nightmare
but comical
the mrs returned from sending the jack to school
turns out the school's six kids are all girls being 'finished' for boarding school
each girl individually taught, and then they play together. Wednesday play is swimming instructions.
class partly taught in Afrikaans, and in English, and it seems Jack is the exotic one, speaking English and Mandarin
a 7th girl, daughter of S African teacher at an international school in China, visits every Monday / Wednesday and Friday for socialisation, given that she and her parents are playing refugee as international schools in China are not in session. Now she shall get Mandarin practice.
Friday sessions are held on grounds of a local but big school, again for socialisation
Last I remembered the Jack excels at socialisation Message 32499649 - it says so on his report card
So, let us see how the Jack does when the deck is stacked (whether for or against him unclear)
There in the family be precedent, my uncle, Jack's grand uncle, adventurer Percy en.wikipedia.org
Too funny, sink or swim
Reminder, here be adventurous Percy w/ his comrades on the Russian front
here be cousin Stella
Here be Percy's wife Mucia, a Russian Swede. Early school did not affect Percy much :0)
