Teachers on Zamami generally have to stay here for a minimum of three years before they can be transferred back to the mainland. One of our teachers came two years ago with his wife and one-year-old boy. This year, when his son turned three, his wife moved back to the mainland with the boy.
Today I asked the teacher why his wife and son moved back and he said that they didn't want their kid to have to attend two different pre-schools. (This teacher will be transferred back next year so the kid would have to change.)
I thought it was pretty fascinating that their family would choose continuity in a three-year-old child's school life over a year of living with his father.
