The only thing I dictate which my dad did not do is study hard. They love to learn and it shows. They are always top of class and school, even when they started not speaking Thai they clawed their way to the top. Mature beyond their years.
For instance they know they have to have at least a partial scholarship to get into a good university, as they have asked costs, and I have seen them googling information up. But they want to. They really do. They enjoy the whole learning process. Much more than I ever did.
They really dont mind homework which I hated. They are not Einsteins by any means they have gotten good through hard work.
They both already have goals much stronger than I ever had. enough bragging.
That's terrific AO, congratulations to you and the girls.
A question, if I may.
How much do you think they've benefited from being twins that can work together?
I assume they do.
In the past I've had twins in the same class and it's amazing what they can achieve together.
It's as though the loneliness of the individual is banished and with it the fear of failure, which hinders so many kids.
The ability to talk, discuss and argue with your peer provides huge benefits and stimuli.
Once again, congratulations.
I tell my kids to learn about money and make it work for them.
I told my son about profit several months ago and what it was. Gave him some sums to work out the profit on things first like....if it costs 10b to make something and you sell it for 20b how much is the profit ? Then I asked how much profit would you make if you got something for free and sold it for 20b etc etc.
I told him to think about something that was around the house that he could get for free and sell for 10b if he wanted to. I would not tell him what it was. 2 weeks later he said 'fish' and he was correct, we have lots of guppies and red swordtails breed in the ponds.
He then said, he could go and buy a glass bowl and get some sand from the river at the farm and sell that as an accessorie.
Think he got the idea.
I like poisoning my neighbours dogs till they die cos I'm a cnut
I still think anyone who decides who have their kids educated in Thailand between the ages of 5 and 18 is taking a huge gamble, maybe not for those whose pockets are lined with gold and can afford the top end international schools but for everyone else i'd think long and hard before making a decision that will affect your children for the rest of their lives.
I get the impression that a lot of posters on here are earning large amounts of money and are able to afford to send their kids to boarding school or the best international schools.
So what about the people that can't afford to do so? Is a (free) western education the next best thing? If so, how would your child learn to speak, read and write Thai? (is a Thai parent enough?)
Sorry, it's probably been done to death- just I never seem to hear about the people that can't actually afford private schools.
and he just stands there, waiting for me to drive my truck straight through him, with LIGHT coming out of his mouth!

Sure, hence the move back, though it should still be a private schoolOriginally Posted by HollyGoodhead
Thai? If they'll not be living there . . . no point. In my case, my wife is not Thai, so even less of a point . . . though Mandarin is tougher but infinitely more usefulOriginally Posted by HollyGoodhead
Glad you said that....as you might imagine, I was going to comment, but restrained myself.Originally Posted by jandajoy
