Hi All,
I am an American expat not working at JKS but my children go there. Unfortunately, I have a very unique situation and feel like I have no other options to give my children a balanced education. I have basically given up on that school and send them there for the drama, art, PE and to socialize, which is not going very well as the kids are too "tribal". Academically not sure as a parent I don't know what the hell my child does all day as everything is sooo secretive we don't even get to see assessments or test except for the weekly spelling and Arabic dictation.
Sorry for my ranting.
My 4th grader is having a VERY difficult time finding friends so I am trying to see if there are other parents out there with the same problem to see if we can connect and do something for our kids, I have girls. I started a book club for 3 and 4 graders to build a love of reading in my kids as it does not seem to be a priority at JKS. Please contact me if you are interested I am also looking for a Girl Guides or Girl Scout troop if anyone knows of one. My kids is miserable and I need to get her involved in things to help her connect and make some friends.
