Emma and I were thrilled to see this article in Parenting Magazine today: Raising a Global Kid (child). As you can probably tell, it's one of our goals to have Toby and Dara aware of the world and other people and cultures, and it was especially cool to see that the first paragraphs of the story are about Toby's former school in Minneapolis - Whittier Elementary. It's a public school near our house which also happens to follow the International Bacchelauriate program, the same as Toby's new school here. I'm pretty sure that the similarity in syllabus and values have helped his transition, but so also has the progam's focus on being a good global citizen. Either way it was great to see, and to think of our kids as being poster children for this model.
