    Thank you Blazing light.

    One out of 13 for you. Complete to 13 and you shall be lucky.
    As for other, mmmm No response! Where are you Enigma Alpha with your knowledge - possibly still in search of Omega? Or you The Deleted One with your lengthy eloquent proposals –perhaps you have unified and annihilated? Or is silence golden? Come, be released of thy pinion and tell the public of thy answers.
    Pity such brave hearts chasing self-illusion, jumping in at every pitying opportunity to defend thyself?
    Where is all the fizz and excitement – just like the seasons gone before us? Wind & rain, yet no warmth, no glow to prevail!
    Valor, chivalry, honour and truth – values that children are yet to learn.
    mmm… No response on NIS myopia – renders it hard to inspect indeed! But truth shall prevail and darkness is forever perishable by nature.

    Reach within thy forlorn inner self

    LET IT GO! The place where she operates from is so far removed from our reality. The manipulations, lies, treachery is part and parcel of her survival kit. No matter whether you nice,kind, supportive, if she feels you attacking her, she reacts accordingly(not to your face though because she has to perpetuate her "nice" image). Honestly, I do not have the time or slightest inclination to stoop to her level of maturity, ugliness and toxicity. Wish her well and move on. I have!

    I have made some comments on where the real progress at NIS can begin. If you disagree and for the sake of the large influx of expats who watch this blog, can the owners, top management or you elaborate on the following:

    1. NIS has 3 branches. What are ages, years of experience and job titles of the 3 principals and the director before coming to Qatar?

    2. What is the mean averages of the staff age and years of experience?

    3. Since the 3rd school started running, how many teachers :
    - absconded work
    - fired/dismissed
    - left on amutual understanding
    - dismissed due to pregnancy
    - had the NIS permission as their sponsor to change jobs in Qatar

    4. Is there a bridging course for non-english speakers

    5. How has the schools dealt with one of its principals displaying drunk-disorderly behaviour (probably an isolated case)?

    6. What were the average salary and fees increases since last year?

    7. Have you had any academic failures and at what grades? Who is the monitoring body for exams?

    8. Do you rank yourself? What are the rankings and what tools do you utilise to measure your success (percetage occupancy excluded)?

    9. Do you have a minimal dress code for the teachers? I have seen that male teachers were ties but a few ladies cannot stay away for long from revealing dresses including one of the principals.

    10. How many directors do you have and what are their roles?

    11. What are the entrance requirements and does it apply to everyone equally?

    12. How do you describe your vaue-added service and contribution to chuildren's learning?

    13. What is the next milestone in your future improvement plan?

    Please bear in mind that these questions are in the interest of the general public who are considering enrolling their child at NIS and posses a sober and keen inteligence to differentiate between true info and ....

    Equally deviations in answering may be viewed as manipulation tactics. There has been a great deal of dispappointments in some of the info on NIS and with a great deal of interest in seeking the truth I look forward to the above info although my personal views on the management style shall not be changed.

    Thanking you in Advance

    Peruse your contract and negotiate for an unconditional release clause.
    Endure youtr dwelling is appropriate and close to other staff. Once here, stay away from politics, micro & macro. Some climb by kissing 'hands". Are you one of those? If yes, you will go far but be ready to lose some of your values or live in agony as you may deduce from some of the comments on this forum.

    And always remember that if you give a devil your hand, it will take your whole arm. So choose wisely whom you shake hands with. We all have anglic and devilish qualities in us, to varying degrees.

    I am an independant person and away from your troubles. But even I can name a few. However naming on this forum should be handled with extreme caution. We do not wish others any harm or injustice, Do we?
