While I dont agree 100% to what Edexp said, he/she has a point.  This little person's English is way too 'perfect', spelling and grammar etc., which you seldem see even among native english kids while they are still developing their language skills.  May be this shows you how SIS disciplines their children.  Whether it is your cup of tea is another matter.

Mighty,

Remember that I am a boy.
You may think that my English is too perfect for a P2 student, but there are spelling tests and I get 9/10...10/10...almost every time. Please note that I am under supervision. My parents don't want me to be influenced by bad guys like Edexp.

This is funny.  A self-made 7-Y-O manages to get the wise kid to apologise.

But ironically, I am with wise kid this time.

Yes. i'm not an education expert and I never read writing/essay by P.2 students.
However, I don't agree there must be a writing "style" for ALL IS students (or Students studying in IS should not be "moulded/shaped" into any standard writing style.)
Anyway, you are free to comment/criticize anything you are discontent with (so do I).
I'll leave this topic for parents enjoy discussing SIS. Enjoy.

I am a non-singaporean parent in SIS. Both my children are studying there, my daughter from PY1 and she's now in P1. Her English carries an American accent, no Singlish at all. When she was in PY1, her Eng teacher spoke with an American accent. The one in PY2 spoke with an Austratlian accent. The present one in P1 speaks with a British accent. My son in PY1 also speaks with an American accent. I speak with an American accent myself, but I'm cool with all other types of accent.

From my observation, the Singaporean children in SIS do not speak in a strong Singlish accent, but their parents do. No problem mixing with them. In HK, it's more for them to mingle into our culture, more than us into theirs.

But if any parents fear  hearing the slightest bit of English, they should not choose this school.

What is an IS style of writing? Who in this forum is in the position to define and judge?

Exactly.  What's wrong with Singaporean accent?  A gentleman whom I respect a lot speaks with a heavy Punjabi accent.  So what?

Only losers care about accent.

I have no experience with SIS.  My only (ridiculously subjective) concern  is that not an insignificant number of Singaporean whom I know tend to think vertically, and vertically only.  Ask them to be more open-minded and try to think laterally, they'd rather kill themselves.  But, are we HKers any better?  I'm not sure.  Many of us HKers are not any better, especially those who call themselves wise and claim to be expert in this and that.

Dear All,

I am Compsognathus's father.

I think some of you may remember I have a son studying in SIS. He is a P2 student. I am here to clarify the speculation in this thread.

These all happened in last June when I was answering some questions about the school life of SIS.

http://forum.edu-kingdom.com/viewthread.php?tid=2132995&extra=page=18

I asked my son for information to avoid misleading other parents and it was the first time he knew I was browsing BK. The following was what we wrote:

------------------------------------------------------
My son is in P1 of SIS. Sorry that I have no idea of travelling time from Hunghom to SIS. I just double checked with my son. He said they usually arrive the gymnasium before 8:00a.m.. They then have assembly/silent reading. PY2 students will get together in the multi-purpose room. They may have a movie to watch. Lessons will start at 8:30a.m.. PY1 students will also get together in the multi-purpose room at about 12.00 noon and class will start at 12:30p.m.. PY2 students will go home at 12 o'clock noon. PY1 students will go home at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. This is the same as primary students and secondary students, but P2 to P3 will sometimes stay over at school for camp but P4 to P6 will go out of the school sometimes for camp. P1 and PY do not have camp. P1 to S2 will have more lessons for eg. swimming. P1 to P3  will have French lessons. PY have only Chinese and English lessons but sometimes English lessons have a bit of math in them. P1 have more homework than PY. Chinese is the subject that makes the most homework. Sometimes there is one week that has no homework (exam-week), then the next week has normal time homework (normal week of school). There is usually 3 homework sheets a week. My son usually takes half an hour at the most to finish his homework. Math has an intermediate amount of homework. They usually have math homework once a week. He usually finish in 15min. Sometimes P1 have E-assignments. Engish homework is very rare.


\\\ there will be more homework and tests and exams. The curriculum is not easy. It takes much time for kids to study. The pressure is higher\\\

That might be true but I don't think it is very bad at all. They might have exams but they have recess and lunch. Also, exam is FUN!-unless you are very nervous. On exam week the school day is cut in half. It is very easy to study-so WHO CARES??!! My classmates are very happy in school. The school teachers are very nice but you still have to be good! There are nice things to eat. PY have field trips. When I was in PY1, my class teachers took my class to Wetland Park. PY2 teachers took us to Ocean Park. If you like it, then you're in the right school!
P.S. This was written (including this note) by a 7 year old P1 child studying in SIS.


Disclaimer: From the 4th sentence, this contribution is my son's idea. He said and I typed. He also do the proof-reading. At the late part, he actually took up my seat and do the typing himself. It is up to the reader whether to trust the words of a 7 yr old child or not! 引用:

-------------------------------------------------------

Then we recieved a thank from Sunflowersg. He was very happy that he had been helpful to others. He asked me to open an account in BK for him so that he could answer some other questions raised about the school life of SIS under his own account not mine. This little kid wants to be independent from me so soon!

I think it may not be a bad idea since a student can give a first hand experience and information about the school life. Even parent could only give second hand experience in some aspects. I even think if Edexp could ask his best friend (wisxxxx, leexxx, dayxxxx, chrxxx, jamesbondxxx, jedaxxx, etc.)'s son (when he is emotionally stable) to answer the questions about the school life of GSIS and QBS would be very informative, interesting and helpful.

It was not until last week when Lifesharing raised some question about SIS that I thought he could answer. I opened an account for him and helped him search a picture of compsognathus in the internet (he is a dinosaurs expert!) Then he started answering under my supervision. This time, the answers were all his ideas and he did all the typing. I did not correct his English ( I must admit that his English is better than mine. It is no big deal. I speak with Hong Kong accent and it takes me a long time to write this posting.). I just double checked whether he gave correct information.

It was out of my expectation that someone query his identity (It may be my mistake!) and debating about his English ability and writing style just based on a few straight forward sentences about some factual things. I just can't imagine how we can answer these questions with有趣、有創意而又充滿童真. May be my English is that poor!

After reading Edexp's postings (I have to read them to him, since his ability to read Chinese, esp traditional Chinese is not so good. Yeah! It is another point for Edexp to attack SIS!), my son was very upset and hurt. He felt that he was not trusted. It took me quite some time to calm him down. I also need to teach him on cyber-safety and cyber-bullying.

We all know that internet is PG. This incidence even makes me feel this forum is not suitable for children. Isn't it sad for BK which is so call 親子網站!

Agree! Otherwise you will drop dead before the school start. The Principal is a Singaporean and you will hear her speech with Singapore accent in the orientation.

I take this paragraph as a complement. Thank you. However, I don't agree to your second last sentence. At least, I don't think they are over disciplined. I think this may be due to the fact that he likes reading, esp non-fictions. He has also finished reading some classic by Twain, Dickens, Hemmingway, and whole series of Roald Dahl. He even read the Bible although he said he believed in evolution not creation. However, he is no novelist (so calm down Edexp!).

No need for you to apolgise. You are always of support to him when some others are questioning that he is an adult. This makes him feel much better!

it is pretty sad to hear the discussion end up in this way.
On one hand, I do appreciate your son's contributions. Please keep it up!
On the other hand,  it is a typical example of cyber-bullying; perfectly showing the dark side of a self-called open-minded but merely a hopeless IS parent.
no matter how he transforms into any forms, using Chinese or English, any kinds of writing style, he is the one and only one expert with the best points in the world and everybody has to worship him. Otherwise, you should go to the hell directly.
In my mind, parents with such behavior are one of the worst quality persons i have ever seen.

I just look at this thread and see what information is given about SIS. It turns out that a lot of discussions about a boy - some good and some bad. Is it worth continuing such discussion?  

My Q: Where did the kids go to when finsihing their study in SIS secondary school? To continue Uni study in Singapore? Australia?
