Thank you for the sharing. I concur with your opinions.

Nowadays, tertiary education is already a basic requirement for better careers. People need to pursue post-graduate diplomas, master degrees, PhD... That is life-long learning. Don't push the kids too early, too much, too harsh and they will lose their motives for learning.

Hence, I wish my kid to enjoy his school life and has a good foundation for future study -- good language, good self-learning skills, curiosity/interests for knowledge, etc...

I don't doubt SSCPS's academic standards. In fact, I observed that many parents of SSCPS's students were winners themselves in Hong Kong's educational system. They should know pretty well how their kids can compete successfully in this "game" if they want to.

I think nowadays nearly all schools gave too much workloads on children, who need to face an adult's pressure. How can our kids have happy learning?

Can't imagine how's the future of Hk under this so ...

In old days, when we were young, the parents didn't care much about our school result.  They didn't know the time for quiz, dictation, test etc.  We still grow up.  Now, I can still recall and enjoy the old days happy life.  

Remember,the most important is kid's health.  One will regret if his/her kid can climb up to be the top sutduent but not healty and not happy.

Similar for adult, you cannot earn all the money.  You scracrify health to work hard but when you are old and look back, you just want to use money to get back health.  But it is too late then ......

Agreed.
An old boy of SSC, a famous doctor, Dr. Tony Shu-kam MOK, had also said that his school life in SSC is one of the happiest and most momorable time for him.

Who is Jobs in SSCPS?

PhdJessiema...............:D,  just kidding.

You mean the head teacher?

thomasha

May I ask how you got the number of applicants figures, especially for 2010?  I have tried searching everywhere but in vain.

That's why I am quite jealous of the kids in SSCPS.

SSCPS = APPLE
SPCCPS = GE
DG = MICROSOFT
DB = IBM

Which schools have growth and more prospects? Surely, SSCPS has well-positioned itself for train ...

PhdJessiema...............:D,  just kidding.

when PhdJessiema mentioned SSCPS = Apple, I wonder if the current head teacher has the same abilities as Jobs....

I have three friends, all their boys applied SPCCPS, DBSPD and SSCPS (n DSS & provate primary school). Their status for 2nd interview.

            SPCCPS  DBSPD  SSCPS
A              Y            Y         Y
B              N           N         Y
C              N           N         Y

ABC are either professional or business owner, moms are full-time housewives.

Is boy A very smart?

yes, we cannot simply look at the figure.  E.g. for TSL (陳守仁), 3,800 applicants compete for 150 places i.e. 3.9%, does it mean the best school in town ?

Besides, it seems that there is something wrong with the stat. when I read the previous posts, not to mention whether the source of the number of applicants is accurate.
E.g.  SPCCPS     150/2500(mixed gender) = 6% chance for each child regardless of sex
You CAN"T just do 6%/2 = 3% for each gender.
Because you don't know the proportion of boys/girls among the 2500 applicants. For instance, if there are 1300 girls and assuming that the sch will take in 75 girls (coz 150 new p.1), then the chance for girls will be 75/1300 = 5.8%, and it will be 75/1200=6.3% for boys then given that the sch. wants to have similar no. of B and G in each grade.

Similarly, surely you can't say, oh, if DBS is not a boy school, its application number will be doubled = 2300 * 2 = 4600

Thanks for all the info. anyways.

You just twisted other's point, is it your Phd research topic??????

My point is so simple, SSCPS still not upto the par as SPCCPS and DBSPD, no matter how you hard sell the school. That's why I didn't say who is old boy and their social status.
