The other thing to bear in mind is what the children will do once they leave school.

Afterall, just because they have been sent to Turkish school, it does not give them the automatic right to a work permit. So what next?

I have just split this into a new thread as I think it deserves serious consideration and has not been discussed before (to my knowledge).

The old (and still current) thread is at http://www.turkishliving.com/forums...read.php?t=2675

Not enough people think of this before they bring their kids out here.

That's the main reason we have no intention of coming for good until our daughter has finished her education. She'll be sitting her GCSE's next year then her A levels the year after. If she wants to go on to college or uni we've a long wait in front of us lol.

I don't think it's fair not to consider them in a very important decision such as this. We may want to live the life of Reilly in Turkey but they need to have a career and a life of their own and as far as I'm concerned that won't be possible if we move now.

Luckily my daughter wants to be a sports coach or something similar. We've heard that there could be openings for her if and when she qualifies but, we'll wait and see.

It's not fair to ruin their lives before they've started.
