SCHOOLS IN PUERTO VALLARTA?

Posted by Michael Green in Puerto Vallarta in schools in puerto vallarta , pv schools , private schools puerto vallarta , Education , bilingual education

Michael Green in Puerto Vallarta

Most of the foreign community takes advantage of the wide range of private bilingual schools throughout the bay.  The largest concentration of these schools is found inland from the hotel zone.  One school in this area is fully-bilingual and bicultural with classes one-half day in Spanish and the other half-day in English.  Most of the English teachers have English as their first language and are from the United States or Canada.  Many US holidays are celebrated so the children will still celebrate Thanksgiving, Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day.  The curriculum is challenging; however the English level is probably the equivalent of one grade lower than in the US.  There are two campuses, one for grades pre-kinder to grade 6 and the other for grades 7-12.  The cost is approximately $4,500 USD  per child/year and bus service is available to most outlying areas at an extra fee.  In this same area there is a bilingual Catholic school. The cost is approximately $4,500 USD per child/year.

"Please Remember What we learned in Kindergarten & Let's go back to basics"

Posted by Thomas Green in Manners , Education , Boomers , Basics , Baby Boomers

Thomas Green
All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten: Uncommon Thoughts on Common Things. Is a great book by Robert Fulghum, that I do recommend You to read.  I have read it many times, yet each time I read it I find myself saying "If we could just remeber and practice the basics of the basics - We learned them in Kidergarten."
 
Some of the rules Mr.Fulghum talks about in All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten: Uncommon Thoughts on Common Things are: + Share everything + Don't hit people + Put things back where you found them + Play fair  + Clean up your own mess
+ Don't take things that aren't yours + Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody
+ Wash your hands before you eat + Flush...

Boomers Abroad

BoomersAbroad.com was born in direct response to hundreds of conversations with baby boomers from the USA and Canada who were seeking a new life, and to better understand how they might live abroad, travel abroad, relocate abroad, retire abroad and/or invest abroad. Leading industry experts and many of those who have journeyed ahead will share their personal experiences and knowledge in a great variety of areas.

Boomers Living Abroad

The number of Americans and Canadians living abroad, by today's count approximately 7 million (according to The Washington Post), is twice the population of Chicago and greater than that of 33 U.S. States. A number that has grown steadily over the past decade, and it is expected to more than double within ten years. In the next 20 years, 100 million baby boomers, from the USA and Canada, are going to retire. Five million baby boomers turn age 60 each year, Ten Thousand per day, Eight per minute, and scores of them are purchasing property abroad as vacation homes or investment homes. Naturally, many of them are auditioning these homes for potential primary retirement residences.
