Teru: I educated my three kids in the local public schools of Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tokyo, and then Palo Alto. I'm originally from New York City. It chronicles how we left New York in 2006 and then were in those cities, Hong Kong for four years, Shanghai for two, Tokyo for four, and then Palo Alto for two. Unlike the typical expatriate, we enrolled our children in the local public schools. They had a fully immersive cultural and linguistic experience. I was an education journalist overseas. I have a master’s in comparative international education. It’s half anecdotal and half research based. It’s basically to empower parents and educators and hopefully legislators too, to understand what's going on overseas and what we can be doing differently or what we are doing really well here in the US.
