The reason we don't take American independence seriously is because we see it as a lucky escape.
Wrt to bullying: it is an issue everywhere. Kids can be mean! The fact that there are policies in place to deal with it and means of reporting it is actually reassuring.
Sadly the American revolution is a defining point in American history but in British history it's Thursday.
Wait until Ella discovers how to roll her skirt waistband up.
wait until americans find out that all the 'americans' during the 'revolution' were actually just mostly british born british people.
We were busy fighting the French Empire, to be bothered with a few Brits who we deported to the America's, never to return, thank Christ. So sad to hear a child love food so much, and the parents not to point out that the reason is English food doesn't have the additives that are bad for children in particular, as in the chicken isn't wash in bleach. And why don't you tell your kids the true history of your country, for instance, who the true pioneers were, in the 13 colony's, are you afraid.
British kids play outside a lot. It's safe here.
Perfect. We're in to that. And, anecdotally, I do see quite a few kids (and adults, everybody) walking around our village and that is great. -Jordan
Also they don't seem bothered by the weather. I have many memories of my kids playing out in the rain.
Oldest daughter looks like mum, youngest daughter looks like dad 😁
People always say that but both ways! ❤️❤️
The idea of school uniform is to avoid kids from better-off families wearing expensive "sneakers" or designer label clothes and making the others feel disadvantaged by comparison. It's a leveller. That idea comes unstuck when cynical school uniform retailers exploit a monopoly and jack up prices to the point where many families struggle to outfit their kids. My school in Scotland just specified black blazers, grey trousers and white shirts, which you could buy virtually anywhere that suited your budget.
Yeah Starre and I (as parents) prefer the uniforms. -Jordan
@@haasfamfarm Good for you. They should stand out by their characters and personalities, not their fashions. Being American in an English school is a double-edged sword. Sure, they'll be different, which can be hard, but they're also exotic and that's VERY cool. 😎
School uniforms serve 2 functions, 1 is a leveller so that economic backgrounds aren't obvious and 2) it serves as an identity and ties you to your school, personally I prefer our system to the US system, but I'm biased as I'm born and bred British.
Your kids are great fun! 😂
I enjoy the uniforms as well!
Studies also show School uniforms help children foster a sense of belonging, with resulting mental health benefits.
@@Nerdy4Life oh, that’s very interesting!
I worked at a Primary School and remember the Headteacher being cross that a child had been taken out of school to go on holiday for two weeks. I naively said that she could catch up those lessons when she came back! The Head looked at me and said “no, that’s it, we won’t be covering those topics again. The curriculum is so full that there are set times to learn everything and anything missed is tough luck! “ Must admit that hadn’t ever occurred to me!
Yeah, it’s just a balance of education in school and education in life
Back in the day, there was a song about school dinners that went :
School dinners, school dinners,
Concrete chips, concrete chips,
Soggy samolina, soggy samolina,
I feel sick, Get the bucket quick,
It's too late, I've done it on the plate,
(Do sick sound)...
Bullying policies were implemented in all schools due to a couple of high profile bullying deaths of kids.
Most schools have tight policies around parents or relatives being on school grounds. They've even stopped my niece running to me when I've picked her up from primary school without checks on me. Even though she was shouting my name across the school yard!
...ish, We had Childline (1986) and the Children Act (1989) and a culture of risk assessments. The schools would be hung out to dry if something happened & they couldn't show they had it covered.
I am a retired high school teacher. I started teaching in 1981 and finished in 2016. Over that time I honestly don't think bullying ever became more of a problem. What changed was the awareness and the focus on it. Schools were expected to have very clear policies and strategies in place to deal with bullying. School inspections will expect you to have these and will give you a hard time if they see you're not doing enough. This gives the impression that it is a bigger problem than it really is. Another thing that has changed is that some behaviour in the past that was just thought of as being 'bad behaviour' will nowadays be more readily labelled as bullying if there is a clear victim.
One thing that is new of course is online bullying, which is a nightmare and needs a lot of input from parents to solve.
But clear bullying policies shouldn't concern you. Look at it like the gun laws. We don't have strict gun laws because we have a problem with gun crime. It's to avoid gun crime. So the bullying rules are there to avoid a problem in the first place not solve one.
Thank you for writing such a thoughtful and informative message!

Bullying and absenteeism are a major reasons why some kids underperform at school. It's something schools have take seriously. There is a lot of competition between schools in the UK, and they all want to make sure that their own report card looks good. It leads to schools taking a more regimental approach to learning. That's fine for traditionalists, but it's not a system that encourages individuality.
I agree.
why would you think people dont eat popcorn ? go to the cinema, go to any tesco. I never saw any real bullying at school, american bullying on tv was always weird to me, cliques never existed at any schools ive been to, too. My family would travel at different points of the year, like you get 3 day and 4 day weekends a lot and we'd sometimes do like a city break for a couple days in germany, spain, netherlands etc, then, maybe a few days or week at christmas, then a few days or week in spring then another week to 2 weeks in summer. we travelled more than most but we werent rich, package deals are just so cheap, my holiday last year in spain was £119 per person this included flights, all inclusive hotel, busses etc. In general we would like the parents involved as little as possible in eduation, missing school is so so so detrimental to the child, especially in the uk when were always studying for real tests and teachers dont control the grades, the idea of taking them out of school is so absurd to me its almost offensive, theres plenty of time off to travel and of course you book in advance.
Of course we eat popcorn in the UK!
And Yanks wonder why there not loved around the world, there lost when they leave there own borders.

Hey dad! Think this is bad.Wait until the 3 of them become a team? 'Kick off' time. Get a shed built now.Youll need it sooner than you think.
He defo needs a shed, from experience
Mackenzie tartan.
Daughter No2 is wearing a pinafore dress, or "pinnie". It's very Mary Poppins / pre swinging sixties school attire. The term the big 'un was looking for to describe her skirt was "kilt".
@@ethelmini thanks!
To be fair you are right, the culture of childhood and teenage years has completely changed from what it was, I grew up in the 1970s and my father grew up in the 1940s yet our childhood was pretty similar. There has also been a massive study that has just been published about a prevalence of short sightedness in children as a consequence of time spent on phones/tablets/laptops.
Your kids seem to be very well balanced, congratulations...
That is such a kind compliment! Thank you so much! We do the best we can. Where are you in the UK?
@@haasfamfarm I'm in Carmarthenshire, Wales. But I've lived in Germany, Israel, West Virginia and India. I actually dated a high school English teacher in West Virginia..
The term y’all originated in the Southwest UK, as did AAVE and other words Americans use . Also, the American Revolution was a British Civil War as 80% of those involved were British.
That is a pinafore skirt, not a dress.
Your daughter's are so funny and lovely, well done to you for bringing them up so well . P.s my best friend is American,he moved to the UK aged 3 and lost his mum a year after. He lived on the same road as are family, so we virtually adopted him 😊. He moved back to USA with his family (Colorado) . He wants to move back to the uk eventually, he feels like the UK is home for him. Love your videos ❤.
Thank you! 😃 I hope he gets to come back! Thanks for supporting us!
Ok, random tip - and I'm pretty sure you can do it online - but definitely get the kids to learn Touch-Typing.
I had dreadful hand writing at school and eventually my teachers "gave up" and forced me to learn typing - literally the most useful skill in my arsenal and I use it virtually all day every day. There's the world of difference betweeen typing with 2x fingers and typing with all fingers (and thumbs) speed-wise. It'll always stay with them and seriously improve their time in the workplace. It's also a pretty easy skill to master at their age.
Weirdly, I'm pretty good with musical instruments, but drawing and handwriting, Im dreadful at.
Visiting/lunch with the kids in school would be "socially difficult" for them 🤣
Definitely ask about long-weekends out of school, you might get a "yes" and you can always try to sell it to the school as "educational".
The fines are stupid. You can legally homeschool kids here, so you should be able to take your kids out.
Frankly, the thought of parents going to school for lunch is horrific to me. Helicopter parenting is not acceptable here. Having your parents turn up for lunch would guarantee bullying for the rest of your school life.
Don't agree with taking kids out of school whenever you want but do agree with parents leaving kids alone at school.
When in USA you have 12 weeks summer holiday. Who looks after the kids if you have to work.
Harvest Festival:
This a very traditional thing here in the UK. Its roots go back hundreds of years to church services that give thanks for bringing in the Harvest in the early Autumn because if it failed or was short then you were in for a hungry Winter! 🙂
Schools:
Some, but not many, places in the UK do have what we call "Tertiary" Education.
In my hometown Years 1 to 6 go to Primary School (Infants and then Juniors), Years 7 to 9 go to a Middle School then Years 10 onwards go to an Upper School.
Flight Prices During School Holidays:
Well, that's Capitalism for you! 😉
Great Kids, I’m sure they will have a great time at school. 👍
Thank you 🥰
The fine issue is a bit draconian, but unfortunately was necessary as far too many parents were taking kids out of schools too much and it was shown to be having a detrimental effect on grades. You can still ask the Head for authorisation and providing its not every term you're likely to be granted permission.
I guess that safety must also be a difference. I know that sadly there are crazy people everywhere, but UK schools are much safer. Our kids had to do fire drills but certainly not “shooter” drills.
Yes, UK schools are way safer without guns.
We definitely do eat popcorn
😂
You've got two lovely kids.
That’s very kind! Thank you!
The food standard organisation here in the UK are much more involved in making sure the quality of the food comes better and i can understand why your daughter taste bud is enjoying it.
You need to try Butterkist Toffee popcorn, if you haven't already.
Haven't but promise I'll try. -Jordan
@@haasfamfarm I saw an old video of yours the other day, when you bought some microewavable popcorn from Sainsbury's. I believe that was Butterkist...but next to the microwavable popcorn, was Butterkist popcorn in a bag, including Toffee flavour.
Our school dinners, were any meat and any two veg with gravy. And for seconds, it was say apple pie with custard. I loved it. I loved the dinner ladies. They looked after you, like you were their children. All of us were from working class backgrounds. There was little money about. We didn’t know any different.
Ps Don’t worry about the kids in school. Youngsters, through the teen yrs, are learning abt life. They test each other out. It’s not really bullying. It’s just different personalities establishing themselves. I was always the funny one. The joker. I made the group laugh. There were others who assumed other roles. I was never a leader type for instance. In nature everyone will assume a natural role within a pack. I grew up watching David Attenborough documentaries on Sunday evenings after church.
I hope your 'crying period' is over now Starre, at least with regard to the tensions and frustrations of moving to another country - which is probably one of the most difficult things to do.
Thank you! It is! ❤️
30:45... The New South Wales school year normally consists of a 6 week Xmas summer holiday & 4 school terms of approximately 2 months each. Each split up by a 2 week holiday.
Easy to plan getaways beforehand.
Oh wow! I love that!
Your girls seem to be super people - well done! Welcome to you all from me (Essex, England FYI 😁)
It's five consecutive days for a fine or excessive absence usually under 90%. As for bullying I would guess in America and the UK it's similar levels, but here they have made a concerted effort to stamp it out after some toxic online bullying that resulted in some young children taking their own lives. As for the holidays, it's done to prevent burn out by giving regular breaks during the year.
Who in their right mind issues fines for absence!!
@@noelle3551 The old UK government! Conservatives pandering to the worst of their base support.
P.s forgot to add that the holidays in the UK tend to be either religion based or for agricultural reasons. So Christmas and Easter are obvious, October half term is for the harvest where traditionally all the root vegetables would be harvested and pickled so children had the week of to help. Feb half termis around Lambing, seeding etc, main summer holidays was for hay baling, crop gathering etc. Entire school year based on Victorian child labour practices wonderful
Just remember, from the perspective of the girls' classmates, the other kids find americans exotic. And a bit of ribbing is normal.
🥰🥰
Alaska 18 is adulthood but you can't drink an till your 21. That's so odd. Here its 18 for both. Remember that 16 years is consenting age in the UK, like some States but not all States in the US. Children here are taught to grow up faster, ready for adulthood and the employment world at 18 years. There's also Sixth Form for 16 years old's, before attending College then University, if you wish them to go down that road.
When I left school it was straight in to employment for me at 16 years of age. No college or further education. Back then 16 year old's where much tougher and much more prepared for employment, as there was no distractions like mobile phones or the internet.
Your kids are great, already showing two very different personalities.
I grew up without ever needing a school uniform however it was in the 70's and 80's, maybe a uniform would have helped me avoid some real fashion disasters? My perception is that the stricter the uniform code the more the child will rebel against constraints, so maybe it's a good thing? My sister had a very strict dress code, so tried to get her skirts and ties as short as possible, also tying her blouse into a halter top, good girl! Strict uniforms can also be a sign of a privileged school with a direct line to a top university, don't let your kids get too arrogant.
The English/American thing? Back in 1976 I lived in a town in North East England called Washington, it's the ancestral home of George. His folks were plantation owners that moved out to the colonies. Jimmy Carter came out here on the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and thanked us for providing the vast majority of the Founding Fathers and revolutionary leaders. Jimmy even planted a cherry tree in Washington Old Town next to the Washington Manor. He didn't say it was a coup, and at the age of seven I would never have known what a coup was. But there it is. Us Brits and Yanks are far more connected than we care to admit.
EDIT: There was so much more I wanted to discuss with you guys, you raised some really interesting points I'd never considered. Maybe next time?
There are a few areas which have Junior, Middle and High schools but I think the majority of English, Welsh and Scottish schools have Junior/Primary and Senior schools change at 11yo.
I am not a parent but think uniforms make a group of pupils look good wearing a standard outfit. Secondary school I attended in the 1950s had uniforms, some adjustments made over the yeas with more modern styles.
Junior schools in the main only serve small areas, secondary schools require buses or other transport.
In Scotland some secondary schools have pupils in residence for the week, only going home at weekend using a ferry.
While the summer school break is shorter than USA, do schools here have more breaks of a week or two through the year? One bad effect of the short summer break is many people want holidays at same time which can result in higher charges during those periods.
Hope you all enjoy your time in England.
Thank you! Yeah, we just love to travel and 6 weeks is too short for us.
the girls look very smart I'm sure they will have many friends, theres something to be said about learning the old way with books and hands on skills far to much emphasise on tech it ain't good,at least you have a great home where they can spend time outside with the animals and theres always plenty to do,you have a luvly family.
Thank you!
You can ask to take them out. For instance I think if you were planning to visit family in America for Xmas I doubt the school would object to releasing them a couple of days early.
@@geoffmelvin6012 you really think so?
@@haasfamfarm Yes, definitely. Ask early and before you book flights etc

Let's hope your school sees this and improves the 🍕 lol
@@bodizmoner2838 😂
Fining in schools is relatively new. My youngest is 30 no fining when she was at school.
Is it really? I wonder why they started
@@haasfamfarm It's a government policy. Schools are assessed on their attendance record as well, so they have an extra incentive to keep kids in school.
I still don't know how to tie a tie to this day. I remember my mum tied my tie for me on that first day at secondary school and that knot stayed in for the next four years. Edited to ask: Do they still serve 'Manchester Tart' in school? Pastry base, layer of jam, then custard covered in sprinkles. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Manchester Tart. Yeah, the American Revolution is really just a footnote in British history. You have to remember just how big the empire was; 65 countries gained independence from Britain, America was one of them. When I was at school it was only really brought up as part of the much more important (to Britain) Seven Years War. Oh yes! Puberty! That's a whole new roller coaster ride for you as parents. Good Luck!🤣
You can get permission for time off, but truanting is a big problem in UK schools , also it's an expensive resource and families taken children out of school is taken as undervaluing the importance of education .
Often only allowed if one or both parents have no choice as to when leave can be taken as with Armed Forces personnel. I worked for an employer and were allocated our leave periods but the rota was published, one could work out one's duties and leave periods 5+ years ahead. A change for any future year could be applied for, if unsuccessful it was sometimes possible to arrange a mutual exchange with someone doing the same job at the same location.
exactly, its honestly disgusting to me that some people think its ok to just take their kids out of education knowing that they will be behind and miss so much and with the extensive time off you already have throughout the year. Book a package holiday for next to nothing, beyond cheap when you actally have time off. No one americans have such a difference in their levels of education, i can imagine so so so many kids just miss vitally important stuff due to this and the fact tha teachers determine the grades in the usa, they dont have key stage 3, GCSE, A-Levels etc in american schools you can get inflated grades if the teachers are generous or dont give a shit or are lenient or dont want you to fail etc etc
What great kids, they will go far, you should be proud, they dont have summer, they delete it...LOL
Thank you ❤️❤️
Half term is in 1 week February & 1 week in October. Easter is 2 weeks break, Christmas is 2 weeks break, summer is roughly 6 weeks break. Then they get a few single days off during the year. We used to call them TEACHER TRAINING DAYS, but not sure what they're called now., or if they even exist. My youngest daughter is 29, so it's been 13 years since she left school for good.
@@jules.8443 and 1 week in May
Knew those teacher training days as Baker days
@@johnleonard9090 I have heard of that. Yorkshire call them TRAINING DAYS.
I have twins (boy & girl) they're coming up to 15, my Daughter is definitely a moody teenager now 😫, my Son is still chilled out.
❤️❤️
Why do you think it is okay to disrupt your child's education to go on holiday. How do you expect them to catch up on lessons missed. Regarding uniforms, they are a great leveller. No-one has 'brand labels' as they all dress the same. Re dad meeting his daughter for lunch - why? You will see her when she gets home. Sadly, so many children come from broken families so no dad on the scene. Plus your daughter is of an age where dad turning up would be an embarrassment. Not cool dad.
In the 1960 s in my village school we had no uniforms . Only when you went too the high school did you have a school uniform
I expect that they will become accustomed to uniforms. It is much easier and helps build a sense of loyalty, camaraderie and pride in the school, while eliminating the all too common peacock syndrome. I think, though I am not sure, that the major difference is that English schools have three terms, whereas US schools typically have four terms. Bullying us not a big issue, but schools are obliged to keep a very close watch, because legally, they are in loco parentis.
We do eat popcorn, but we don't butter it.
The teachers wouldn't let you die, too much paperwork.
All schools are required to have a policy around bullying, but that doesn't necessarily mean that bullying is particularly an issue in English schools. Hopefully most times it isn't.
❤️❤️🐎
Always wondered about Children going from US to UK schools or Vice Versa having to deal with the different word spelling ... i.e Colour/Color and if the schools allow for this
Was this video helpful?
Interesting comments from your daughter about the 'short' summer holiday. I guess when your family is an ocean away you feel you need more time. But it made me think that because Europe is so compact we are used to being able to go abroad easily. It's only a couple of hours by plane to Spain for example. So six weeks is easily long enough. It also means that going abroad at half term for a few days is feasible so some people have short breaks during the year. We're going to Budapest for three days at half term, for example.
With the USA being so huge I suppose even travel within the country is time consuming let alone going abroad. It blows my mind that you can be in a plane for four hours or more and land in the same country! Three hours from here and you're in Moscow. Four hours and I doubt if you're still in Europe.
A direct flight from New York City to Los Angeles is 6-7 hours!
I’m about 70 my older sister 1 year older had to wear a straw bonnet as part of her uniform. I gave up and wore Beatles collarless stufff didn’t go down to well
my school dinner's back 50 odd years ago were disgusting, inedible, I never ate them!
Really?? In the UK?
@@haasfamfarm Yes, two dollops of lumpy grey mash potato every day no matter what the meal was, were deposited onto my plate, never ate them once. stews with baked beans in them, disgusting, I didn't know what to do when I first started school so I spat it in a plastic drinking cup. When I moved to South London, it got a bit better because they served chips (fries). Yum.
We used to put it on the floor because they would not let us leave until it was gone.
@@johnclements6614 my school dinners were delicious I'm in my seventies and wish I had them now .
@@paolow1299 I would say that more than half was ok or good but some I just did not like. I remember in the summer we used to get slabs of beetroot, as the main ingredient of a salad. I would eat the lettuce and cucumber but the beetroot went to the floor. We could only leave when we had a clear plate or repeatedly begged.
Went for a job in a school about ten years ago and the food was excellent.
Ella's shoes look too young for her. She would be best with laceups. The shoes she is wearing look like what primary aged children would wear. As for tights, she might not like them, but in today's world, I think they are better to protect her modesty.
Your elder daughter is going to be a shoe in for a feminine William Brown ( look him up ,a character by the author Richmal Crompton circa the 1930s)
To me, it's funny you guys came from alaska to live in the U.K as I would love to leave U.K to go live in Alaska. I want to live in the woods and build a wooden cabin.
Alaska is amazing. We wanted our kids to be able to experience different cultures though, and for them to have options on who they wanted to be when they grow up. I'll eventually find my way back "home" to alaska i Hope. -Jordan

Welcome to the UK, the most wonderful country on the planet where we talk a lot about weather and football ( not " soccer!").
I do not think.buulying is anymore prevalent here in the UK. I just think we are more concerned about it , thank god for that .The powers that be are trying to make it a thing of the past.
Interesting!
You understand how hard it is to catch a child up after an authorised or un authorised absence?
How do you mean?
American independence we were busy else where & the Caribbean was more profitable. Can I say that? Lol

Look at it this way, you wouldn't lose your job if you took some time off to be with your kids. More paid leave etc.
There's many things you are missing and probably ignored in america. Bullying happens in every country and mostly online, and I bet in america. If you get all states and see how much bullying goes on, I guarantee it's massive with the uk we are a smaller country so we hear what other areas and unfortunately bulling has caused kids to commit suicide that's why all schools have a bullying policy (I will give u a example I bet u didn't hear about school shootings around america on your local news) we are a smaller nation and regarding taking your kids out of school we as a nation find education is more important than taking them on a trip
Depends on what you consider education.
@haasfamfarm Every day in school is important for the education of your children. That's why parents are given fines. Even parents who don't listen and continue taking their children out of school without permission can be imprisoned. That's how important we as a nation believe education is important to the next generation...
@haasfamfarm so do you think your children's education isn't important brcaise you want a long weekend? The children have many breaks in the year because you think taking your kids away in school holidays is too expensive yes it can be but many parents in this country book early also you can do late bookings which many holiday's abroad are very cheap as we are very close to many countries, if you book a flight only and look online for accommodation directly you can get some great holiday's cheaply which I have done many times with my children in the past.
@haasfamfarm I'm going to make one more comment as your comment annoyed me, if you don't like how our laws and our education system works can I ask why did you move here if you don't like the system? There are thousands of expats who have moved to here and accepted our laws, education system, etc, also believe the education their kids receives is much better than other countries...and before you say that I'm against other people coming here legally I'm not I think it makes nations better...

Do we have any English schools left? My school was all white 30 years ago, now there isn't a white person coming out of it. I would never want kids in this country, I bet all the private schools are Chinese at this point. Go to Poland and see what Britain used to be like, it's a wonderful country now with so much investment.
Don't be racist. Plenty of English people are not white and that has been the case for centuries.
I used to liv about 100 metres from a small catholic primary school 25 years ago. When I first arrived it approximately 1/3 white 1/3 Vietnamese and 1/3 black when I left ten years later the whole school all except one little Polish girl were black, mostly African. A school of 120 pupils and 119 of them were black. This has probably been repeated 100 times around London there are Definitely over 100 schools at least in the UK they don't have a single white British pupil in them.
See, this is a problem! I'll bet 95% of the kids coming out of that school today are English born, no matter what their cultural or genetic heritage happens to be. We all need to make 'em proud to be English, not resentful of being stuck here. It doesn't' matter whichever way you try to cut it, they ALL WILL BE our FUTURE because they are the children..... We help to make that future either whole or broken with our attitudes today. Time only goes one way, old chap!
@@PJM74-gm8fg Black people look down upon white British people. I used to hear from my Nigerian neighbours kids all the time. I remember hearing it from a newly arrived teenage Nigerian girl on the bus and how utterly dismissive they all were of the native white British people we were definitely the lowest ranked of all the people on their rankings. They don't want to be British they want Britain but they don't want British people in it.
fuck off racist scum, how about you leave the uk then.
