@Enigmatic

Sensitivity threshold seems to have gone really low !
back to the topic :

ok for those who don’t want their kids to be raised in Pakistan .. would these things be of a concern to you?

1. schooling - I have heard there’s a lot of bullying, racial prejudice and crime in the local schools in the west (Brit, US etc) esp against Muslims these days
2. Islamic values - true you can keep trying to teach these at home but what about the stuff these children learn from school (which goes against our religion)
3. Urdu - it is our language after all .. somehow the kids I have seen here can barely speak a word of Urdu
4. Cultural values : how do you manage to keep alive the cultural traditions and values in your children living in a total western society
5. Filtering the right aomunt of information at the right time - sex education is provided in these schools at a very younge age …girls get into these problems since their early teenage..drug culture is predominant too! the general concept about sex is : do it but with precautions
6. peer pressure, psychological stress blackmail, sexting, esp for the young teenage girls (who think their social suicide would be there if they don’t go to these dance parties, proms, co-ed trips etc etc

again am not saying every kid I see is compleltely kharab…but I do think parents would have to make an extra effort to resolve these concerns

Some of these things are exist in every society and every school and the best thing would be to homeschool your child for the first 10 years.

I am totally against the sex-ed given in UK and US schools, but in Pakistan there is NO sex-ed at all which is also wrong.

I remember how girls in my school in Pakistan outcast shia and wahabi girls. And not to mention how girls went on dates by bunking school. In the end, it comes down the parents and how they train their children.

One thing I like in Pak is family life…people aren’t workaholics and hence more relaxed.
