My oldest child just started elementary school, and he's a bit nervous!  I don't know what he should expect! How nice. Speaking of Primary education, did you know that it is focused on basic learning and introduces kids to a big range of skills and knowledge ? Well I hope they have high standards when they hire the teachers - I want the best for my son! Yeah, there he will be able to learn fundamental for various subjects, as well as grammar and math Awesome!  But I am concerned about the security - it's not something that was a worry when I went to school, but times have changed, unfortunately. I see. I interesting fact i can tell you is that in 2001 68,173 of the 92,858 elementary schools were public and 24,685 were private Interesting. Which grades were on those schools?
