Good Hope: 45 pupils in a class

lola2008

都唔吖，我住呢頭好近德望，我經常都見到德望嘅學生行樓下商場，佢哋都好乖，好斯文，就算成班同學一齊，講嘢都唔會大聲，儀容、校服亦好標準，我諗你見到係好個別情況，反而我就見過「音小」中學部嘅學生有你講嘅情形，而且唔只一次。

That's good point.  What about discipline.  I've seen their secondary students smoke after school.  They also don't look polite compared with other girls' schools.

My ex-girlfriend graduated from GH primary. She is a smoker and her English was just ok la

Overall speaking, do you feel good about GH?
The school starts early at 7:30am; the class is too crowded;  the students from secondary section that you saw did not look too polite and smoked in the public area; an old girl that you were quite familiar with was a smoker and was just able to speak OK Eng...
the reason why you applied to this school is that it is a good back-up, which is second to DGJS among all private/DSSs on kln side?

人數小左 = 仲惡教左, 因為班學生好鬼naughty

人數多左 = 易d教？因為班學生冇咁naughty

唔明個 logic!!

我覺得傳統教學係上堂較小作interactive, 所以大細班唔係一個main issue, 而main issue係呢班小朋友有無discipline.  有老師同我講而家班人數小左, 但仲惡教左, 因為班學生好鬼naughty.

How do you know he didn't go out with her when she was still studying at GH?

Yeah, sort of; I'm more keen on girls school. How about you, you seemed just focusing on YW, DBS and TSL, not interested in any others??

Like you, I prefer boys' schools for my son, actually.  I believe boys' schools have higher tolerence for active/naughty boys.  Yes, we will also try others as back up if we fail to get to the final at those ultracompetitive schools.

She had told me before that she used to sneak out from school to smoke. She was a naughty and adventurous type of girl, but she did give me one of the best (and bad) time.

For the behaviour in single sex school, I have no much perference or beleive which is better over the others.

However, single sex school would not tolerate higher for trouble character.  Boy assault another boy in YW would be grave sin...all boys were learnt since P.1 as they are brothers.  The penality would be kicked out from school.

45 : 1 is kind of hugh class and oppose to current small class trend.

But we are customer and the one who pay the tuition.  the school did not point you a gun, right?

猴子爸

I don't think any school can accept such violent behavior.  But "坐定定" "strictly keep silent" 这一类，我相信还是有不同的接受程度。

Do anyone know the importance of language development in this school?
Some mentioned that the students in this school were good in English.
Any & how many NET are a/v in GH?

45 students in a class? it's far too much! the group dynamic will be completely different from a 28 or 30 people class. Only the best and the worst will be noticed and the majority will become the "quiet group". Don't think it catch the standard and expectations nowadays.

會唔會佢屋企本身就係講英文架?
如果唔係的話, 佢都未必會全程同父母講英文.
始終難以相信只得少量net teacher的學校可以教出竹昇英文.

有冇人可以話啤我知德望的spoken english係咪真係好好.  如果係的話, 係靠學校亦或係靠家庭的支援?  D學生係講好好的本地英文亦或近似竹昇英文?

If all the family can speak English fluently, the child would more likely to have good English development.

Dear all,
You are all correct that the kids and parents have to wake up very early every morning because the schooling time starts at 7:30 a.m.
Yes, you are right that the teacher to pupil is 1 to 45. It is very crowd and attention to pupils is very very limited.
Yes, Good Hope School have the black sheep e.g. smokers, drug addicts or drinker.
Anything I miss and what else? Overall, bad bad......

Kind sharing only:
What the elite schools are eager to accept is the independent, proactive and high frustration tolerating pupils but not the attention seeking pupils and parents. Independent personality should be habituated in the primary school. I contemplate that no parents want their kids to depend on parents. Of course, reasonable and kind enquiry are very welcomed by school.
The classroom is very spacious and new. 50 pupils can be studied together even.

Last week, I have joined the picnic organized by Teacher-Parents Association for primary one. I can surely sense the love and enthusiam from the parents of Good Hoper.

If the time is too early, I think the school may not fit to your family because the family commitment and support are very vital in all aspects. Same to pupils, teacher need to wake up more earlier but they stay themselves in school, Why?

Homework is abundant but easy to complete.

Smoker.... How about the La salle' college of drug addicting? How about DBS and Queen's college of stealing?  Black sheeps are everywhere. Try to think about your secondary school life. How many of them?

Thus, let it be that many environmental factors are uncontrollable and future of that who will know.
Family education is golden rule of nuturing your lovely kids.

At least, my kid studies happily.
Regards
