Prokopi Klimos: English-Only School and Rahel Staeheli

prokopi klimos: It's so competitive and that's why this September has spurred me to start thinking about it, he said, adding an English-only school is two blocks from their home, but he's determined to get his daughter into French immersion, according to CTV. We're worried. Prokopi Klimos said hearing about parents having to put their kids' names on long wait lists at multiple schools has him concerned about whether his family will have to move if Helen, who is 3 1/2, gets a spot far from their home. We're planners. Rahel Staeheli, who lives in Surrey, B.C., had her daughter on three wait lists last spring but Milani didn't get into any of the schools when she started kindergarten this year. We like to be organized and we like to have a plan, Klimos said of himself and his wife Ellisa as they consider how they'll manage school drop-off and pick-up schedules if their daughter is accepted at a far-off school and their younger son's daycare is in the opposite direction.
