I'm planning to attend the AASSA Fair, it's early Dec in Atlanta. If you go, contact me about sharing a room :-)

I support opening the PM system fully. Anyone who is using the internet has a responsibility to make their own judgments about the way they interact with and connect to others. And we assume our own risk in this situation as well. I've been a member of enough other communities to know that if there is an out of hand situation of harassment, a member can ask the admin to step in and block that person.

It is understandable that the admin might not want to take that chance, but my personal philosophy is trust first, assume the best in people and in most cases, people are decent, caring and helpful.

Opening PM's would really increase the value of this board and I believe, increase it's use by educators...which only serves to bring more information that we all need to make sound choices.

Please. Post a poll and let the members vote on this.

thanks!

Hi~

I am wondering what to conclude about schools that do not have a review on ISR. Does a lack of review indicate that in general folks are so happy that no one comes here to publish complaints or issues warnings? Or does no review mean it's so awful that no one dares put up a review?

I am particularly interested in learning more about:

The American School of Puerta Vallarta
The American School of Guadalajara

but there are others I have seen listed other places (like the list at JoyJobs) that do not have a review here, even though they are an established school.

Any thoughts from the community here? Is it weird to contact staff directly through the websites of schools to ask questions?

thanks!
