| Well, certainly a lot to think about.
When I visited the school it seemed to be a very nice place to learn, the teachers were aplenty and the principle was english and very nice and helpful.
Walking around and looking in all of the classes, there was no unruly behaviour, we were also there during the lunch or break period so all the kids were exiting the classes and in halls etc while we were finishing up.
No unruly behaviour and ALL of the older kids waid us as we passed, never seen that before.
But, that was the public view, the real view could be very different and judging on reports is something to worry about.
And yes, the attending school only and coming home at night and keepin up with everything may help turn it into a positive point.
Maybe I am trying to talk myself into it. We will surely be visiting the school again a couple of times prior to any decision and asking the right questions certainly helps.
We were aiming at moving up there for the end of his grade 1 year here in Bkk which I think is May next year. So still some time to find things out.
Basically it is a serious consideration, because if we cannot find a good school within 15/20 minutes from where we will be living, then we will not move from Bkk. They will not be sent to a thai school that is for sure.
I have had other thoughts recently and more so overnight about home schooling, but will write up all those thoughts at a later date.
Thanks for all the info and input, keep it coming if any more comes to light.
I also went to that ajarn site, did not even know it existed until someone mentioned it and I googled it. Some info there on St Stephens, but most is from 2005 and one guy who applied and got a job there and was to start in Aug 05. He was never heard from again lol. |
