[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never do that to my oldest. Sorry. It is too late to pull Him for HS especially to a country like Singapore. You won’t have the same rights there and neither will he.

He’ll move back to US with no HS friends to visit when he comes home for the holidays.

It seems like you’ve made up your mind already but you have kids.  Don’t do this to oldest.  And to the Pp who said you all would bond over this- not being snarky, but do you have a teen?

I’m sure some kids would be more than fine, but what if yours isn’t.  HS is a tough age [/quote]

We did this to Western Europe for three years for elementary school.  Fabulous experience- and I think you will regret NOT doing this.  Similar family had the same chance as us - didn’t go for it and then regretted.

Your kids will be overwhelmed academically at first over there - all of them (Singaporeans speak 5 languages) but the really hard part comes when they return to sub-optimal schools here).  So I would only worry about middle schoolers - but then again middle school sucks everywhere.

Focus on the freedom for your kids.  This is something if you stay they will not have.[/quote]

Explain/expand on your last line? They won’t have freedom if we stay in the us or if we stay in Singapore?[/quote]
