    I do understand your dilemma, having had experience of my kids spending time in both systems.

    A very difficult situation that needs a lot of thought, and I'm afraid, maybe some self-sacrifice on your part.

    Long holidays in the Phils might be for the best until she has finished her education.

    My kids were 8 and 10 when we came over to live.. They didn't really want to leave their school or friends either.. They have so many friends here now that I couldn't drag them away if I wanted too!!
    Having read some of my daughter and sons old UK friends FB messages and the general language they use,I have had to tell her to remove them from her friends list.
    Sounds like they have been infected with Chav culture.

    I totally understand what you're saying there.

    This (culture thing) is a huge consideration when you have responsibility for your kids' surroundings and influences, as well as their education and future prospects. Certainly something that greatly exercised my mind.
