1 pro of living in Belgium: good cheap schools. “Now, you may think he’s merely a
curmudgeon, a tired old teacher who stopped caring long ago. Not true.
Teaching is his life. He says he loves his students, loves education
and learning and watching young minds awaken. Problem is, he is seeing
much less of it. It’s a bit like the melting of the polar ice caps.
Sure, there’s been alarmist data about it for years, but until you see
it for yourself, the deep visceral dread doesn’t really hit home.”
