Tips for Finding an International School (2)
Sitting down in the park one day, I got chatting to a Japanese mother of two about her son’s schooling. “When my son does drawing at school, the teacher tells him, ‘you have to hurry up!’ They tell him, ‘the tree has to go here, and the sun has to go there.’ They are very strict.”
Being of the laid-back Australian variety of person, I was slightly horrified at the prospect of my effervescent child being beaten into a creative box. I promptly crossed that school off my list, and realised why so many parents have the ‘school’ conversation long before their child is even out of nappies. (Note to myself: begin research much sooner next time…)
