sooooooooooooooo....put your good and bad experiences out there. Prospective parents deserve to hear the positive and the negative. And who knows? Maybe the parent has no choice anyway due to the lack of space. So, even your negative comments could help that parent deal with damage control after enrolling their children.

Anyway, space is a big issue in Doha...not enough schools period.

Forget the added difficulty---not enough high quality schools.

This puts parents in the position of prioritizing those services that they absolutely can't compromise in their child's school over those that are flexible.

And while it is frustrating, one year in your second choice school at the early primary stage probably won't dash your child's chances at being accepted into university and force him into a life of selling kleenex on street corners.

With that said, I hope everyone has a great academic year!
