The Mexican school system here in Baja has a take it or leave it kind of attitude . . . if the boy doesn't get it / doesn't behave . . . then take him home! I KNOW this boy has potential and I am willing to work with him. If you can forward me the websites maybe I can get some ideas on how to re-teach some of what he has learned and give him a better handle on the basics. <br /><br />p.s. I am in a similar situation with my husband not able to go to the U.S. isn't life grand??? :)Terese Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08949753410973508900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-77780573851350558802011-03-08T12:38:26.057-08:002011-03-08T12:38:26.057-08:00For real I think kinder in the public school setti...For real I think kinder in the public school setting is so important, at least for kinder it gives the girls a time to learn the Mexican culture even more and the Spanish! At the private schools it will be all about English and Spanish but English will be really pushed. Where, your girls that that one at home! So good idea, I might do that as well it depends. Good points! You can always teach them info at home! At least for the first years or whatever! Thanks for posting this I love it so good!Abby Lee Maciashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035930300301038062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-16774436308967621302011-02-01T06:31:27.334-08:002011-02-01T06:31:27.334-08:002 years ago when we can to Mexico the first time o...2 years ago when we can to Mexico the first time our daughter started 4 year old kindergarten here. I will never forget the day I dropped her off there. She spoke only the basic Spanish...gracias, porfavor etc. I thought to myself how in the world is she going to get by and learn anything. My husband kept telling me not to worry. I expected to pick her up that day and she would be in tears. Boy was I wrong! She loved school. Her teacher was wonderful and very patient with her. I was amazed at how my daughter grew that year. By the time the school year was over my little girl was speaking both languages. Then she attended kindergarten in the states and now we are back and she is attending 1st grade here at a government school. Although she seems to struggle some...mostly at test taking I am thankful that once again she has a wonderful teacher who is extremely patient with her and understands some of her difficulties. She scored low on her last set of testing. It takes her longer to process things than the other children and her main problem is that she can not finish the testing fast enough. Her teacher allowed her to bring the test home and we finished it with her and the teacher changed her test scores. That was a relief to me because she is extremely intelligent and I do not want those test scores to say anything different. We work with her a lot at home as well in both English and Spanish. If you could please e-mail me the websites you use that would be wonderful. My e-mail is jillchavez@hotmail.com. It is amazing to me what our children can accomplish. And we as mothers should be proud of our children and always remember that these little kids are going to be something amazing one day!!! Thank you and I am glad to hear that things are going well for your family!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10891755187152383310noreply@blogger.com
