Moving to Scotland

Hello GG,

You are right, the education in Scotland is really good and it is free. There is only one secondary school form today - the Highschool - where children get grouped in the main subjects such as maths and english with regard to their learning abilities.
Children here only have to attend a school until they are 16 so can leave the school after that. Usually all students stay in Highschool for 4 years / + 2, depending on their career wish.
You should look up the website for the curriculum for excellence:

The children get all books etc. provided. They only need to bring their PE things and pencils etc. to school.

Generally Scotland is a great place. Probably much colder than Florida but there is a lot to do and see. People are extremely open and friendly and the rich culture is all around you.

I hope this helps a wee bit

Hello dear,
Can you tell me how's Dundee's lifestyle?  I'm a esl teacher and my husband is a machinery mechanic. Do you think that place would be suitable?
Thank you

hello Ciorstain,

Thank you very much. Definitely its a big help. Yes Florida its a lot warmer but we do have very cold days, sometimes its actually  colder than Scotland like last week we were around 2 Celsius and 4 and Scotland was around 5 but it doesn't last long. it goes back to 15 to 22 Celsius and probably that's what im going to miss in winter but I can handle the cold.

Thank you again and regards,
Gisela
