[quote=Anonymous][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]

I’m in Houston and I think Awty (our international school) is more like 2/3 Americans - many wealthy 2nd and 3rd generation kids - including mine.

This is such an insular view of the world. As an American expat who has lived in 4 other countries,[b] 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.[/b][/quote]
Yet you put your kids in an international school where the majority of the children are expats. Why not have your kids in a local school where they can integrate with the locals and learn the country’s language. [/quote]

Just FYI, international schools are usually about 50% local.[/quote][/quote]
