[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Age eight was common in older generations in the UK. Now they often stay home until finishing the equivalent of sixth grade. Joining any later than this will be hard on all but the most socially adept kids. The UK public schools (private in American lingo) are excellent and allow families to just enjoy each other on school holidays and weekends, with no concerns about homework, college admissions, etc.[/quote] In the OP's situation, the children would be in the UK and they would be in the US, so they wouldn't be seeing the kids on weekends. Indeed, I would guess that the kids wouldn't come home at all except for summers, and maybe the Christmas holidays. Other breaks would be too short to warrant the time and expense of flying back to the US (and the exhaustion of the time zone shift back and forth).[/quote]
