Thats all you can ask is for them to come to you. I had to clear up many a mess for my sons friends because they were to scared to go home. I quiet often had them staying with me for a few days other wise they would have slept rough. Always let their parent know they were save. Same happens now except his friends usually end up here after a argument with their partners. i won't mind but my son moved away from home 8 years ago and doesn't see his old mates
The same happened to my son who was dating a lovely Indian girl. It ended because her parents did not approve of her dating a English boy. He was mortified as he is not English he is Welsh
Wow i thought our children were parted from their Mothers early. That only happens over here is the mothers go back after maternity leave. Then its usually a member of the family looks after the baby. through when my sister goes back to work after she has her baby, she will have to put him in a college nursery. As she doesn't live near her family.
wow thats hard so your children are judged through all their school years what happens if your a late bloomer. And you struggle in the early years then blossom in the later school years could this effect your graduation ?
Here you need good grades to get in to Universities which is probably your a equivocal to your college.
What time do the students start school over there i think its 9 am to 3:30 pm over here but don't quote me on that as its a long time since i had kids in school
I love to know more about European/ Canadian schools.
So the actual school leaving age is 18? In Britain its 16 the academic students stay on in 6 form in school. The students that choose to leave at 16 either go to colleges some to study vocational courses. The rest either get a job if their lucky or sign on for benifits.
I have never visited any Asian countries though i would love too. I have many Asian friends yes their culture is different but i respect a way of living particularly towards their families. I loved the interaction between my friend and husband she is the boss in the home.
I have worked with people from different countries some i have like some i have not. But that was a personality clash nothing to with where they came from or culture.
I offtern watch American programs featuring American school Children. What age do your children compulsory start and end school. And what about other countries.
