Previous Episode: What's School For, Right Question, Leading with Anette
Valerie Lucchesi, mom of 3 boys from Maryland, host of Perfect Strangers podcast and board member for the IMF family association, shares her own public school experience in the the French part of Switzerland and the 5 educational systems in 4 languages her children have gone through so far.
In this episode, we are talking about even with all the differences among school systems, parents' expectations on our children's education are roughly the same: quality learning, joy in life, the delicate dance between helping our children reach their goals and not over stressing them, and more importantly viewing our differences not as weaknesses but opportunities for us all to contribute and make lives better together.
