Kids and school life in Ja

10 years ago
Has anyone moved with kids? What school is he/she attending and how was it adjusting to the school system? My daughter is hesitant about attending school there- she thinks they'll make fun of her because of her accent. We've been in the position b4 where she couldn't understand some of what they were saying and they didn't understand some of what she was saying. It's funny how on 1 trip to Jamaica she tried talking patois and no one could figure out what she was saying. When we did, we were rolling on the floor w/laughter. Personally I think she'll be fine in school but she begs to differ. Please share your story of your kids journey.
