The Principles of the Principals?

I have been a member of ISR now for just 9 months and I have opened up every report on international schools so I could tell the school my kid goes to, what a bad job 'they' were doing, well wake up and smell the coffee lady! And I did, but instead of coffee what I opened up was a can of worms offset by 85% of international schools reported as being 'rubbish' from teacher harassment, lies, deceits, low morals, mismanagement, power hungry principals, directors, pay and lastly, private international schools who are in it for the money. ISR has been operating since 2003 and whilst it is a wonderful opportunity for teachers to get stuff of their chests and warn other teachers about bad performing schools, sadly that's about the only respite they get. Nothing has changed really since 2003 so where is this really leading to? Where the hell are the principles of these schools and more's the point; where are the principles of principals?

[quote="Open Communication"]Dear 'respond', why have you not posted a review for your school in Bali on ISR?[/quote]

Dear "Open Communication" We parents have just discovered ISR forum, literally days ago. We are getting together to post a most damning report on our school. At present we are gathering numbers of parents to have their views translated from Indonesian to English as well as urging the teachers to get involved, they are keen but, until they feel assured that they have the 100% support of the parents and students they are frightened to say anything for the same reasons as you, exposure of identity.

Do it! It's your moral obligation to expose this school as dishonest. Anything relating to dishonest pay/benefits promises. Bad habits die hard and this school will most likely keep this bad habit. Don't be afraid of being black listed at recruitment fairs. Great schools in care of precious assets (you) will welcome you. Same goes for recruitment fairs, (big business) If enough teachers complain then these schools and for profit recruitment fairs can start the painful process of accountability to where they are sending their teachers to. Same goes for these schools. Good Luck. Disgruntled parent at Sekolah Lentera Kasih Bali Indonesia-Fighting for the rights of teachers.
