Yeah, I think the...Glad you enjoyed it Cherylyn. <br /><br />Yeah, I think there definitely is some great value in the international schools. I know that is what I would do as well since I'm not bold enough to put my kids in the local schools - especially not in Indonesia. But the exposure to people from all over the world would really be a neat experience for anyone, but especially a young kid. Meeting people from so many different cultures at such a young age would really give him great perspective in life.kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098859339378214092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8118201499230970014.post-24002650490270408852011-09-22T05:09:16.920-07:002011-09-22T05:09:16.920-07:00Interesting read and thought provoking Kent! Havi...Interesting read and thought provoking Kent! Having been put into English private schools rather than the American school in England for four years, I can attest (even though it was still English speaking) that it is an awesome experience. I DEFINITELY agree that finding the right school is key though and my parents did a heck of a lot of research before they thrust that upon us and it was difficult at times for sure. Clark just started school here in Indonesia at the International School. While it isn't a local school (I would never do that here), Clark has only 1 or 2 other American kids in his class of 18. It is fascinating to watch these kids from Italy, Indonesia, India, Iran, (what's with all the I countries?), Japan, U.K, U.S., and Australia, all get along just great despite their many cultural differences. I love it.Cherylynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04627489189192453527noreply@blogger.com
