Moving from school to school as a child was bad news. Now i have children. We have moved a few times and they were sad and nervis. Then we moved to Cairo and THEY LOVE IT! Our children come first. From teaching not just out of books but how to be a better person. Teachings that take them far into life. Starting over is never easy. So many diffrent schools teach diffrent ways. They push and want to be the best school. They look at children like numbers on paper. Over looking the small and shy and the ones who need them most. At least now i see teachers still care, love, has best wishes, and teaches more than what is on paper. Shows students they are someone. And that someone is amazing in every way! That it is just not teachers but all the above to teach and give the best for them to become the best.
