Re: PYP schools where math taught by a different teacher?

I always felt PYP math was the weak point. There was a big school in Singapore that dropped the PYP specifically because of the math. I just checked and UWCSEA also dropped PYP for several reasons.

IB 'Feedback and Complaints' and 'Whistleblowing Policy'

I noticed months ago a post inquiring if anyone had had any problems with the IB. I just discovered the IB has a page at their website titled 'Feedback and Complaints' (see link below). The page offers courses of action including an "IB complaints procedure" if you have "concerns relating to practices occurring within the IB or an IB World School" or "concerns relating to a product or service accessed directly from the IB (examples include professional development workshops, transcripts ordered via the IB website or products purchased through Follett)", or "concerns about assessment decisions".
But what was surprising is that the IB actually has an 'IB Whistleblowing Policy'. It is downloadable from the link below. Is it a bad indication and particularly disturbing that an educational organization would have the need for a whistleblowing policy? This makes me think they may have had and continue to have numerous dissatisfied employees and customers.

No new reviews for some days now? It's December :)

No new reviews have been posted since November 27. Isn't that a long time? And it's now December. Isn't the 'Latest Reviews' page usually reset by now; it's December 2.
