Hi,
I've been living in Canada (Montreal) for almost 10 years and my husband and I decided to move to Cluj (Romania) at the end of the summer. We have 3 kids born in Quebec (6, 4 and 1 yr old) so it's going to be a big change for us all to move back to Romania. I am an acupuncturist and my husband works in IT and he has already got a job offer so I think professionnally we will do ok. The only thing that I'm worried about is the kids' education... I remember schools in Romania were pretty terrible. Is it the same nowadays ? Are there any good schools in Cluj? The Transylvania College? The Spectrum school? Any government school that would be ok? Thank you .

we have a similar plan our kids will be 1 and 6 by then. I am Romanain and my husband American. After being a high school teacher here in the states I actually decided that Romanian school is better in many ways- our kids are emotionally healthier than American kids are where bullying and many other problems still occur despite teachers being very careful of how they 'treat' the students/;)

Thank you Uiowachick01. That's pretty much what I meant when I said that school in Romania was terrible.
In fact that's my major concern, that the kids don't get treated the way you decribe it. And I know this still happents because those teachers still are the fruit of an abused comunist society. But I still hope that in the North of the country people are nicer than in the south. No offence, I come from Prahova and my husband comes from Baia Mare and I always saw in the people from the North a nice, civilized influence from Hungaria...
