| All, The education for kids in Shanghai for overseas returnee and expats are the major major expense! First all, if you have a 8 year old, you can not expect him to go to local school even if he speaks chinese for many reasons (some would not admit and also school differences). There are however some bi-lingual schools. However, many of them are still mostly teach in chinese. Only have portion of classes in english. I would say that if I have kids and consider to live in Shanghai, I would place children's education on number 1 consideration. The cost and problem associated with is very significant. Eddie |
