[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can see how if you are from a foreign country, and it costs a lot to travel overseas, you'd want to get your money's worth and go for like a month so that your kids can be immersed in the culture and language, and spend time with relatives they rarely get to see. That seems reasonable and like it would also be educational and contribute to social-emotional learning![/quote] I grew up in multicultural neighborhoods. No one was pulling their kids from school to travel for a month to the motherland. Those trips were important to the families, but they emphasized education more so. Trips were taken every few years during the summer, regardless of weather or travel deals.[/quote] Multiple months in summer to take the extended trip[/quote] PP. Yep.[/quote]
