Home school...on line..
Keep your kids away from these public mind control places.
When I was in school we learned the basics.
If you think sending your kids away is a good idea...why did you have them?
The leftist insanity I see is sure not what I would want my kid studying... poor bastards...what a choice for parents these days.
I cannot imagine my kids being taught the junk they teach now.
It is like you just pumped babies out and now you realize you have to educate them..
Good luck with the world in chaos sending your kid off to learn to be a sheeple...yikes

How is any of your rant relevant to the topic?

A few points not necessarily about Cambodia, but mix race kids & international schools

Regarding Philippine teachers, my daughter 1st attended the Montessori school in phuket and after a year pulled her cause of the Philippine teachers constantly mispronouncing english words.

She than attended a British school where we found there was a caste system in place,
(Pure Thai's, half Thai's, full Farangs) plus 25+ kids/class, Great sports facilities but the teachers all seemed to be recent graduates ( average age was around 25) with teaching credentials vs BA's or higher degrees.

5 of us parent's ( with 9 kids age 9-12 ) started a sort of homeschool and hired 3 teachers, lasted a year but felt she was missing out on to much an not getting enough proper schooling

She than went to a public school for year 8 in the states, but she returned to finish in Thailand as my sister, where she was staying, an her were like oil and water

Her last 4 year's were at QSI ( American curriculum) ( more experienced teachers, (many had Masters or even phd's), 8+ kid's/class, more individual learning) which has school's all over the world an she loved it and thrived.

1st year in University was in Ca as a Out of state student (I held Ca residency but she didn't) Dam expensive
after 1 year thou she got her Ca residency ( in Ca ur allowed to obtain residency while in school, not all states allow this)

she used to tell me how immature her classmates were.

Picking schools is a real headache and what appears great on first impression, is not always true

As to those kids educated abroad ( university) but returning back to work, I found that the friends of hers that returned, got great jobs BUT were paid only slightly more than a local, even thou they were educated abroad and fluent english speakers and no where near what a Farang would have been paid, a real catch for employer.

The Best thing you can do for ur child is provide the best education for her/him which will later offer more choices in life. its not easy

Now working a great job from home with great benefits and loves America

I got my kid in one and all the teachers are from the philipines .
He’s going on six next month and has been in there 3 years allready .
They have a website but no reviews like on trip advisor .
I was told to go check out the “ SHINE ‘ school
From Singapore by the name . I parked in front one day and all the kids looked like they were soldiers
Looked like no fun at all , too serious
Now there are a ton of choices closer to me but nowhere do I see any comparison or reason to change
He can bite kids where he goes now and they don’t kick him out , so they adopted him as part of thier family

I want to do the best for the kid but how can a guy find out which school is worth all the money they charge ?
The kid is dam lucky I can easily afford all the money it costs to go to nursery school
They don’t even provide drinking water , i got to send him everyday with a water bottle ,
carton of milk and a few snack cakes for break time .

There are currently 17 Cambridge accredited schools in Phnom Penh according to https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/ ... ge-school/

They have a nice chap, from Singapore I believe, who makes regular checkups to ensure that schools maintain quality.

Now, I have just re-read your post before hitting the "Submit" button and I notice you say "He can bite kids where he goes now and they don’t kick him out , so they adopted him as part of thier family"

This is a serious behavioral issue that should not be allowed to persist. I would be very concerned with the statement " He can bite kids where he goes now" as that implies a reluctance on the part of the school to address the biting issue. They may be reluctant to work with the parents to find a way to stop this behavior which begs the question, why would they be reluctant to work with the parents?
