Letter to the editor

Dear Sir:

Based on your statement, I must say that my opinion towards the increased number of third culture children, is someting positive.

First because this premature exposure into other culture, can result in a more comprehensive and respectful child, specially to other cultures, nevertheless, this method has to be always accompanied with the constant support of their parents, so that they don't feel uncomfortable with the new culture they are exposed into.

In addition, I would like to show my point through an example. In The Mackay School, there are several children coming from different countries and cultures, and every single one of them has used elements from his native culture to have an advantage in this new culture. In fact Filip Morris, a new student of The Mackay School, with only ten yeas old, has eficiently used the skills he learned in his native culture, Australia, to be selected to present a brief comment about St. Patrick's day.

In conclusion, I think that the existance of third culture children, can b aways positive for them and fo society if they have a good parental support.
