Lick Hung - a good school?

[william_usj]

My daughter and son are lick hung student, std 3 and std 1.
Recently, my daughter told me that during the morning assembly, the head master of Lick hung said that “ those student that can’t catch up with their work or poor with exam result” should move out from lick hung and try other school.
I am surprise with the statement. If this is true (the HM did said that), I am thinking how on earth an educated (may be not) HM able to say so?
I clarified with one of the teacher and confirmed that the HM did mention the same statement during the morning assembly.
PIPG meeting is coming and I think parent should attend and give this arrogant HM a lesson.

:mad:

this is a bad HM....and anyway what's so great about Lick Hung? :(

[Shaneburger]

I heard LH was beaten by Tan Cheng Lok of Wawasan in UPSR last year ...true?

a good school should be a school that can turn weaker students into good students. Benchmark should be set in that way, else the weaker students will always be neglected.

[pucman]

I can understand the need to be competitive but the HM should say it in a polite way.

Good schools need to be competitive.

[USJ27Resident]

I can understand the need to be competitive but the HM should say it in a polite way..

Arrogance breed contempt...

Happens everywhere la...

Only way to 'hantam' these fellas back is to be pro-active in the school affairs and 'show' the school you mean business... heck, even in my daughter's school - the YDP/PIBG was a 'chest thumper' but when kena sounded about 'ethics','principles' and 'personal intregrity' oredi compromised... he quietly decided to step down... ... but that too, because his backing/support gone. The Headmistress oso kena sounded !! I guess after she realised what trouble she could get into, if she backed the YDP's nonsense... she stopped backing him leh...

Not thing great, only bunch of arrogant teachers? We as parent can’t do anything, can we?
Same thing with Lick Hung... if you keep quiet ~ I'll bet this HM is gonna have all of you - for breakfast, lunch AND dinner.... and shaft anything and everything he fancies, down your throats - in the name of Lick Hung reputation and records... :rolleyes:

[fRaNkY]

Think of it positively....

What do you expect from a person being doing the same thing his whole life?

I think teachers (especially stuck teaching in Primary school for so many years) only know teaching..... would he know much about PR, Communications, advertising... or even photography?.... maybe some or a hand full.... They only get to go to short courses for short period.. if too long... parents complaint ..... how? They are only humans.....

Even minister can say and do stupid things ....

Well, the arrogant part... when u face with arrogant parents.... you have to be arrogant too. If you (the teachers) are to timid.... the parents will bulldoze them over...

Its tough in LH.... my daughter goes there too... with so much homework, activites, tuitions :eek: ...... only kids can tahan pressure.... can survive.

Go to the PIBG and see what happens.... :confused: LC needs check and balance!

Well said, Franky... I think the HM just under pressured to push up the results and forgotten the humanity aspect. Parents should highlight this in the PIBG meeting but not in hostile manner. Let the HM clarifies himself then.

[USJ27Resident]

A catch .22 situation no? :p

parent timid... teacher bulldozes...

teacher timid pulak... parents bulldoze pulak...

dua-dua bulldozers? how leh... mebbe can use at the nearest highway project... :p

No la... actually, best to approach the HM and seek explaination/clarification to his statements... if still got 'arrogant' response... then one has every right to state his/her mind about the 'attitude'...

[besitai2007]

This has been the strategy of a lot of so-called "premier" schools. If there are non-performing students which will affect their performance in public exams, the students are often "pressured" by teachers, senior assistants and the HM to transfer to another school. This happens very often. When I was a senior assistant in the technical school in Melaka, we used to be the dumping ground of certain technical schools in other states. Often, the students would be transferred on the pretext of wanting to be near their relatives as most technical schools provide hostel facilities for some of their students.

[jmbeh]

some chinese "educationist" don't know the meaning of wholesome education or holistic education. They are getting more & more kiasu and exam-result oriented. All they care about is reputation & winning competitions;

Teaching to score straight As is actually very easy, but nurturing and shaping the right character is way more important & meaningful.

These teachers are like lost soul. but what to do, some parents are also like that. And this type of arrogant HM needs some sounding, what a disgrace & insult to the young ones.

By promoting their schools as the best school will ensure that the HM gets promoted faster up the hierachy. One sure fire way is the performance in PMR, SPM and STPM (percentage passes and number of As, maintaining 100% passes, etc). Believe me, when I was HM, you could see many HMs doing this. A lot of effort is done to impress the Pengarah through various means that will make you sick (for example, writing pantuns/gurindams in praise of the Pengarah and reciting them during meetings, praising the Pengarah during functions, and other things, I think you know.) As for me, being a Chinese HM, there is zilch chance of promotionlah. Just do my job and make the school a better place to educate my students. Ultimately, my reward is the appreciation of students, parents and teachers who recognise the efforts I have put in.

Well said and couldnt agree more....I've a daughter whom I hv registered her for primary 1 in Lick Hung next year and I'm seriously thinking whether I should do that....after hearing so much negative comments about the school pressuring kids to perform acadamically....

[Jey]

Is Lick Hung really a name of a school? :D
Where is it located?

[fRaNkY]

All the kiasuness and lousy students, teachers and hms..... all because of Malaysia's own doing.... all the policies, politics and wrong method used.... thrown in.... rojak.

It started deteriorate after A levels ... abolished.... change to stpm and spm...

The kirkby teachers were the best.... was taught by one in early eighties.

[Jennylim]

A friend's daughter recently accepted into one of the three best junior colleges in New York. She is only 14 years old, in order to prepare for the acceptance exam, she has to attend special classes which covered syllabus equivalent to our SPM.

The two Malaysian recently accepted by Harvard scored more than 2000 points in SAT 1 and SAT II exam.

PSD scholarship normally offer to the best result students(for non-bumi).

Kiasu or not, like it or not, this is how the society is. No good schools or Uni offer places to students having most fun in school.

[msiablueskies]

The school can change if they have good PIBG and Board of Directors. If you want change, you have to be in there to change. Do you want to stand for the election? PM me your name, I shall vote for you (if I can make it to the meeting).

I think the HM and teachers are under pressure, because Lick Hung seems to be the only Sekolah Cemerlang SJKC.

Last year Wawasan overtook Lick Hung in UPSR result, I think it was because the comparison criterion has changed.

HM of LC must be pround being selected to implement a 3 months trial of KSSR (enhancement of 3M). The new syllabus is said to be launched nationwide next year. So, parent with 2010 year 1 school going chirldren might want to seek his clarification on this.... as LC is only school that selected to "test" ALL the modules. Sound interesting.......... it might be probably true.

Be at PIBG and seek his experience and school finding on the on-going trial period to the selected year one class. So, your present would definitely be fruitful and informative one

[Oogway]

From what I understand, the Headmaster made the "remark" based on the context that parents had been complaining about the heavy load of homework given to the students. I feel in that in terms of homework, it was much worse under the previous headmistress and is currently similar to other Chinese schools in PJ, etc.

We also feel that the pr of the teachers can be improved but then again, it could sometimes be a language problem, i.e., if you do not speak Mandarin and they do not speak English well.

Is the PIBG conducted in Mandarin only?

[DennisWng]

Is Lick Hung really a name of a school? :D Hahaha...they should have spelt Lick as Lik but they did not...so..ahem...was that the direction you were going with your posting, my friend? :p

(Simply teasing. No malice intended. :D)

[tupai]

...

Mr Tan, the HM, held his very first PIBG meeting in both Mandarin & English. In fact he spoke about his first time ever having to have a PIBG meeting/election conducted in English! But he realised this is Subang Jaya. ..So the parents are supposedly more educated etcetec...BUT only if we the parents do our part!

Dont just bitch anonymously...ACT!

They are actually accommodating. I have met the previous Dragon lady HM (and tamed her nicely), the current HM Mr Tan, Mdm Wong (?) administrator, and the various class teachers for the past years! They refused to allow me to meet the discipline teacher at 1 time...but promised that they will sort out my bitch, over his "suppressing children's initiatives" action.

I reminded them the operative word is "TEACH". Not DICTATE! Else they will be called dictator NOT teacher.

Than you have to get your kid ready for the qualifying test : 100 questions in one hour. If your seven years old cries and refused to take this exam, that they will mark your kid as not a "smart" child.

Do you think this is a smart way to judge a seven years old kid? This is LH!!!
Two days back, I heard someone told me that the HM shouted to std 6 students “THIS IS THE BEST SCHOOL, BUT YOUR ALL ARE NOT THE BEST”. Please check with those have std 6 kids studying in LC.

[besitai2007]

A child should enjoy his/her childhood and should not be pressured at an early age to succeed. The school has become what it is because most parents are kiasu and want their child to be the best. They expect the school to ensure that their expectations are met. As a result the school caters to these parents and made the school a house of horrors for a growing child.

... to each his/her own.

My child was sounded by the class teacher as the "Number 1" for 2-3 yrs in a row...To the class teacher's narrow mind, the "Number 1" is in terms of having the most number of absent days from school! :mad:

Hahhahahaa...but my princess gets to go for island camping, snokelling & feeding coral fishes, ride Triple cork-screws in disneylands (yes! plural), drop from 100metre tower, drive around continents (yes! plural), catchlil' river silvery fish in ulu yam, ride motorcycle with wind in her face and flies on her teeth, enjoy glorious sunsets from 3 corners of the world, climb ancient ruins, admire centuries old art & crafts, puzzle by modern abstract art pieces, watch out for shooting stars in glittering nites, learn whatever limited constellation ....thats education in the raw! And having lotsa fun too!!!!!!!!

...and here's the icing: the teacher apologised for her remark when confronted. :)

Can I bring along my 2 boys(age 7 & 5)?

[blueginger]

Lick Hung is a good SJKC school...good enough for those staying as far as Kota Kemuning and Putra Heights to travel all the way...so good enough for mine in Subang Jaya here.

Over the years, Lick Hung had a dragon lady for their HM but up till 2 years ago the ex-Han Ming HM, Mr Tan Swee Huat has taken over. I must say the school has not been so `uptight` over all its rules and regulations since and it has in some ways affected the past couple of UPSR`s results too...

The parents used to have to attend school like twice a year or more to collect report cards and to meet up with the teachers...but since this HM has taken over, that has not taken place..unless your kid is so `teruk` in his/her work, then the parents` presence is required...guess that is less stress on the teachers as I know of one or two teachers who are utmost terrified at the thought of meeting a certain `lato` parent :D

I have attended at least 4 out of 6 PIBGs, albeit having another parent translating for me most of the time. But the last one was different as Mr Tan realised that SJ is very different from Puchong whereby the kids from SJ are mostly from english speaking families, hence the parents are mostly non-mandarin speaking, like me :o

My girl is in her final year at Lick Hung...phew...( more like relief to me ) but she hacked it thru...(despite being from `England` speaking home)...may not be in the top 10 but she has always maintained in the top 15 in her class of 50...and I am very, very proud of her.
Yes, she also attends all the extra classes and stays back till 4.10pm daily Mon- Fri and attends mandarin tuition 2 doors away every Saturday and Sunday but other that that she is free to have her TV and computer time for an hour or so after she finishes her homework....and she has always manage to finish her work in school in between classes and breaks, all these years....SO I am very baffled at some parents` grievances about their kids having to stay up till midnite inorder to finish homework...cos mine has always been in bed by 9pm nitely :confused:

So...YES!!! I guess it is really up to the kids (and of course the parents) to be ready to be schooled at Lick Hung but seriously, it is not so scary afterall.
If your kid is disciplined enough, Lick Hung is a breeze :p

And DO attend the PIBGs, especially for the `newbie` parents..it is informative and `entertaining` at times...but most of all, you can have your say eventhough you may not be on the `board` plus you can get to meet the teachers and the HM himself, shake their hands and make yourself known as a concerned and attentive parent, then you can air your views directly to the `horses` themselves....for I think the HM and the teachers will be either too stressed up and too busy to surf this website to know your `airs, views and grievances`... :D

So..see you there tomorrow??? Anyone???

[LouisChoo]

Lick Hung again ? 7 years ago when I tried to register my daughter into LH, the lady headmistress did ask for a donation. I did not gave any. Not able to get in as expected but instead allocated a Chinese Primary school in Sg Way ! Imagined poor little girl has to travel to and fro fm usj 8 to Sq Way ! Got meaning kah ! Appealed and was told if want National type school can get enroled one near usj 8 itself immediately ! Last, ths to Dato Lee Hwa Beng who fought for an extra class in Tan Cheng Lock.

So wat so special abt elite primary/secondary school ? I hv been General Manager for 10 years now and cannot see relation to success in corporate. Instead need to enrol to elite Universities and get a gd start in good company. Again academic can only open the doors, the rest still depends on your "lieu". If "mou lieu tou" only God can help la...

[monkey01]

Err....so what happened after the PIBG? I'm interested in knowing more abt this school b4 I enrol my kid. :)

[ssusj]

Many years ago,15 to be exact, when my wife went to Lick Hung to register for my eldest daughter , the first thing they check was my employment status which at that time i thought nothing of it as i just wrote down as Sales Exec (i was actually a Regional Manager working in a MNC). One look at it and she bluntly told my wife to apply at Chee Wen at SS17(at that time CW was only having 4 to 5 classes and sort of co-sharing the school with the National school ,now moved to USJ1) She (Registratin clerk) told her that they dont have any place for us. In fact she told us not to waste our time because we insisted on submitting the registration. to cut it short, we were bullied ,rundown and shamed by this typical Chinese Materialistic school with no genuine concern of assisting a fellow human (by looking down and by rejecting us, probably they are afraid we cannot afford to donate RM10,000). I REALLY hope after all these years they have changed. also hope they changed the registration clerk too and also glad to hear the HM is retired.
Thank God all my kids are now happily studying at Sri KL.

[Phres]

How can HM asks for "donation" Isn't this "illegal"? I am shocked as this is the first time hearing such practice...it's tantamount to "buying" a place for yr child.... :eek:

[maxima]

Corruptions do exist in some schools involving HM.

That's why there is now a National Parents Association to monitor this.

[Lau_utlang]

As a parent, one has to decide on the choice of school for their children, There are national, SRK(C), SRK(T), private schools. The choice are many. If Lick Hung is not your type chose the others. If you have enough dough go the Sri KL, APIIT, Sedaya, etc. All around Subang.

All Chinese schools need public funding, so there are many fund raising events. One need to ask if the donation is for school or for own pocket. As far as I know, Lick HUng has done a pretty good job with the donation given. Get real folks, money is needed to run the school and the funding from Govt is insufficient.

All my 3 kids studied (1 is still there) and I have no qualms about the school. My kids do not go to any tuition during the primary school days BUT have to do so during the 2ndary school.

One have to ask oneself if they have spent enough time with their kids and help them in their study or left it to the tuition centres around LIck Hung.

I personally think Lick Hung is a good school overall. I too recorded my job as a Sales Exec. though I was GM of a MNC. And No, I was not ask for any donation on registration of my children.

I put my occupation down as - Salesman :p

Wife's very secured occupation as - Housewife :eek: Should have put in 'Home Economist', more glam & impressive, no?

No one asked me for 'donation'. :confused: And of course, we donated and participated as much as possible in all the fund raisings over the past 5+years...But then again, We'r merely 'paying back' to the school and Lick Hung alumni/society for what the pioneering/earlier students&parents did/contributed/donated etcetcetc...

Glad to hear that not all were "rejected". At least there is some hope. My worry was everyone will be rejected if they dont prove their worth $$. At least give everyone a fair chance to submit the application and not totally reject it outright. Maybe for my case, on that particular day somehow or somewhat they dont like my wife face that's why they "rejected " our application since many of u confirmed that it wasnt the case. :)

[Lau_utlang]

Some maybe wanna live his/her dreams in their kiddos lah. Kesian (4 d kid) tapi Benar (4 d parent).

I am of the same thoughts as Tupai. But then to each his own. The brutal truth is that the world is getting flatter by the day and this is not a process started since WTO, it has been going flat for the centuries. This means economic survival of the fittest and education is the stepping stone. As a parent we can only guide, not force, our child to fulfil their full potential; be it in maths & science or liberal arts (or both)

[blueginger]

RE: Sri KL...I think they are not bothered by the status of the parents` occupation nor the looks of the wives..think it is more the colour of one`s $$$ that they are willing to look at!! :D

So long you can afford to fork out the $$$, your kid/s will get a place...no??? :rolleyes:

[Lau_utlang]

Sri KL looks and $$$ and the kid have to sit for entrance exam (yet no one complains, but Lick Hung?). if kid flunck say sayonara to Sri KL. You will need to try Sedaya, Heard they are desparate to fill the seats so all comers just have to flash $$$

That's exactly what I am trying to say all this while, maybe u misunderstood what I'm trying to put across. All schools should not look at one's status(wives looks included) when receiving the application. The question of whether u have the $$ or not does not arise. Let's look at things objectively, Or lets reverse our situation, you went to LC and u were rejected due to reasons mentioned earlier. How would you feel? Be honest ah! I am not against the school in fact I am quite proud of their achievement. I can only speak of my experience 15 yrs ago and as i mentioned earlier I hope they have changed. Instead of putting yourself in the other person shoes and try to understand what we went thru,(we actually were treated as such) we were made to look by some of u guys as if we are spinning some stories. What happen to genuine care and concern for a fellow human being? What's so wrong to lent a sympathetic ear? I guess "to each his/her own" rings true to some of the forumers here.

[blueginger]

Well ssusj, I may have misunderstood you re: Sri KL but your case was 15 years ago..and I guess they could have been alot more selective then, especially based on the area where you stayed at that time and there was no Chee Wen nor Wawasan school in Subang to take the load of LH.

But since 5 years ago, a friend of mine who is still staying at Taman Perindustrian Subang, near USJ 3 A to D area...had no trouble getting 2 kids into Lick Hung and they used that address ( and not someone else`s )..and they are also `normal` joes...not GMs, Eds or anything..
So I guess Lick Hung weren`t so selective after all...err..after your experience 15 years ago :D

[kensu]

Hey..
We are in USJ 2.. my kid got into LH in 96.... there was no donation, no test etc ..it was simple.. but maybe LH was not so popular then!!!!

Any I believe the allocation of places is also based on the addresses around SJ and USJ and they change regularly

End of the day, There is still a choice.. As a parent you can choose where you want to send the kids... more importantly is the guidance the parent provides during his education years....

You can show your money but still cannot get into Sri KL if there are fully enroll, especially at Secondary Level.

Well said by “kensu”, there are always choices! Parents can opt not to go to Lick Hung, but nevertheless LH is still a very good school in Subang Jaya as compare to other.

Jennylim had nicely pointed out that there tend to be stiff competition in real life, so anyone will need to choose the “best fit” for their kids. Be more constructive-leh and don’t simply generalize things!

Well, why the HM "solicit" for donation? for her? she makan duit? NO! its for the school.... for the hall....if your kids go to LH now.... your kids getting the benefit! They built a big hall... for who? for the HM? for the kids lar....

Well, my daughter goes to LH and I am staying at usj14... and next year my son goes. I didnt give any 10k sum. Now that the hall is complete, they are not all out to solicit donations anymore... maybe some concert, some funfair... ok lar. Last year my daughter learn the chinese yoyo, this year the flute... now some kinda dancing... Gobermen school where got?

So far I have no complains... Pressure kids yeah... at least my kids get to learn to take some pressure now and then ...when grown up...working time... sure no problem wan!

Lots of interviewee I interviewed cannot even take small small pressure ... sikit sikit.. I give up....I dowan the job :D

Where are this Mat Rempit, Mat ganja, mat mat come from? Why cant they take a proper job? Why cant they handle stress.... ask the Education minister lar... their education policy and UPSR, KBSR, etc... all rubbish. Should bring back A levels and O levels from cambridge....

If I can afford to send my kids to Sri KL or private school, I would have and even send them overseas.... but no that much $$$ I earn from day job....also... being a photography moderator dont get paid lar :D

we have pretty decent gov education during the 60s and 70s... just listen to their command of English or Mandarin, even those who did not finish their O level... they can speak flawless English.

During my time 80's things are arlready so different, when I leave my school during the form 6, I cant even speak proper english, until now I am still having problems.

Some people play down the importance of Language, a good language command will give the person confidence. If you can't speak or write well, even if you have great ideas, you cant get it though or some rather keep it to save the ambarassment due to problem in his language. Some rather spend time on motor-bikes, if they can handle their motorbikes so well, I am sure there are alot of talents in that person, unfortunately they are used for the wrong purpose.

We should bring back those English medium schools in the 60's or 70's... so we will have English Medium, Chinese Medium, Tamil Medium and Malay Medium, Arab Medium... then we have a truely solid work force in the future.

Those with English medium can take care of the English speaking business, Those Chinese medium can take care of China businesses, Tamils take care of Indian business and those Arab can take care of Middle east and Malay Medium can take care of Indonesia and local business. We can trade with at least 80% of the world. At the same time we have Bahasa Malaysia in all the different medium school as unifying language so that we can all communicate with each other. Bahasa Malaysia should also be improved further... have not seen much development since the bahasa baku era.

Does anybody know the total current number of students in Lick Hung? I plan to put my daughter in this school and would like to gather more information about this school. Thanks.

When my daughter left last year, they have 14 classes in each standard. Multiply by 6 and 50 students (some hv more) in each class you'd get the approx number (4200).

I was kind of KPC and went to check on the pupils' results in Lick Hung. As I suspected there are quite a number of pupils did poorly in the tests, some as low as 20% in average marks. If you put your children in LICK Hung remember to help them if they don't do well. Be prepared to spend time helping them especially in the first three years. Please don't just leave them to tutors if you love them.

Kids who can't follow the lesson are likely to be scolded in school. (I suspect Chinese school teachers likely to scold more often because they have expection from the pupils.) School is an annoying place that these kids have to go everyday, many without the understanding from their parents(worse, only scolding). This has to go on for six years, imaging the psychology change in the children after 6 years of "torturing" life.

So, whichever the school you choose, be with your child, help to them make the school a pleasant place to go to.
