Are we on holiday?

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

Actually pisses me off. I send my girlfriends kids to a private school and hardly a week goes by when there is no school (not talking about the official holidays, of which Cambodia has plenty).

I think we're on the same bus there. If you work out how many days they go to school, per month or per term,,, deduct the holidays and unofficial holidays, and divide up the dollars per day , it may not be much, but what do they learn. One of my 4 kids,,,, the 7 year old has learnt more by using her Samsung tablet.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

4 as in four? WOW! :hattip:

Home schooling might be better option huh.
But when they go to school parents get free time my friend with two tells me.
Whenever I stop by his free time is fixing something or other.

My advice for what it's worth. Be democratic but don't let them write the instruction book.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.
