I completely agree with u HGL. And moreover here I'm talking about our kids, not us. It's true that we all have to keep shifting between different countries, so is it just and fair to burden our children so much? And I'm talking about British Schools and not Arabic schools. If its an Arabic school then it is understood but why in a British school? As I said earlier, Indian schools don't hv such compulsion and so are American schools. So why only British schools?
