Tks to monkeydad & bblaw reply.

May i ask another question: I just want to know more and open for discussion. ( hoping that i did not offence anyone this time)

What do u think abt the TSA results? I heard someone said that if no banding of the school, it would be much more difficult to find other school when promoted to secondary. Of course, we can stay at SMC for sec school... but just know if we can still have choices abt other school.

Agree with monkeydad,I come from LH. In the LH seminar, A parent said the vice-principle observe the strength & weak point. So, the school is changing and want to do better.

My cousin's math teacher who daughter graduate from SMC, She can promote to a famous gov'nt school in kowloon Tong.

I just tell u, not for promote how good of SMC , just provide my experience.

kam118,

I have not thought through your question re. TSA result in depth.  We select SMC partly because its direct promotion to the secondary section.  Besides, we have confidence on SMC in achieving desirable results.  We still hold the same view on back of my boy's progress in the last 9 months.

If in case you choose SMC and eventually you find the school is not your cup of tea, I think you can still change to other school as long as you find the way to tune your kid to match the criteria of your target school / to bridge the gap, rather than depending on SMC.  My point is you may be, to certain extent, disatisfied with SMC if you think of changing to another school.  It would be rationally conflicting if you rely on a school which you are disatified with to help you achieving your goal.

Many tks for yr reply, monkeydad.

Yes, I am quite confused becoz my kid is shy and lack of confidence but she likes reading and she can finish all homework w/ little guidance. Therefore, I am thinking i should put her into traditional sch which she can doing well in many aspects... but it may lose chance of building her confidence or presentation skills.. That's why i am interested in SMC, hoping that it would have more chance to explore herself in front of others. I think it is v. important to her future development.

My friend advised me that if SMC cannot meet yr expectation on above aspects, u just can't go back since they don't have any bands, it would be difficult if u want to switch back to other traditional school. That's shy i am eager to know abt if they give chances to students to show and talk... any chance to forth back if any gap happened.

I know SMC is a good school but just worried if i will make the right choice to my kids.. and keep asking questions.

Anyway, I would like to say "thanks" again!

I am just a new member of SMC. But, I search a lot of data from current students.One make me a support. One kid can go CCC   in kowloon Tong which is band 1 secondary school. In my opinion, SMC is a traditional school mode, but add some curriculum and creat a English environment. They attend local examination.The books are same with other schools.

hi bblaw,

kam118,

You had made a very thoughtful consideration indeed.

I would like to share my experience -  my boy used to be very shy and lacking confidence.  He never made his view in the class at the beginning - one of the few in the class.  I heard from the English NET teacher recently that he has started to speak up.  Style of non-local teachers usually encourages participation.

I personally think less homework is better - quality Vs quantity.  I do not agree making the kids learn something by repeatedly doing the writing and exercises.  Besides, if the teachers have less quantitative pressure in producing and marking homework, they would have resources to be more qualitative.

Kids in P1 are encouraged to write 30-50 words story (English) even at the start, regardless of the gramatical mistakes made.  My boy now can finish his story writing during the class Vs bringing back home in the last 2 semesters.  This is an encouraging sign of improvement.  I quote this to point out that SMC has its own way to achieve its goal, given the lesser extent of homework.

I have projected the development of my boy based on his progress made in the past months, I personally do not think there would be significant and material difference in what he would have learnt in a traditional school from pure academic perspective.

Hi ChapmanMa,

Me too.  If I could get a seat in SMC, I will release the gov't school even if I knock the door successfully.

Do you know is there any interview for waiting list ?
and how ?  

Anyway, I hope both of us could got the SMC seat in final.  

Cheers,

Yes, mabelzero, add oil .....

you are still waiting for the result of knocking the door ?  Which net are you ? I am net 40 and has been allocated to no. 10th choice which is a bad school.  

I don't know if SMC will call for 2nd interview for the waiting list ? And I want to know too ?  Any SMC parents can share the experience ?  Also, any SMC parents could get some hints with the administration office about the status of the waiting list ?

Please share.  Thanks for great help.
