[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] :cry: :cry:BSW has for us and our child during his last three and a half years in middle school, been a nightmare beyond proportions.  Of course on the social side he will fortunately keep good memories of his friends, but on the academic side (despite his good grades - at BSW maked in a most unusual incomprehensible way never experienced before) we cannot say the same.  The profit objective of this school overtakes everything else: 4 toilets for 400 people or rather, 2 for 350 kids and the other two for the staff.  No showers.  Unhealthy food catered in, supplemented by organized outings to safeway (under teacher supervision); bullying as a normal schoolyard activity; no phys ed. facilities (has to be begged from other institutiosn next door every time), outdated IT equipment, constant exodus of teachers (2/3 left in the last 14 months, while the shool is now 'led' by its third schoolmaster during the same period.  The fact this is the only international school that accepts kids anytime (all others have long waiting lists) speaks for itself.  We were blinded by the name 'British School' as our child comes from another 'British School' in another country, thinking it would be the continuation of the same standards, curriculum and teaching methods; grave mistake: Other than the name, it had nothing to do.  We are moving to a public shool very nearby, where facilities are a million times better (including healthy breakfast and lunch at the school, latest IMac, three IT rooms, inside and outside PE facilities etc).  Don t make the same mistake: Save your money and go elsewhere.[/quote][/quote]
