Is it crazy to move to Mexico with a middle schooler? A new ‘Confidently Wrong’ podcast

Moving is never easy. Moving with kids is even harder. Moving with kids to another country takes it up yet another level. But moving to another country with a middle schooler? That might just be the holy grail of moving masochism.

It is with that backdrop that we thought we would focus on this episode of Season 2 of our podcast, “Confidently wrong about raising kids in Mexico.” If it can be done with a middle schooler, anyone else should be easy, right? So we talked to the principal of the Middle School of the American School Foundation in Mexico City, as well as her husband, who also has teaching experience and is currently helping with curriculum development at the school.

They both have significant experience teaching expat kids, have taught abroad in Asia, and are now raising their own kids in Mexico. As a result, they bring an honest, unfiltered perspective on what it takes to move abroad with kids.
