Let's give credit where credit is due! The school experience has surpassed our expectations. Both Ford's and Asha's teachers are extremely agreeable, and they seem very dedicated. They have really welcomed Ford and Asha into the school setting and the kids have had no trouble at all getting integrated. We were impressed when Asha's teacher sent a note home that he would be staying late with groups of kids on Thursdays between 4:30 and 5:30 to work on weaknesses. And we have had great reports from the teachers about the kids' performance in school (especially in English, but also in the other subjects).
We should also note that all of the kids have been very nice to Ford and Asha and they have made many friends.
Also, the other parents have been extremely welcoming to us and have treated us great, without exception, even though we are foreigners. Conveniently, all the fathers in the school seem to have the same first name (Laurent) which makes it easy for us to remember who's who.
Add to this the fact that school is a short walk from home and that the kids rave about the cafeteria food, and things are going just swimmingly. Today was green beans, chicken, lentils, goat cheese and baguette. And the school makes a point of saying that everything but the baguette is "bio."
Here's Asha walking to school this morning:
