The cognitive dissonance you guys are giving us South Africans it too much because we grew up being told that America has the best in everything and most of us aspire to go that side not knowing that SA is also top tier. We appreciate the awakening
I just realized us US American we are so behind and must stricter then any countries and racist.
yep a foreigners output sometimes is a need, cause we thinking that our educational system is bad.

I as a grandparent, was very impressed ❤with the school Rain and Rickey attends‼️
Hello ma and pa Jones senior. You couldn't even come visit us in Cape Town you came on a windy day during the windy season LOL next time hopefully you're back in Cape Town. you can't see Cape Town in one day there is so much to do and so many attractions you didn't even see the African penguins at Boulders Beach its beautiful amen praise Jesus you back home safe in states
@@emmanuelparsotam5028 Thank You 🙏🏾 for the heartfelt welcome 🤗‼️ The windy day was Gods plan 😉. Nevertheless, it was my best Birthday 🎉 🥳 and Christmas 🎄 ever❣️ We will definitely be back. Thanks again for your safe travel prayers. Have a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
In Christ Love,
The Jones’
I have live in USA (Florida) for 4 years, I know lot of South African keep on criticising the SA Government left right and Centre, But trust me this Government have transform this country very big in a short space of time, thats a fact.
The problem is these govt fools are corrupt.
White govt schools have produce world leaders like Elon Musk, Mark Shuttle worth, Koos Believe & that NASA black guy who has a public named after him
This will be unpopular 😂 you know who always negative
Facts 💯
Is so true we don't appreciate what we have
Excuse me!...don't kid yourself...please don't comment on something you know nothing about...our South African government is a thief steeling tax payers money.....not to mention the amount of ex convicts released from prison who are still part of our government...who are in the ANC cabinet....do you research before spewing such nonsense.
Don’t forget to hit the Like 👍🏾 button ❤
I support uniforms for students. Some of the clothes worn by students in the US are just not right.
Brother and Sister y’all dropping serious knowledge on SA right now. I’m so happy to see the Diaspora community giving information to our African American communities and SA communities on valuable information.
Our pleasure!
When my son was in high school (years ago), his favourite subject was Philosophy and Culture. It opened his eyes to endless possibilities. The private school would invite influential public figures like the National Soccer Coach, Business tycoons to share their journeys, books they read etc. That changed my son’s outlook in life in so many ways. The access and exposure derived from great private schools is priceless.
Ricky Jr shows leadership skills. He signed himself up for Hip Hop! A future leader taking initiative.
Absolutely 👍🏾, he got it honestly 💚
Wow guys I’m so proud of u as parents for even choosing those languages for kids especially Zulu and they are going to learn it fast and speak it with friends and even teach you guys 🙌🙌🙌
🎯
Thank you!
I just wanna add on the teacher's part, they are really great and caring, one time my niece had to have an operation, the teacher made her classmates to do a cute video for her, wishing her a speedy recovery.. That was so cute, it sure made her feel better 🥺
That is awesome!
Education in South Africa 🇿🇦 is top class till university
Roger that
This video is truly enlightening. As a parent who recently moved to South Africa, I've been quite concerned about my son's educational journey in a new country. Your insights into the diversity and inclusivity of South African schools, and their focus on nurturing kindness and independence in children, have brought me a great deal of comfort. Thank you for sharing this valuable information. It's reassuring to know that my son is in an environment that fosters such positive values. 👏
Happy happy this brought clarity and comfort. Much love fam
Just always make sure to not choose predominantly Afrikaaner schools. Over there you will not have peace.
@@baphithiThose are the best! Full of culture, discipline and others.
@@kemmoneR and loads of racism, and nil African culture. It matters for black children.
@@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL is your child in kindergarten Montessori
This definitely went beyond talking about the schooling system but rather felt like we were being schooled on life skills in general, a proper run down of a winners mentality and just a Plathora of gemstones after gemstones of wisdom 😊
hahahahaha, thank you
Amen
We love how you love our country and city of Johannesburg ❤❤❤
It's an honor to be here for sure
One other thing is the respectfulness of the kids at schools.... They'd be greeting you saying "Good day Sir / Ma'am"
Yes so very true that was something we recognized immediately
Repertoire is the word I think you were looking for. Wow!! I need to get to South Africa ASAP
Yes yes yes, that works too! Thank you
SA appeals to me because they play Cricket, Rugby, and Net Ball.
And football
Australian?
I'm only halfway into the video and I've already learned so much.
Oh wow, thank you
my brother I love you and your wife and your family thank you I appreciate it from Bloemfontein Shout Afric ❤
Our pleasure family, much love
Even here in South Africa public school is for free best eduction they even provide free lunch 5 days a week Monday to Friday they hv a menu for each and everyday you only pay for Transport fee if is staying far from school tanx guys
That's amazing and beautiful all at the same time!
A chartered school would be more like an equivalent of what we used to call Model C schools. At the beginning of our new regime, previously whites only schools which are still state funded were opened to all the other population groups. Since white people's education was always funded more than for other groups, their education was better than ours. So when things changed most Africans were able to take their children to those schools which are affordable than the private schools and they offer good education.
Nailed it.
I attended Westville Girls' High School, a Model C school in Durban that is a mix of public and private schools. It is one of the best girls' schools in the country.
You guys are on FIRE with your advise...I dont even have children and I'm impressed with the insightfulness that this channel brings...keep it up the GREAT work!!👍🏾👍🏾
💯🎯
Wow, thank you!
Great topic around private schools in South Africa. It's evident that the diverse landscape of education options plays a crucial role in meeting the varied needs of families, with private schools offering autonomy, specialized curricula, and often greater resources, while public schools remain a vital avenue for providing accessible education to a broader spectrum of students.
Thank you for this school review. As a retired school administrator, I am very interested in how other cultures educate their children. I led public schools and one charter school and must say that parental involvement and expectations make the biggest difference in a child’s education. Rain and Ricky III will excel anywhere with you two as parents! Kudos!
Thank You for sharing your thoughts and parental observation of Rickey JR & Chrystle.
You're welcome and yes you would be proud of the way things are here for sure! Thank you for the compliment
You'll should visit us in KZN Drakensberg
We also have some bad public schools but we also have some that are quite good.
SA is very good for you fam your skin is telling the whole story- it must be in our water 😂.This country teaches us to be extremely tolerant of different views,cultures,religious and ways of life.Everybody has to live their best lives under the African sun 🇿🇦.
Thank you and yes the tap water and all. SA is a treasure for sure!
I just can't buy bottled water for what@@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL
My boy done was done with us in the 1st week after they closed in December. He was so ready to go back to school. He kept on asking us the when are the schools are opening. Luckily for him they opened this week on the 8th.
hahahahaha right! It's a beautiful thing that the kids enjoy going to school!
Bless you all, and as a proud parent, when I collect my son every afternoon, all I see on all the learner faces is joy and happiness. Thank you for promoting our education, and as a South African, I totally agree with your observations and experiences so far. May Rain and Ricky III have an amazing start next week. Thanks, James @Kyalami Johannesburg ZA
Thank You 🙏🏾 kindly for speaking positively over our children (yours and mine).
blessings on blessing and yes indeed Thank you as we hope for the same for your son!
I’m loving 😍your shirt Rickey ❤
Why thank you!
Ricky looks like Crystal
Rain looks like Daddy❤
Very informative video! Ricky and Rain are adorable such a lovely family.
Thank you so much!
21:43 i remember when i got a bursary to attend a private school we had a subject called thinking skills, at first i didn’t really get it but i participated nonetheless. Only after a few years i realized how important it was. it helps unlock certain aspects of problem solving
yes indeed. Nice add on!
What were you guys taught, sounds interesting?
My man Mr. Handsome 😂❤
I wish you could have asked them about their experiences learning different languages.
This video was incredibly insightful. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏.
You're so welcome!
Congratulations on 30k subscribers and happy new year Jones family, love your videos and contents keep it up the great work
Thank you so much and we appreciate it
Thank you Jones family I really really enjoyed that video about SA schooling I am so proud of my country even though it's private school that most of us dreamt of. Great insight and it looks like they are enjoying it good luck with the 2024 curriculum I'm sure they going to learn a lot this year SA schools really equip the kids with life skills. They will be able to travel the world by age 16 safely and navigate the globe enjoy them while they're young. My niece had left sa on her own at age 18
🫶🏽❣️
So very true and you are welcome. SA with another win!
I like the fact that they are learning additional languages.
Likewise
Private schools in south africa cost the same as universities here , some of them
True that
Yes, some even more e.g Hilton College 😂😂😂
Absolutely, I have been through that.
they actually cost more, "cheap" private/IEB schools are from 75K per annum
Hi Jones Family. I like Mrs Jones Hair beautiful😅😊. You look Zulu the name Mbali suits you indeed.
Why thank you!
Let me tell you. The public schools in Sandton around the area are nearly impossible to get into. I’ve tried for 2 years and we’ve had to settle for private school. The public schools are that great.
Oh wow! that's a beautiful thing!
My Son is Waterkloof Primary in Pretoria it is by luck that he got a space and I am happy
@@sekgabimasobe9690 it’s impossible and I am wishing 3kg radius of these schools I am starting to think my race might be the issue
THANK YOU!!! We South Africans are used to trash talking our own system. I am a South African now living in Australia and I am so surprised how different the schooling is.
Right, you don't know until it's gone!
Portuguese and French would be useful in Africa and beyond. Chinese would also be a good language to know.
Thank you very much for the video. We are planning to come for my son soon...😊
Most welcome 😊 you will be glad you did
I am glad Lil Ricky is in Hip Hop Class awesome.
Thank you
Hey Fam ..Compliments of the New Year 💕💞
Thank you!
SA private schools also have French, Mandarine, Swahili and all other South African indigenous languages.
That’s only really offered in high school
@@vuyokazimthethwa Depends on the school. My brother did German since grade 1.
@@tylerdurden3722 did he go to a German medium school like DSJ or an international school? That would make sense then. I experienced private schools my whole life and the general consensus was that foreign language was a high school thing, there are some exceptions
Congratulations 🎊🍾🎉🎈 ❤ on 30K Subscribers‼️

Thank you!
Make sure you teach your kids the American hustle...education is great here in SA
But that American "can do anything attitude" is PRICELESS 🙌🔥
I agree with you 💯%
No doubt
Yes, unfortunately the schools in the US are lacking. They don't teach phonics like they used to when I was growing up and it has become a real problem with students not being able to read properly or read at all.
True true.
What in America in SA areas like deep rural is where you get kids who can't read
@@sekgabimasobe9690 It's not just in the deep rural areas. It's all over. Children in high school have problems reading. I think it's because of the way they teach nowadays. The took away the old system that wasn't broken and replaced it with something inferior.
Nice family.
Thank you 😊
Your kids are well-mannered… keep up the good work 👌🏿💯
Wow you guys are awesome. Thank you for opening our eyes to good things that we have herr🎉🎉❤❤
Our pleasure!
when it comes to schooling in S.A , its quite interesting; you have good and bad public schools and then you private schools
I wish you could revisit this video a year later with the kids, just to find out how far they are as far as language learning.
copy that
Your American children will be able to speak African languages. WOW
So very true
Standardized test start from 4th grade
Yes!
💯 your kids will be more cultured and respectful in all areas or aspects of their lives #RESPECT
We so agree!!! We were just at their friends house yesterday who are from Denmark 🇩🇰. It’s a beautiful thing
Most South Africans are linguists unlike other African countries where people know their mother language and English or their coloniser language only. Great country ❤❤
❤️
That is not true. Other African countries speak both.
You lot look absolutely amazing!
Thank you so much
Learning Zulu helps them hear many parts of Xhosa, Tswana and Sotho!! and with Afrikaans they can also bridge it to Knowing Dutch, German, French, and English.
Ok ok thank you for this
Religion is also out of our public schools, unfortunately. The contrast between Public and Private schooling in South Africa is astronomical. The only Public schools that are on par and sometimes better than Private Schools are the former "Whites Only" Afrikaans schools.
The rest of the public schooling will be a hit or miss for most. I went to a public school and the pattern is simple, if you're smart you'll always make it, if you're average to below average you may not make it...Where as in Private schools if you're average, they can push you hard to at least "Above Average" or at least just Average at worst.
That's pure lie .. Please don't do this. There are schools that are fully Public Schools that are doing even better some private schools. They are not Afrikaans schools or former Midel C schools. The stats is there actually.
@@zusibone I said a lot of things, which exact part is a lie? Please quote something that I said that is a lie.
There is not such a thing as a 'Whites only' public school in SA. There are a few Afrikaans single medium schools in SA and because there are more non White Afrikaans home language learners in SA than White Afrikaans learners, you will find that these schools are completely multi-racial. There are however a few Afrikaner private schools in SA, as there are Indian schools, Jewish schools and Muslim schools.
Watching these videos makes me realise as a South African that as much as we complain about certain things South Africa is still the best
All facts! The best!
I love you family
I'm happy you are enjoying with us our beautiful country
Welcome❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much. We have nothing but love for you too!
You guys made the right decision to move to SA. Why deal with all the dumb stuff in the States?
Thank you
I hope this energy is real
That's all you're getting from us as we too Believe in Jesus Christ!
Same here(SA)in public schools.
Nice
I think we need to be careful when we say something is affordable here in South Africa in comparison to the United States of America. You need to factor in the exchange rate. Because private school in South Africa is actually very expensive for South Africans, & not really affordable. This type of language makes it even more expensive & very exclusionary because Americans & Europeans who settle here accept these high prices, driving them even further up.
Thank you for sharing. Please let me know the way to pay less, what would you recommend to do so. We would rather pay less however we spoke to what we did pay.
If I lived in the USA I would definitely be able to speak Spanish. South Africans on the whole are at least bilingual or multilingual. I know how to flatter pretty girls in English, Xhosa, Afrikaans, German, Spanish and Italian. (I used to have a clothing shop in Long St Cape Town)
I enjoy just hearing the children saying " yes teacher, no teacher". That level of respect is obsolete in the USA.
Hello, so refreshing
There is no corporal punishment in SA in both public and private schools. No spanking
Hey. There are some schools that practice it in SA. Even the parents approve. Example the Eastern Cape.
We did hear about these!
@@simangelelekhuleni6467 Which Eastern Cape? because I live there stop spreading lies. You think kids in 2023 will accept corporal punishment when there wasn't any by the time we finished Grade 12 in 2004. Rural Eastern Cape still has pit toilets and other infrastructure challenges but don't spread lies about corporal punishment. Kids have phones, don't be so ignorant and aloof, even in rural parts of the province kids have phones and South African kids don't shy away from knowing and telling you their rights and this generation in particular has no allegiance to the thinking of their parents when it comes to their rights. There is simply no need to lie to be part of a conversation. I have nothing to do with the education sector but casting aspersions on a sector that already has so much to deal with so that you appear like you know something is just an illustration of intellectual dwarfism. What I hate about lies is that they tend to catch fire and stick better than the truth.
In Ntabakulu and Bisho. I have close family members who went to schools in these areas and they used corporal punishment to discipline the students. I am not spreading lies. If you think I am that's fine not going to spend time proving you wrong.
Uhmmmm I stay in Bloemfontein, a city in Free State....Most of the school still uses corporal punishment. some teachers and principals..parents aprove....I aprove.@@luthovellem865
You are referring to phonics . Learning different sounds
Yes. Thank you
I can speak 7 south African official languages 👌🏿
love it
more black children should know that being a private chef can help them see the world ! cooking classes that young can help plant the seed
True
Do you guys think that older children such as 13 - 17 will be able to acclimate well into the schools? Especially as far as the language classes
Yes bcos u find even outside of the classroom other children still speak those language's so it becomes easy to acclimate to them
I met a French friend in grade 10 who didn’t speak English at all. We all completed high school same year, not only did she learn English but Zulu and Afrikaans
@@samanthandaleni oh thats amazing! Thank you
@@modiegintobong189 thank you for responding. I appreciate the information
Without a doubt, not only acclimate but thrive...come thru asap & watch them grow in peace filled with joy❤ we can't wait to have all of you back home!
OK this is the more expensive schools, not the standard for regular government schools, which don't have any of those things, when you rate a country on their schools it must be on the lowest level not the highest, on how much money can buy
They were rating the school their kids are attending not the country
They are rating what they are exposed to.
True! lol
they said south african schools they did not mention a certain school@@sbanda1909
private schools here cost 10 times university tuition
Am a south African and what Americans are told is a bach of crap we amazing country
😅🎉🤾🔥🇿🇦
What about school for kids with special needs?
Now that I don't know, if you are researching a school they are more than willing to email or talk over the phone!
School uniforms🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮
hahahaha, we love uniforms!
Get ready for the LOAD of homework. Its going to take you both to Google a lot or feel like you back in school
why relocate to joburg and not cape town, i mean when people visit SA they go to the cape.
Cape town is a tourist destination not a place for proper integration into SA community. I am Cape Townian myself and I work in Jozi. Jozi is a place for hustling and making money.
Joburg is far more Cosmopolitan and global (inclusive and diverse) while Cape town is very Eurocentric and segregationist. Rich white people and Rich black people share the same spaces and experiences, middle class blacks and middle class whites share the same experiences while Cape Town is what we all know.
They are tired of racism already. Cape Town will bring back US trauma.
Joburg is richer than Cape Town, so it has more opportunities, it is also more diverse and has a better weather and friendly people. Cape Town is nice for a weekend, not to live permanently.
@@donaldmacdonald9993Isn't Cape Town racist?
Be careful, your children will be teaching you guys local languages.😂😂
You might want to change the Afrikaans, honestly that’s the least spoken language in SA . I’d suggest you switch it to French or Portuguese which is more global and most spoken in Africa
ok ok ok, thank you!
You not being honest Afrikaans is spoken in Botswana , Lesotho & Namibia & Cape town the Khoi created Afrikaans
@@gregvdm9434 I suggest you re-read my comment..slowly word for word 😅
The most spoken language is Xhosa then Zulu then Afrikaans. English is fourth. I am English.
ONLY 5% BLACK AMERICANS HAVE PASSPORTS BLACK YOU BETTER SPEED UP YOUR GAME 🇿🇦🇿🇦
This is a vast country, canyons and stuff are here. I don't think you should confine yourselves to cities.
True
From what I've seen about SA is that it's a very progressive society, but it has hard heads, people who refuse to move beyond apartheid.
we only been free for at least 20 years, the remnants and impact that apartheid had are still visible within our society. the wealth gap between black and white is worse as black people who are majority in the country still doesnt have economic freedom...its realy sad and disapointing that South Africans especialy those who where directly and ramnants of apartheid are still leaving with the pain and the loss......a 40 year old can still remember it like it was yesterday. its ohk when u dont share the pain but dont insult people cos its not like they are refusing but everyday scenarios keep on reminding them.....am the first in my family to go to university (am greatful). My parents could not cos the oppotunity was not there. and thats only on education. so please be respectful when talking about the struggle..we come far as a country and we are still trying.
@@mamellomaripa3946it's 30 years since the end of Apartheid, not 20. More White South Africans than not also did not have the opportunity to go to university, because before 1994 education was not free for poor to lower middle class students like it is today. During Apartheid every province had a university for Black students, some provinces had 2. Numerous Black students obtained diplomas and degrees and also postgraduate qualifications up to doctoral degrees then.
@@ChrisTus83 are you really gonna compare middle class white people with black people ?
@@ChrisTus83 black people had low level of education qnd were restricted to study most courses while dealing with poor infustructure for them and being treated inhumane.
Bern beaten and treated like animals with no respect for their life's...racism in all aspects.
The moment u get treated like dirt for no reason mybe u might understand that in this day and age how a black body is still a crime.
Please teach us how do you move beyond apartheid?
Why does the man talks so much with so much antics
What are we whining about today The Joneses? That our education system is crap? That the size of our schools' soccer fields is smaller than that of the USA's school soccer fields?
