I derive no joy from seeing your blood pressure rise. So I'll sit on my hands and give up writing under this and the other thread. After all, you are entitled to your view. Take care. Good luck.

<< Therefore, the considerations or decisions to switch to adopt IBD or even PYP or MYP for those schools in HK (including IS or others) are more or less as follows >>

I am curious about how you draw the conclusion as above.

By the GSIS report you mentioned or by your own judgement?

<< The IB system is not anything new but has been established for over 30.  The main reason of becoming more popular in recent years is due to the globalization effect that there is an increasing need for the students receiving pre-university education in certain countries while considering to apply universities in some other countries. A single and common qualification may be more convenient and have practical uses that suits for most of those types of students. >>

I don't think this is true.

Take HK as a example :

- ESF, CIS, FIS and even GSIS switched from GCE A-Level to IBD in recent years.
- Student in these schools can use GCE-A LeveL to apply for schools aboard , such as USA &  UK and even Australia
( actually, they are doing these for decades. )
- they don't need to switch to IBD simply because the students need to apply overseas university
- they must have other reasons to switch to IBD

<< Each system has its own pros and cons.  Of course it is much much better than the usual style and mode of education offered by Hong Kong's local schools >>

Sorry, I don't understand your logic again.

If you think each system has it's own pros and cons, which I strongly agreed with you, then why you put a immediate, bold stateman that It' much better than the usual style and modes of education offered by Hong Kong's local schools?

Do you think it's logically correct or I miss some points from you?

Thanks christf for sending me the reports. I have finally gone through them. It seems that most universities interviewed speak very highly of IB and the majority of GSIS's parents prefer IB too. My observation is that the GSIS parents who are against IB dislike it for 2 reasons: (1) parents of students in upper grade do not want their children to be guinea pigs, (2) there are some parents who want all science or all arts, which is not allowed under the IB. It also seems that the teachers are very resistent to changes. I can understand that. Why change the winning formula when GSIS is successful at A level? Do u think my observation is correct?

Is it now official that GSIS is changing to IB? When will the change take place?  Thanks for sharing.

GSIS will have the IB from 2013 and the first batch of IB students will graduate in 2015.

Thanks.

Can I jump into conclusion ... Get in GSIS and will able to get into famous U. (no matter it is IB or not). The questions is which IS is as good as GSIS ?

Can't agree the 'conclusion' more, given GSIS's track record in dispatching its students to top-notch universities.  IB or not may not count as much as one thinks.
