That is too high a price to pay for a life in Qatar with children. What worse can a parent give to a child than an unqualified and untrained teacher? This must be one of the incidents that the OP was witness to and is upset about. The child is facing the same and similar teachers on a regular basis. The damage might not be apparent upfront. Parents are often found complaining about the unprofessional approach of teachers and that sends me thinking whether it is worth sending our children to a school here in Qatar?
