Another Brick in the Wall part 1

Today I received D & J's class lists from their new school in Shanghai.

There are 10 children in J's class, including her. This is not a class, it's a sleepover! Nora (from Finland) is starting on the same day as J. There are two other little girls in her class, Olivia (from Australia) and Victoria (from the UK). D's class is slightly bigger - 16 including him. There are 5 children from the UK and 2 from the USA. There is Frida from Sweden, Felix from Austria and Alienor from Holland. The other children in their classes are from Taiwan, Canada, Japan, France, Korea and Malaysia.

We chose this school because it teaches the UK National Curriculum, in the hope that the lessons would not be too unfamiliar for D & J. What made the parents of Felix and Amaury and Ji Won and Seuk choose this school? The high standards of the British Education System?

I shall get the World Atlas out tonight, and between the three of us we will locate the home countries of their new classmates. We know where Australia and France are anyway.
