Yup ... let your finances dictate.

As clever parents, you can teach your kids and fill in, where the school falls short.

I was always under the impression that private schools thrived upon there academic results. Dicipline and hard work seem to be the goal of most private schools in acheiving above average results for their children.I cannot comment on how this relates to Cypriot private schools.

All a parent has to do is ring up and threaten the headmaster (proprietor) that unless his failed son/daughter passes the year they’ll take him/her to another school and bingo the child is through…

Thats nothing...you obviously haven't seen the DT wing of the English school.

What? Is that full of dirobittes?

The British students of the state elementary school in Peyia outnumber the local students. They have special Greek classes for newcomers. Private schools are very expensive. I would suggest starting at the state elementary school and see how you go. Good luck (you will need it).

As they don't seem to have the faintist idea about jobs, schools and probably everything else in Cyprus, they would need their children to follow the British curriculum so that when they leave in a years time they will be able to resume their education in the UK without missing a year (or two).

She said they were THINKING of coming. Not that they decided already So they thought of it and now they want to see how feasible it is. How could they learn if they didn't ask?

May well, eventually, be true. However, given his expertise, a more polite reply would have been appropriate.

What expertise pingpong? An electrician? My nephew has a BSc and an MSc in electrical engineering and he had trouble finding a low paid job! He is a Cypriot and so obviously speaks Greek which relgiruk probably doesn't.

I was referring to your expertise not the original poster's.
Had you any, limited, understanding of the English language you would have grasped that point.
