Thank you for sharing your views. Some additions or supplements to the points you shared:
1. You are a discerning parent and your kids will succeed wherever they go. By accepting a fee-paying school, you are freeing up a valuable primary school place to someone else whose needs are greater than your kid. You are in fact creating more happiness in the world.
I am not sure whether releasing an aided place will create more happiness than releasing a fee-paying place. I cannot measure the happiness of a middle-class family vs a modest family for fee-paying place and an aided place, respectively, released by me.
2. KYS is whole day, whereas WY is half-day. A big difference to me because I want my kids to enjoy a full-day experience.
Noted and understood.
3. KYS is co-educational, where WY is single sex. I think boys like girls, and at the age of 5, I'd choose a co-educational primary school for my son.
Noted and understood.
4. Teachers tend to be exhausted for teaching morning and afternoon classes in aided schools. Fee-paying schools tend to pay their teachers better, who in turn tend to have more energy to give more attention to your kids.
Based on my knowledge, WY's morning class teachers and afternoon class teachers are different , so the issue of tiredness for teaching all day does not exist. The principal and vice-principal do have to attend to both sessions.
5. The fact that even as an old boy, you have hesitation about WY (and your friends all send their kids elsewhere) speaks for itself. Hong Kong's education is in a mess. You pay and you may have a greater say - because if you don't like the fee-paying school later on, you can always change or move or migrate.
I should have mentioned that the brother of my friend (both are alumni of WY) sent his son to WY as well, though he had his son and himself baptised earlier to earn a secured place, meaning he was determined to go to WY. I have concerns for WY as much as for KY as well, though on different issues.
6. I assume your son likes KYS, and his personalities fit into the philosophy of that school.
He likes KY because of his personal experience on the interview day, and he also likes WY because of my description and the fact that I graduated there (i.e. he has a "finished product" to observe). |
