Dear x*x,
Thank you for the nice email to me. I feel relieved the money is there. Regarding the school placement, we'd like to take R.E Mountains Secondary School for Yujin. My husband said Yujin will have more chances to make friends from the school if she attends to a school that is close to our place. I agree this with him. Another reason that I want to take this school is that it would be better to have less Korean population at a school for Yujin to improve her English skills faster. I am fine if she makes Korean friends who speak Korean; however, it is the fact that they will speak Korean for themselves naturally when they hung out together. I literally agree with you that you said "I believe if she works hard she would succeed no matter what the school placement". The view of my philosophy is "depends on how we make it".
The reason I mentioned about freedom at school is because Korean school education system is criticized very much, even in Korea. I don't have any kids, so I don't know much about Canadian school system. I would appreciate if you could give me more school information and so on. I checked this site in order to know about IB program (http://www.ibo.org/diploma/index.cfm). I hope Yujin doesn't take this program because she will stay us until she completes her secondary school in Canada. We might also move up to north area in a couple of years, where Walnut Grove Secondary is. I think she will be fine speaking English at that time. I hope she will join regular classes that local students study in as soon as possible. However I think this program is an excellent program for an international student who wants to stay and study fewer years. I will consider this program if Yujin wants to go back to Korean in a short term. This is also a reason that I prefer this school. I respect her a lot because she is very mature girl. I want she will make a decision about her school in the future.
Could you please let me know when I will get an acceptance letter from the school district? I wonder if the district is waiting for our decision about a school placement. My husband told me that he can pick up the Acceptance Letter after finishing his work when it is ready. My sister and her daughter, Yujin, is looking forward to coming to Canada. Hopefully we will get the letter this week if possible.
I look forward to hearing from you,
