己、身邊的人等等),但當眾多「smart」的小孩子都一窩蜂擁向熱門學校時,自然會出現「一山還有一山高」的情況。我報了三間學校,亦只有一間學校取錄。

若真的很想很想入讀某心儀學校,唯有叩門。但一切皆以平常心面對,就算叩門失敗還有退路,無謂令自己太緊張,不值得﹗

盡了己力,問心無愧。

So true!  The whole process is draining on parents and kids.   I try very hard not to hurt my kids in anyway now or later.  

Getting into a famous school does not mean automatic great job / career, etc.  I've worked with and hired people from famous schools and my experience has been so and so.  I've colleagues with so and so backgrounds but do very well and go on to do extremely well by continuing their education and striding to do their best.  

Giving kids the right attitudes is probably more important.

Your name is the answer you need.

Leave to God.   I will pray for you.

The problem is not with our kids, it is the system and our expectation.   

So far, we have not secured a place in any school, I still trust God will have the best arrangement for us.
