 |
|
Hello to one and all. I am brand new to DavesESLcafe and this will officially be my second post here.
| Quote: |
I am a recent grad. with degree and certification in education - Special Education, actually K-12. I also have 3 years of experience including student teaching, tutoring positions, and my work with Head Start and Early Head Start. I also managed to graduate Magna Cm Laude. (sry, I tried to put it in the correct way but it got filtered....LOL)
The hitch in all this is that I am also a single mom of a beautifully brilliant 6 yr old daughter, Grace. I am 100% sure that I want to go to SK to teach for a year or more, perhaps travelling to yet more countries after that. My goal is not only my personal growth but a diverse and culturally rich life for my daughter. Given all this, I am desperately seeking advice and direction in this pursuit.
Can anyone let me know what public school would be like for her? Would it be better to go with a Hagwon that would allow me to bring her with me to school? I know that international schools are too expensive and not really what I am interested in.
Also, money is tight for now and I need help in attaining her plane ticket, at least for the initial flight as I would be making plenty to provide her airfare in the future.
What wisdom can you impart to me on all this?
I am very open to help/suggestions. Bring them on:)

After posting this earlier, I was flooded with the advice that I should find a homeschool group my daughter could join. but I still have many questions about childcare during working hours, taking her with me, etc.
Please help spread the word around here that I need to connect with some other parents there, asap. I desperately need some1 to take me under their wing through this whole process.
Any volunteers? |

| What nationality are you? If you are Canadian or American then you can arrange home schooling from your own country. Canada has a great home schooling system. |

| First of all; they dont speak english here! Why would you want to bring your daughter when she can get a head start in education in the US? Best advice, search for a teaching job here through the military. I know they need teachers at overseas bases and you can send her to the base schools. |
