is higher in SH or BJ than suburban U.S. for similar quality of life. I guess we are spoiled. I also agree with oceantide, working for others is easier in the states than in China...to make same amount.
The twins are only 8. They are good at academics, don't see any issues catching up in the public school. But i don't like the fact public schools focus so much on scores, neglect the character building, leadership development etc soft skills. Besides, i hate to see my kids buried under the homeworks. These are my reasons to choose international schools.
