Is it time to change school yet?

I think we have been moving around too much. Our 8 year old seemed to think that changing schools IS the norm! He has been bringing up the subject of changing school next year several times already and what are some of his reasons? It's been 1 year already! I'm bored of the school's playgrounds. I want to make new friends.

Come to think of it, since he was 4 years old, his average duration of stay in any one school was about two years.
  • K1 - K2 (S'pore): 2006 - 2008
  • Prep - Grade 1 in Cairnlea (Australia): 2008 - 2010
  • Grade 1 - Grade 2 in Seabrook (Australia): 2010 - present

Each time he changed his school environment, he had adjusted really fast and really well. But did it give him an impression that he is supposed to go to a new school every year or two? I remarked to Hubby I think we better settle down soon before our son develops a "school-trotting" mindset. Hopefully we'll be able to stay long in this current school until he finishes his primary years.
