[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whenever I hear about people doing this I think of all the people from those same countries who chose to come to and stay in the US.[/quote]

Yes, it doesn't seem like it at times, but American kids (allllll American kids living here in America) have the best chance to be well-socialized, confident leaders. [/quote]

This is such an insular view of the world. As an American expat who has lived in 4 other countries, I can assure you the rest of the world socializes their kids just fine.  And attending private international schools abroad produces highly confident future leaders, with a broad world view.[/quote]

You mean well-connected rich kids receiving an elite education and insulating themselves from local populations as they gallivant the world in their parents exclusive international social circles have great chances of becoming leaders? Shocking.[/quote]

There are tons of ordinary people who chose a career in foreign service. They are not elites or well connected, except for very high up the chain.

There are ups and downs to the ex-pat life, but Americans that have been through that lifestyle are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. It’s easy to recognize that they and their kids are different as soon as you meet them. They are usually a much better class of human than their peers over here. [/quote]
