Yes so true. Not knowing Nong Khai I wouldn't know where to go. Yes many parents are proud of their kids, I have 5 and at 81 yo I'm lucky to have my 8 yo girl April Williams
My daughter was given a $7000 AUD scholarship to Yarralinda private school in Lilydale Victoria. The only student lucky enough to get it there She studies Thai English and mandarin. The reasons we came back to Thailand are manyfold, cost of living, including rent $380/ week bitterly cold winter, power and gas heating costs but most of all repeated lockdowns. Because of the lockdowns she had to study Thai and mandarin by zoom Sumittra private school Songkhla.
My eldest daughter also gifted with an IQ of 141 is married to professor at a Melbourne university. My 3rd daughter of 4 daughters is also clever and works for IMed Radiology on Melbourne. My 8 year old girl only started learning English from December 2019 and speaks as good as anyone born in Australia. She was born in Nong Khai. I'm sorry I returned to Australia and so relieved to get back. I understand your cynicism as I agree but in this case I'm proud to confirm she is gifted. Thanks for your answer
