Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Nope. Not feeling any better. Seems like they fork out a bit of cash for a pretty good system... I fork out cash here for lots of things (over €12 a day for the sort of lunch that I wouldn't fork out...

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

I must admit, these two aren't too bad as Italian teachers go. At least Julia is encouraged to use her English Accent in English lessons here. Julia adores them and that's the main thing...:thumbup:
