I tried to have bananas in the house so I could make a quick batch of banana bread to bring. I am finding the fundraising more difficult. Trying to ask neighbors and colleagues I barely know for pledges?

You should do some research on the American School system--I can't speak much to it because I haven't asked the questions you are asking. But it would be worth the research!shellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09510233639065517643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102320880349869209.post-15760374565379905512013-02-01T19:31:19.765-02:002013-02-01T19:31:19.765-02:00I have to say how much I appreciate your wording w...I have to say how much I appreciate your wording when you write. I like that you said, "Most Brazilians with the means pay to send their children to private school" (which is a true statement) instead of just "most Brazilians", which is not true at all. This shows me that you are living in reality, not a this-is-my-reality-so-must-be-everybody's-reality kind of perspective that most Americans in Brazil have. Thank you for that!<br /><br />Congrats on reaching your third year of teaching! May it be another wonderful year for you!!!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288566275589553773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102320880349869209.post-6920218390166655442013-02-01T18:58:22.180-02:002013-02-01T18:58:22.180-02:00I am having the opposite experience with my son in...I am having the opposite experience with my son in US school for the first time. Pluses - getting more than 2 days notice for most things and having the books included.

When you say the American schools is twice that do you mean double the $1,600.00 or lets say double $800.00? Just trying to get a real idea of cost. Also when its called American school I assume it has American born teachers and is run by an Americans? Can you let me know if that is usually the case? Thanks for the info very helpful.Skarrlette's Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08562022102196183737noreply@blogger.com
