qatbrit has used the right 'their' and 'there' in her message - have I missed something??!
Having just visited a number of schools in Qatar I was very much impressed with the importance placed on learning the 3'Rs in primary school. I know for a fact in the UK that in British schools the spelling is appalling - teachers don't want to correct mistakes just in case the feelings of the child are knocked!!
I personally found Doha College to be way above its station - unable to respond to emails requesting a visit and then when they did, they could not arrange a whole school visit requiring us to visit twice if we wanted to see both primary and secondary. I will not bother - I can not imaging how they would deal with a case of bullying if a whole school visit was beyond their capabilities. Maybe they don't need more pupils coming to their school - I do know that resting on your laurels is never good. I expect the teachers at Doha College are good but if their administration is as weak as it appears parents will take their children elsewhere for fear of bad management. First impressions still count!
