(CT, June 2006)
The school start would be in September, our son would go to Kindergarten at a private, very small and family oriented school. My husband and I never planed to sign up for a private school, but I was too scared at the beginning. All what I knew about the USA is what I read in the newspaper or saw on tv. There was always so much crime, big schools, drugs…I did not know what to expect from the area where we will live (we spent just five days house hunting!!).
As all parents we wanted to know our child to be safe (funny when I write it: does something like this exist??).
Soon, many school parents tried to include us in different kind of activities. This is a advantage of a small school. Everybody knows everybody and the people are more open and very helpful. Jakob was invited to birthday parties before he even met the kids. I do not know how they communicated but it was not important for them, obviously. They just played. Jakob was happy.
