Something Positive

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Here is something I would like to share with you.

My daughter's first day at school.

It brings a glimmer of hope into life.

To all the parents on here I wish you the best.

Good one,,, and make sure those photos are kept somewhere so she can see them in ten years and twenty years time, and again when she sends her kids to school in maybe thirty or fourty years from now.
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.

Which school is this?
Is it purely Khmer language, or an English curriculum?
Location?
Cost.

PM. If you prefer.

I suspect that our two shall be changing school again judging by the attitude demonstrated by the Head teacher at Suvarnabhumi.

Is both Khmer & English. Location Kakap

Jasmine is Kindergarten here for 25$ a month.

I gave up Sovanniphumi as was getting nowhere with my son. 2 years behind in development.

I send him to school really just for social skills and friendship in a secure environment.

The academic side as discussed in another thread we have to homeschool.

Saying that - this school is friendly and approachable. It's become quite popular in my Sangkat.

Thanks for the encouragement @Freightdog

Until year 4 or so thats all school is about + simple english language skills. I still look back at my daughters photos from her first day at the Montessori school here in Phuket (2000) and wonder
where did the years go....?
