Sigh~ I feel sorry to your case, but the truth is many parents think that ESF is a kind of dragon school/ half-dragon school, they are not aim at IS at all. They take the ESF offer, just to treat this as a back-up for primary, and planning to apply local primary Y1 (at that time their kids are already in Y1 of IS stream), if success they will move out, if not they will stay. So it will be a bit hard to get the call waiting.

Some parents may have such a plan, but it is not a very practical plan because ESF kindergartens are really "play schools" which offer very little in terms of structured academic learning, even ESF Y1 is mainly play with no homework, hence the children will have great difficulty in adjusting back to local primary schools. Parents who attempt to do this usually send their children to 2 kindergartens, one ESF and one local, and I would say only 10% to 20% of ESF parents might try it, so it is not a major trend.

回覆 Saboc 的帖子

He was average. I would say other parents were so aggressive in demontrating their kids' talent while we were only sitting by the side and play with him as usual. We had 2 assessors coming by and talked to / played with my son and we just let them chat at their own...but he managed to tidy up and said goodbye to the assessors...maybe that counts...

You are correct! The staff told me that they sent out around 2x offers by e-mail last week.

Around 200 kids on the waiting list. Seems the order on the list is according to the random no.

Just wondering, will you guys try again in K2 or Y1? Even a seat is available, K2 got no priority for Y1 interview right? I found below link from KJS that Y1 becomes quite impossible now.
