CC have you ever heard of States like Mississippi Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas if you read some of my post I state I am African American and Puerto Rican. Go back and look where I wrote ROLL TIDE. I grew up in Chicago born in Humboldt park. Why do you think I write ROll TIDE because my mother is from the wonderful state of Alabama. My moms family defines the word family the entire town knows the second she is back. In my grandmothers house at the most I have seen 40 to 50 people in front and inside. Your world and my world are like night and day. I have a huge HUGE family I can go to three different place and call someone and have a place to stay, Colon Panama, Ponce PR ,SD in DR. Your family was not close do not LUMP all Americans into your history regarding families in the USA. ONE MORE THING: ROLL DAMN TIDE 2012 National CHAMPS!!!! Some of the nicest people are from the southern states of USA. Im sorry you had to go to the DR to find what family really is.
Apparently education in The US was not that good for you, because you have a HUUUUGE comprehension problem. Nobody's hating on The US or saying there's no family in The US, etc...the issue and again what the OP wants to know why would you educate your child in The DR and as we've already seen many people feel that just because The US education system is better with more resources does not necessarily make it better for THEIR child.
I will put a challenge to you...you say you have two kids one here in The US and the other in Alma Rosa. If they end up growing up in the two different countries give each one the opportunity to go to a good school. For the on in The DR pay for her to go to a good private school and of course the one in The US won't need to as there are very good schools here. When they grow up and hopefully go to college ask yourself which one turned out better educated, with better manners, and maybe even more successful? It's quite possible the one in The US is that one, but it's not a sure thing just because she's in a place full of resources.
