Contract workers healthcare co-operative?

Re: Schools in the USA

Thanks Pulaski and Bluegrass for your replies. Pulaski I'm sure that's good advice - comparisons aren't helpful and ultimately pointless. I have always admired many things American. My husband spent...

Re: Schools in the USA

Re: Schools in the USA

Hi Pulaski, yes we have two children, girl 9 and boy 12 years. We have just been discussing (over a barbecue) how it was much more fashionable when we were kids (we are all in our 40s) to tease -...

Re: Schools in the USA

Hi Hotscot, I had meant that I was a bit racist for making assumptions of an entire nation.

We are thinking perhaps Florida, Seattle or California. But I was assuming the culture was similar all...

Schools in the USA

Hello!
