You only live once. If it's what you want, you should do it - your DCs will be adequately educated, and might benefit greatly from living abroad. [ Reply | More ]

I can tell you from personal experience that Australia, Hong Kong, England and France have GREAT schools. The French public school system offers an education that is in many ways more challenging, more interesting and more comprehensive than lots of the NYC private schools I have seen. Even better, it's accessible to everyone, not just the wealthy. Your dcs will learn a lot more about life and other cultures in, say, a European or Asian school than they will being cooped up with other super-parochial NYCers for 12 years. [ Reply | More ]
