One of the greatest concerns parents have when
facing an international move is. "What school will be available to my child?
Will my child be disadvantaged academically as a result of this move?" Although
this fear is certainly strongest ill families {{U}}(62) {{/U}} overseas
for the first time, even those who may be more {{U}}(63) {{/U}} often
have concerns about their children's education. Dr. Ernest Mannino spoke
{{U}}(64) {{/U}} about some of the common {{U}}(65) {{/U}}
parents have {{U}}(66) {{/U}} the education of their children. Dr.
Mannino {{U}}(67) {{/U}} parents against making assumptions about their
children's education. To make a(n) {{U}}(68) {{/U}} choice, parents need
to think through schooling issues and to research post schools in {{U}}(69)
{{/U}} of a move. Children who are internationally {{U}}(70)
{{/U}} have many choices of schools to attend. In most major cities, there
are schools {{U}}(71) {{/U}} on the US, French, German, and British
systems. Some parents also choose to become their children's teachers through
{{U}}(72) {{/U}} education. Which school is appropriate for your child
is an {{U}}(73) {{/U}} decision based on many factors. One of the
{{U}}(74) {{/U}} factors that should be considered is what type of
college or university your child will attend after high school. Some parents
want a(n) {{U}}(75) {{/U}} education instead of just an education within
an American system school and {{U}}(76) {{/U}} , they have the
opportunity to go to these types of schools. But what parents must keep in mind
is whether this school will best prepare your child {{U}}(77) {{/U}}
education beyond high school. Parents may be tempted to {{U}}(78)
{{/U}} their children's school system in order to {{U}}(79) {{/U}}
cross-cultural understanding, but many experts suggest just the opposite.
Mannino warns that differences in the order of curriculum exist in the high
school grades; {{U}}(80) {{/U}} your child from one academic system to
another during this time can {{U}}(81) {{/U}} a child academically. At
the very least, the parent should learn what the differences in curriculum are
and try to keep the child in one system for all of the high school
years.
