Changing from English to American schools
Hi there
My family and I are about to move to New England- probably New Hampshire. I'm American, but I've lived in England for nearly 20 years now. My husband is English and we have 3 kids, aged 11, 9 and 5 (who are all very English). What I'd like to know- is there anyone out there who has had experience with changing school systems- from English to American. We are planning on sending them to public schools (they look pretty good in the seacoast region of NH). Anyone with any thoughts on the whole education thing? Any advice would be appreciated!!
Thanks!
Mary

Welcome to BE 
This is the meet and greet side of the forum, post in the life style section and you'll get more response, but have a read of a few of the threads already on the subject, there's one that is quite recent, couple of weeks ago, about the hassle of getting transcripts sorted and the like.
As for schools in NH, wouldn't have a clue....but nice part of the country, tax free sales and income....car insurance and property tax though are through the roof.
