該信還有兩句，這並非我加入的，我只是引述："尹議員亦在衝向主席台時撞到另一名立法會人員鄭永華的身體，襲擊了鄭先生。
There are just two more sentences that I have not yet read out . They are not added by me and I am only citing them from the letter Hon WAN also assaulted another officer of the LegCo namely CHENG Wing - wah when he dashed towards the Presidents pedestal and bumped into the body of Mr CHENG
林議員和尹議員的審訊需要上述證人的證據，並可能涉及當時立法會會議期間會議廳發生的事件。
The evidence of the above - named witnesses will be necessary in the trial of Hon LAM and Hon WAN and may involve events which had happened in the Chamber while the Council meeting was held
" 上述便是律政司刑事檢控科向立法會提出的所有理由，便是這一段說話。
What I have just read out are all the reasons put forward to the Legislative Council by the Prosecutions Division of DoJ . The reasons are all stated in this paragraph
最大的分別是，今次律政司是根據《條例》作出檢控，而我們認為當局不應引用《條例》來控告議員。
The biggest difference is that this time DoJ has instituted prosecution under PP Ordinance and we hold that the authorities should not invoke PP Ordinance to lay charges against the Members
當他上到法庭時，雙方可在法官面前對質，而我認為我們沒有理由阻止這事。
When the case is taken to court both sides can confront each other in front of the judge and I think we have no reason to stop this from happening
在梁國雄案中，當局是根據《條例》第17c條控告梁國雄藐視罪。
In the case of LEUNG Kwok - hung he was charged with contempt under section 17c of PP Ordinance
大家剛才也提及，他當時是搶時任發展局副局長馬紹祥的文件。
As Members also mentioned earlier on he had grabbed a document from the then Under Secretary for Development Eric MA
過去的案件，即"梁游"案及鄭松泰案並沒有涉及《條例》，而今次律政司卻引用《條例》第19b條作出檢控，即："襲擊、干預、騷擾、抗拒或妨礙任何正在執行職責 的立法會人員"。
In the past case of Sixtus LEUNG and YAU Wai - ching and that of CHENG Chung - tai PP Ordinance was not involved whereas in this case prosecution was instituted under section 19b of PP Ordinance which reads assaults interferes with molests resists or obstructs any officer of the Council while in the execution of his duty
因此，我希望議員或建制派議員明白並清楚分辨兩者，不要將這些事混為一談。
Therefore I hope that Members or the pro - establishment Members will understand and distinguish between the two situations and will not lump them together
正正由於今次律政司刑事檢控科將兩個理由混為一談，對議員作出檢控，並向立法會申請許可讓有關職員出庭作證，所以我不贊同批准許可，我會支持張超雄議員今天提出的議案。
As the Prosecutions Division of DoJ has lumped the two reasons together in laying charges against the Members and in applying for leave of the Legislative Council for the staff members concerned to give evidence in court I therefore do not agree to giving the leave . I will support the motion proposed by Dr Fernando CHEUNG today
我們今天使用的電話與50年前的電話比較，差別很大。
Today we have cars as a means of transport when 50 years ago we were using horse - drawn carriages and rickshaws in Hong Kong . The phones we use today are vastly different from those we had 50 years ago
大家可以看到科技的進步及社會的變化。
We can see how technology has evolved and how the society has changed
我們要因應不同情況及不同年齡的學生作出決定，不能一概而論。
We should take into account different circumstances and students of different ages in making decisions instead of making generalizations
現時香港教育被公認為填鴨式教育，是一種傳統學制。
Hong Kongs present education system is generally considered a form of spoon - feeding and traditional education
現時很多學生將要升讀大學的時候，仍不知道自己想做甚麼，因而產生不確定感和感到悲哀，不知道自己將來想做甚麼是很悽慘的。
Nowadays many students go to university without an idea of what they want to do which leads to feelings of uncertainty and sadness . It is really miserable not to know what you want to do in your future
主席，我動議我經修改的修正案，進一步修正經毛孟靜議員修正的李慧琼議員議案。
President I move that Ms Starry LEEs motion as amended by Ms Claudia MO be further amended by my revised amendment
主席，我動議我經修改的修正案，進一步修正經陳健波議員修正的陳振英議員議案。
President I move that Mr CHAN Chun - yings motion as amended by Mr CHAN Kin - por be further amended by my revised amendment
主席，我首先要多謝李慧琼議員的原議案，以及8位同事的修正案。
President I must first express my gratitude for Ms Starry LEEs original motion and the amendments proposed by eight Members
主席，在社會發展的過程中，學生和教育都是重要的一環，我認為香港未來取決於下一代的教育和人才的流動。
President students and education are important aspects in the process of social development . I think that Hong Kongs future depends on the education of the younger generation and the flows of talents
政府在教育方面，確實下了不少工夫，投入了大量資源，但香港教育的競爭力卻未有隨之提高，究竟問題出在哪裏呢？
The Government has indeed made much effort and devoted considerable resources in education yet Hong Kongs education has not gained much competitive edge from that . What exactly is the problem?
現時大型補習社大行其道，差不多我認識的每一位高中學生都曾經報讀。
Large - scale tutorial schools are excessively popular . Almost every senior secondary student whom I know have enrolled in these schools
正因為香港的教育以考試為核心，中、小學校的教學都以考核內容作為基礎，才會衍生以應考為目標的教育模式。
It is precisely owing to Hong Kongs examination - oriented education system that secondary and primary schools have tailored their lessons around examination content which is what has given rise to a teaching - to - the - test education
正如我們經常說，一味以考試為主導的教育制度，是學生壓力的來源。
The examination - oriented education system as what we often say is a source of stress on students
就此，我再次要求全面檢討中學文憑試制度，對主科課程進行增減，紓緩學生的沉重壓力。
With this I reiterate my call for an overall review of the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination to introduce new or remove existing compulsory subjects to alleviate the pressure on students
現在的教育問題不僅來自考試壓力，更加來自行之已久的單向教學模式，阻礙了學生在求學階段發掘自己的興趣和長處，以致他們完成6年的中學學位課程只懂應對考試。
The current problems in education have stemmed not only from the pressure from exams but also from the long - standing one - way teaching which deterred students from exploring their interests and strengths at school age resulting in students who are only good at exams after completing the six - year secondary curriculum
現時，社會不僅需要一群只會背誦和考試的人，更需要學懂處理問題，能夠獨當一面的人。
Nowadays our society needs people who are more than being able to learn by rote and pass exams but also capable of resolving problems on their own
所以，我認為教育局常說要推動全人發展和全方位學習，只是自說自話，多年倡導卻成效不彰，一直為學校及教育界所詬病。
The Education Bureau frequently talks about promoting whole - person development and life - wide learning but such statements are merely arbitrary and have proved to be ineffective despite years of advocacy . Such empty talks have all along been criticized by schools and the education sector
主席，社會日新月異，但香港的教育思維仍然停留在上一個世紀。
President while society is ever - changing Hong Kongs notion of education is still stuck in the last century
傳統的教育訓練已經不能夠滿足現有的行業需要，有必要改善，有必要推行多元化教育。
Traditional modes of education and training can no longer cater for the needs of various sectors in the present day . Improvements are required and the promotion of diversification of education is necessary
主席，國際學校為何會受社會各界朋友趨之若鶩呢？
President why are international schools so attractive among various strata of society?
除了師資及英語教學之外，據我觀察，更重要的是其課程內容。
As far as my observation goes apart from the quality of their teaching staff and their use of English as the teaching medium the more obvious attraction is their curriculum
相比起香港的灌輸式教育，歐美教學模式採取更主動、更自由和更多互動的學習方式，而不少研究發現，這種模式相對成功，值得我們借鏡。
Contrary to the spoon - fed education in Hong Kong the Western model of education adopts a more proactive flexible and interactive approach to learning . According to many research findings the Western model is relatively more successful and can serve as a useful reference for Hong Kong
所以，我認同李慧琼議員所言，應嘗試在本地津貼學校引入適合的國際課程及其教育模式，取長補短，逐步試行。
I therefore agree with Ms Starry LEE that we should draw on and pilot an appropriate international curriculum mode of education in local subsidized schools
國際課程其中一個核心元素是有創意和創新，給予學生很大的自主權，參與不同團體及實踐活動，從中培養他們建立個人的思考和創新的能力，這正正是現時教育所缺乏的。
A core component of an international curriculum is to foster creativity and innovation by giving students a higher degree of autonomy in participating in different group and hands - on activities so as to cultivate students ability to think independently and innovate on their own which is precisely what is missing in our education at present
此外，我知道議會和社會各界均非常關注通識教育，我認為通識教育也是時間進行"驗身"，看看通識教育的內容能否真正達到當年教育局說的"擴闊知識基礎和視野"，從而聯繫不同學科的知識，融會貫通。
Also I know that the Council and various sectors of the community are very concerned about Liberal Studies . To me it is time for a review of the Liberal Studies curriculum to examine whether it is truly capable of achieving what the Education Bureau intended which is to broaden students knowledge base and horizons so that they can make connections with and integrate the knowledge across different disciplines
我想舉出一個例子：早前颱風山竹襲港，很多學生只關注颱風對政府施政和媒體的影響，但他們有否作出過全方位思考，例如從天文角度出發討論颱風的成因，或是討論如何維護漁農業，或是討論颱風對樹木的影響呢？
I would like to give an example . When Typhoon Mangkhut hit Hong Kong many students were only concerned about its impact on public administration and the media . Did they consider the situation with all - round thinking such as about the astronomical causes of the typhoon ways to maintain the agriculture and fisheries industries or the impact of the typhoon on trees?
所以，我希望藉着今次議案呼籲政府從速檢討現時"填鴨式"教育的問題，盡快落實各項具體的多元教育措施，為我們的下一代創造更好的學習環境。
Through this motion I hope to call on the Government to expeditiously review the problems brought by the spoon - fed education and to expedite the implementation of specific measures to establish diversified education so that a better learning environment for our younger generation can be recreated
主席，我十分希望教育局局長能夠聽到這些來自民間的意見，進一步完善我們的教育制度。
President I sincerely hope that the Secretary for Education will listen to public opinions and further improve our education system
律政司根據《立法會條例》第7條及《議事規則》第90條，向立法會請求給予特別許可，以在有關香港特別行政區訴林卓廷及尹兆堅一案的刑事法律程序中，就立法會會議程序提供證據。有關請求已印載於會議議程內。
The Department of Justice has made a request under section 7 of the Legislative Council Ordinance and Rule 90 of the Rules of Procedure for special leave of the Council to give evidence of Council proceedings in the criminal proceedings of HKSAR v LAM Cheuk - ting WAN Siu - kin Andrew as printed on the Agenda
根據《議事規則》第902條，這項請求經列入會議議程，除非本會藉任何議員在今次會議動議無經預告的議案，決定拒絕給予許可，否則本會須當作已命令給予許可。
In accordance with Rule 902 of the Rules of Procedure RoP upon placing the request on the Agenda the Council shall be deemed to have ordered that the leave be granted unless on a motion moved without notice at this meeting by any Member and the Council determines that such leave shall be refused
是否有議員想動議議案？
Does any Member wish to move the motion?
代理主席，感謝你動議有關"落實多元教育紓緩學生及家長壓力"的議案。
Deputy President thank you for moving the motion on Implementing diversified education to alleviate the pressure on students and parents
我們曾在兒童權利小組委員會討論過類似議案。
We have discussed a similar motion at the Subcommittee on Childrens Rights
事實上，我們更特別就考試和功課壓力下的兒童權利舉行過一次公聽會。
In fact we have even held one public hearing specifically on the rights of children under pressure from examinations and homework
香港的小朋友相當幸福，他們有豐富的物質、優厚的經濟環境、良好的師資及不俗的校園。
The children in Hong Kong are really blessed with their abundance of resources strong economic environment high - quality teachers and nice campuses
政府整體投放到教育的資源，往往也是排第一位。
The total amounts of resources allocated by the Government to education have often ranked first
在一個看似經濟先進、物質發達、投放教育資源不太弱的環境之下，小朋友理應很優秀、很快樂，而且有機會發揮所長。
Given the apparently advanced economy abundance of resources and high input of educational resources our children should be very excellent and very happy and they should also have the opportunity to give full play to their strengths
但是，我們往往發現，香港的小朋友愁眉苦臉。
However we often notice that children in Hong Kong are grim - faced
他拍了一整天，而他的團隊亦前往不同學校拍攝，嘗試捕捉學生開心的樣子。
He had been shooting for the whole day and his team had also gone to different schools trying to capture the happy face of students
此外，公聽會上有意見指出，原來小朋友最缺乏的是睡眠和玩樂時間。
In addition there were views at the public hearing that what children lacked the most was time for sleeping and playing
現時學生就讀全日制學校，課後的日程排得密密麻麻，周末又刻意被安排更多功課，讓他們更加充實。
Students are currently studying in whole - day schools and they have been arranged a fully packed schedule after school . On weekends they have been deliberately given more homework to make them busier
學生疲於奔命，真的疲倦不堪。
Students have been worn out and they are really exhausted
我20多年前由美國回港，我最大的孩子當時在美國唸完小學一年級。
I returned to Hong Kong from the United States more than 20 years ago after my oldest child had completed the first grade of elementary school in the United States
我回港後第一件事是為他申請入讀本地主流學校。
After returning to Hong Kong the first thing I did was to enrol him in a local mainstream school
他最初很不習慣，例如語言、文化等各方面，但他遇到好老師，最初二、三年級過得頗愉快。
At first he could not quite get used to the school life such as the language and culture but the good teachers he encountered in Primary 2 and Primary 3 made his school life very pleasant
學校不斷操練，他帶回家的功課，我們每晚也要督促他完成。
As the school kept drilling students we had to supervise the completion of his homework every night
每天放學回家後，就和我太太展開角力。
After returning home from school every day he would have a struggle with my wife
我相信這種經驗，香港每一個有小朋友正在唸本地主流學校的家庭，也可能經歷過。
I believe that every Hong Kong family with a child studying in a local mainstream school may have similar experience
我們也開始擔心，是否把他迫得太緊？
We then started to worry if we had pushed him too hard
不過，嘗試數年後，我真的沒有辦法持續下去。
However after trying for a few years I really could not find any way to continue with this plan
我有幸在大學教書，因而有條件和經濟能力當年學費也沒有這麼貴為他報讀英基中學。
Fortunately since I was teaching in a university I had the ability and financial means to enrol him in an ESF school the school fee of which back then was not as high as it is nowadays
然而，香港有多少家庭可以做到？
However how many families in Hong Kong can afford that?
他轉校後，整個生活改變了，家庭關係有所改善，他亦開心了。
After he had changed school his entire life changed our family relationship improved and he was also happier
為甚麼我們耗用大量公帑及聘請眾多專家投入教育，結果我們提供的教育卻令小朋友感到壓迫？
Despite our allocation of considerable public funds and engagement of numerous experts to the education sector the education we have provided has ended up putting pressure on children . What is the reason for that?
所以，入讀大學是所有家長的期望，卻未必是小朋友的期望。
Therefore it is the hope of all parents but not necessarily their children to enter a university
大家都知道，這是教育的"大躍進"，這是教育質素的全民"大煉鋼"。
As we all know this is a great leap forward for education and a mass steel campaign of education quality
免費讀大學是罪嗎？
Is it a crime to study at university for free?
幼稚園都要入名校，然後"一條龍"直上大學。
They hope that their children can be admitted to a prestigious kindergarten and then go all the way up to a university
功課最重要的當然是要有好的質素，而非要小朋友操練，應對其學習有幫助。
Most importantly homework should certainly be of high quality which is conducive to learning rather than focusing on drilling students
主席，我根據《議事規則》第902條，動議拒絕給予許可的議案。
President I move the motion under Rule 902 of the Rules of Procedure that the leave be refused
主席，我今天提出拒絕給予許可的議案，主要是維護立法會的尊嚴，維護立法會議員在議會上的表達自由，以及我是原則上反對行政當局在這宗案件，通過司法程序介入立法會的工作。
President I move the motion that the leave be refused today mainly to uphold the dignity of the Legislative Council safeguard the freedom of expression of Members of the Legislative Council in meetings and express my opposition in principle that the Administration has intervened in the work of the Legislative Council through a judicial process in this case
主席，我當然明白，在提出拒絕給予許可的議案的原因時，我不能夠談及整宗個案的案情或仔細的情況，不過，我亦難免要描述一下案情，當中有很多已是公開的事實，我亦不會就案情的優劣或有關法律的角度作出任何討論。
President I certainly understand that in giving the reasons for moving this motion that the leave be refused I cannot talk about the facts or details of the case . However I will inevitably touch on some facts of the case many of which are already available to the public; but I will not discuss the merits of the case or the legal perspectives at all
這宗案件涉及我們兩位同事，林卓廷議員和尹兆堅議員。
This case involves two of our colleagues Mr LAM Cheuk - ting and Mr Andrew WAN
他們因為去年6月13日在立法會會議上的一些行為而被控，當中涉及《立法會條例》第19b條，涉嫌妨礙立法會人員執行職務。
They have been prosecuted for certain acts committed during the meeting of the Legislative Council held on 13 June last year . Each of them is suspected of obstructing an officer of the Legislative Council in the execution of his duty contrary to section 19b of the Legislative Council Ordinance
另外，尹兆堅議員亦都被加控一項普通襲擊罪。
Mr Andrew WAN has been further charged with the offence of Common Assault
主席，為何我們今天會在這裏討論議員在議會上是否准許一些人就一項司法程序作證或提供證據？
President why are we discussing here in this Council whether we shall permit some people to give or provide evidence in relation to a judicial process?
這其實與立法會的權力有關。
In fact the reason is related to the powers of the Legislative Council
立法會有制衡行政機關權力的職能，在一般先進社會的民主制度下實行三權分立，每一個權力本身都有一定的主權。
The Legislative Council has the function of checking the powers of the executive . Under the separation of powers in any democratic system of advanced societies in general each branch has a certain degree of autonomy
所以，在立法會會議廳內或當議員行使職權時，其實他們會受到特別的保障，令議員可以有能力制衡其他權力，這點在《基本法》已清楚訂明。
Thus when Members are in the Chamber of the Legislative Council or when they are performing their duties they will receive special protection so that they are empowered to check the other branches . This is clearly provided in the Basic Law
行政當局要向立法會負責，就是這種制衡的關係。
The fact that the executive is accountable to the Legislative Council demonstrates the balance of powers between them
如果沒有特權，立法會便無法制衡另一個權力。
If no privilege is provided to Members of the Legislative Council the Legislative Council will not be able to check the powers of another branch
這個權力究竟是指甚麼？
What exactly are the powers of the Legislative Council?
這些特權是白紙黑字寫明的，全部都是基於當時的立法精神。
These privileges were written in black and white and all of them were based on the spirit of the law at the time
在回歸後，《立法局條例》也自動失效。
After the reunification the old Legislative Council Ordinance of the colonial Government lapsed automatically
他們不會因在立法會或其他屬下委員會席前發表的言論或所提交的報告書而遭受提出任何民事或刑事的法律訴訟，同時免遭逮捕。
No civil or criminal proceedings shall be instituted against any Member for words spoken before or written in a report to the Council or a committee; and no Member shall be liable to arrest
很清楚，立法原意就是要令立法會議員在會議廳內有自由、不受威脅、不受刑責的限制下暢所欲言，表達他們的政見，表達他們代表市民想在這個議會提出的意見。
Very clearly the legislative intent is to give Members of the Legislative Council freedom of speech in the Chamber so that they can speak freely to express their political views and relay the views of the public without any threat and restraint from criminal liability
裁判官說這條文的適用範圍其實是指其他人，而議員的言行應受特權的保護。
The magistrate said that the provision is applicable to other people and the speeches and acts of Members should be protected by privileges
如果我們的言行受到干預，便是不適當地限制議員在這個議事廳的表達自由。
If there was intervention in our speeches and acts then our freedom of expression in this Chamber would be inappropriately restrained
因此，很清楚，主席，今天正正就是發生了相同的事情。
Therefore very clearly President a similar incident has occurred now
《條例》本來就是用以保障議員的表達自由不受刑責的限制，今天竟然用作控告我們，又說我們妨礙立法會人員執行職務，執行公職。
The Ordinance intends to protect the freedom of expression of Members so that it will not be restrained by criminal liability . Today however the Administration has surprisingly used the Ordinance to prosecute Members and alleged that Members have obstructed some officers of the Legislative Council in the execution of their public duties
我們通過選舉出任議員，受到公眾的認許，經過公開、透明的程序加入立法會。
We became Members through elections we have mandate from the public and we joined the Legislative Council through an open and transparent procedure
我們整個社會的規矩就是在這個地方，我們必須在不受刑責的限制下，有充分的表達自由。
The rule of the whole society is that in this very place we should have adequate freedom of expression without any restraint from criminal liability
我們當然有《議事規則》，《議事規則》亦說明當議員行為不檢時，主席有權請該位議員離開，驅逐他離場，沒有問題。
Certainly we have the Rules of Procedure which provide that if the conduct of a Member is disorderly the President has the power to ask the Member to leave and remove him from the Chamber . There is no problem with it
不過，當該位議員不願意離開，他以和平方式抵抗時，是否等於我們的保安人員可以用武力方式處理和平的抗議？
Nevertheless when the Member is not willing to leave and resist in a peaceful manner does it mean that our security officers can deal with the peaceful resistance with force?
當武力由他方開始，然後議員在議事廳內因為這些表達而受到刑責，這基本上已經違反《條例》，怎麼可能是這樣？
When force was initiated from their side but criminal liability was imposed on Members because of their expressions in the Chamber it has basically contravened the provision of the Ordinance . How can that be possible?
這是我當時在場看到的情況，無人主動作出暴力的行為，但這宗案件將會是第一宗在完全不涉及暴力行為的情況下，議員因為在議事廳議事時發生的事情而受到拘控。
According to what I saw at the scene no one had initiated any violence but this would become the first case in which Members were arrested and prosecuted because of what happened in the Chamber without any involvement of violence
這件事情已抵觸我的底線。
This case has challenged my bottom line of tolerance
為了維護立法會的尊嚴，為了維護立法會議員自由表達的權力，我必須在此提出拒絕給予這項許可，不能讓行政當局以司法方式介入我們立法的程序，更不應在此作出任何政治檢控。
In order to uphold the dignity of the Legislative Council and in order to safeguard the right to freedom of expression of Members of the Legislative Council I must propose that the leave be refused . We cannot let the executive authorities intervene into our legislative proceedings through a judicial process . More importantly we should not allow political prosecutions to be instituted
我在此亦對主席閣下表示遺憾。
Here I would also express my regret about the President
主席，我動議通過印載於議程內我的議案。
President I move that my motion as printed on the Agenda be passed
主席，今天我動議這議案的原因，是因為看到身邊很多家長，為了子女的學業而承受非常巨大的壓力。
President I move this motion today because I have noticed that many parents are suffering huge pressure from educating their children
孩子出生後，家長便忙碌不斷地為子女報讀學前幼兒遊戲小組、補習班、面試班，做好CV，目標是入讀心儀的幼稚園、小學、中學，以至升讀大學。
After a child is born the parents will be busy enrolling the child in pre - school playgroups tuition classes and interview preparation classes; and preparing curricula vitae CV so that the child will be admitted to the kindergarten the primary school the secondary school and even the university they like
不單家長壓力"爆煲"，小朋友承受的壓力，亦極其沉重。
Not only are the parents overstretched the children are also under immense pressure
根據香港研究協會於2014年的數據，香港學生每星期的學習時數，可以高達62.2小時。
According to the figures provided by the Hong Kong Research Association in 2014 the average number of learning hours per week for Hong Kong students is as high as 62.2 hours
一般人工作的時數大約是每星期40至44或48小時，可見學生較我們工作的時數還要多。
Compared with the average number of work hours per week of employees in general which is 40 to 44 or 48 hours students work more hours than we do
另外，根據聖雅各福群會發表的報告，以10分為滿分，有33%的受訪學童的壓力指數高達7至10分，當中有14%的學童壓力更高達10分，即是每7名學生中，便有1名學生壓力"爆煲"。
In addition according to a report published by St James Settlement 33 % of the student interviewees scored 7 to 10 in the pressure index with 10 being the highest score and the score of 14 % of these students was as high as 10 . In other words one out of ten students are overstretched
新聞不時報道有學生因為無法面對壓力而輕生或做傻事，真的很傷心。
From time to time there would be news reports of students committing suicides or taking rash actions because they were unable to cope with their pressure which is very saddening
主席，作為家長，其實很難改變香港的大文化、大環境，很多人只有跟着現有做法走，就是盡能力為子女提供最好的教育。
President in fact it is very difficult for parents to change the main culture or general atmosphere of Hong Kong . Many people just follow the current practice and endeavour to provide the best education for their children
有些家長選擇做"虎媽"，為子女報讀"雞精班"或做好CV，以期給他們最好的教育，因為他們相信這樣對子女最好。
Some parents have chosen to act as tiger moms . They would enrol their children in intensive tuition classes or prepare good CV for them with a view to giving them the best education because they believe these are best for their children
亦都有一群中產家長、寧願支付多些學費，讓子女入讀國際學校，因為他們不想做"虎媽"或"虎爸"，只想子女開心學習。
Another group of middle - class parents who do not want to become tiger moms or tiger dads would rather pay higher school fees and send their children to international schools . They simply want their children to learn happily
有些家長相信海外的教育更適合子女，或對他們日後在香港發展以至其他方面的發展更好。
Some parents believe that overseas education is more suitable for their children or it will benefit their children more in their career development or other pursuits in Hong Kong
所以，越來越多精英、中產家長、有能力的家長，用腳來投票，就是將子女送到國際學校，以至本會經常討論國際學校學額不足。
Thus an increasing number of elite middle - class parents who have the means have voted with their feet by sending their children to international schools . As a result an inadequate supply of international school places has become a frequent topic of discussion in this Council
其實，國際學校學額不足的實際原因，就是越來越多中產家長用腳來投票，將子女送到國際學校就讀。
In fact the real reason for an inadequate supply of international school places is that an increasing number of middle - class parents have voted with their feet by sending their children to international schools
