Santo Domingo is EXPENSIVE - Living Expenses for Past 3 months
Education is another new world religion
From what I've seen what they are teaching my daughters in grade school here is already more than they can handle and in fact can't complete most of the homework without help. It seems the new theory among the education specialists is "the more the better".
In fact the US is the same from what I remember of my nephews growing up and a friendship with a grade school teacher. No wonder we have so many kids failing in the US.
Not so in the 70's when I grew up, our parents never helped us do our homework and I didn't learn how to read until the 2nd grade.
At least here in the DR at private schools my kids don't have to be indoctrinated in the increasing pc and liberal dizque "moral" education in the States.
Funny how many would propose the DR is expensive but never in my wildest dreams would I ever have been able to afford a private Christian grade school and hs education and a Catholic university education in the States yet here I will do it for 1/3 of what I was making in the States. Cachimbo!

Chip,You are so right..children in D.R. wont learn that two daddies or three momies is all ok. or the proper use of condom at a very early age or to trust policeman or teachers (all government workers) or all the hidden agenda that is so harmful for children...children here will no be having that type of education.
And none so ignorant than one who won't learn.
BTW, when I was a child my mother would talk to my father in Yiddish so I wouldn't know what they were talking about. Next time try Yiddish, I can figure the Spanish out.
Belmont,

Chip is a "Good Catholic",so why does that seem to bother so many people?
"Disorganized Religion" is not my "Cup-of-Tea", but Ihave respect for those who like that "taste".
My kids are all being raised in the Roman Catholic Faith,may God bless them!
And may God bless you!

Chip is pro religious and you are anti religious. There is no reason for you to respond to Chip's open declaration of his faith.
Most children can handle any work the teachers throw at them, as long as the teachers teach. I don't believe children now days have more thrown at them, if anything less. I remember having at least 1 hour of homework each night.
Excuse me but what does religion and schooling have to do with "living expenses"? These threads always fall of the original subject.
As a matter of fact, there are plenty of threads recently that deal with living expenses in DR.
On that note, closed!!!!
LOL I am just kidding. I will keep open but less keep it on track. OK?

I respectfully disagree.
I am surprised that the children are being given more than they can handle. I applaud that school, because I have not run across this happening here in the DR. My step daughter spent very little time doing home work and that caused me concern. I hope that will change when she starts at the University soon.
My opinion was based on helping our daughters do their homework over the last 5 years here and also my brother's kids going to grade school in the 90's. As it was with my sister in law and us we are effectively doing 25% of the kids homework because they can't do it because of the complexity or as is popular now doing research on the web.
Somebody brought up the religion part, not me.
The cost is of living is certainly relevant when comparing sending one's kids to a public or private institution.
You know what Pichardo? I believe you really know your posts about the "cost of living" don't make in sense in English because you know they don't make sense in Spanish either my friend. So what is the point of continuing this charade?
Now I understand what most astronaut and cosmonauts mean when they say it's sometimes difficult to have a "meaningful debate with earthlings"...
I don't think "sense" is something most have used yet when reading, be it the street English or hieroglyphs I posted...
That's unless you work for an NGO and need to "populate" a segment of a society, in between the low income and poor families households... They need to unless they don't seek funding for their "goals" to reduce and eliminate "extreme poverty", "abject poverty" , "below poverty" and God only knows what new terms they come up with for the "in-between" people and % from USD$316 to USD$521 you can't find with common "sense" here... For us in the biz there are only "poor" and "low income", and the in-between are not a new economic class to even try to include in any type of valid report...
This reminds me of one thing: Please tell us how come that your budgets based on HH expenses in the DR somehow don't mirror, in most cases, the living standards of those same level Dominicans you tout living on RD$10,000 a month?
That was just a theoretical question! Don't need to answer it here!
Unlike your apparent "theoretical" existence I have plenty of family here that live on $316-521 a month here.
Oh well, so much for your theory!
Sure Chip! Whatever you say is the truth and nothing but the real truth of us Dominicans in our own country! (We just don't know it yet or realize it, as we're too uneducated to make "sense" of it as we go about biz)
And for whatever it might be of service to you, that "family" you tout as living on the between USD$316 and USD$527, are just "poor" households that can't sustain a pole breakpoint above the USD$527 to be bracketed in the "low" income level... That means they're part of the 0.4% from the "poor" HH struggling to become "low" income or at least stay within the 0.6% closer to it... If they're ever to reach that goal and become "low" income HHs, they'll need to keep their HHI between USD$527 and USD$922 to be called a low income household...
If only kids in this country would learn how to use condoms at an early age. Being a teenage mother is not the right way to climb out of poverty, and this country is slowly becoming a nation of single teenage mothers!
