A
Parent/Board Member Speaks Out
...Dear
ISR,
...I
read with interest your recent article
about legal
threats made by schools and their
attorneys against
ISR. Apparently, reviews considered
critical
of schools, or the people who run them,
have the potential to
hurt some feelings. From my perspective
as an executive in a multi-national
corporation (currently in Asia), I
recognize this knee-jerk reaction.
A loud threat from attorneys is the
way of business everywhere in the world.
...I
had a brief experience working as a substitute
board member for the international school
in which our daughters are enrolled. This
experience opened my eyes as to the disparity
between the sense of caring found in public
schools back home and the hard line profit
motive found in private schools. This was
a startling realization for me. Schools
and teachers carry an aura of hope to save/help
the world; but the reality is, this private
school, and I would imagine others, was
purely a money-making endeavor.....Owners
most certainly see you as a commodity.....It
may be hard to accept that you’re
just not that special....

Jailed
Qatar Academy Teacher, Dorje Gurung, Freed
A Letter to Eric Sands,
Director of Qatar Academy
Thanks
to the efforts of many individuals around
the globe, Dorje Gurung has been freed
from a Qatari prison and is safe in his
native Nepal. You can read about the details
on Dorje's Facebook page.
In regards to this incident, many educators
felt compelled to share their intrepertation
of the events at Qatar Academy which led
up to the firing and subsequent jailing
of Dorje Gurung, who allegedly insulted
Islam during a conversation with some 12-year-old
students. You can read teachers' comments
on the ISR
Blog and Forum.
Obviously,
there are two sides to every story and ISR
believes Mr. Sands would welcome the opportunity
to relay his account of the situation to
the ISR community. To this end,
ISR has sent Mr. Sands an invitation
to respond by eMail. We
have not yet received a reply.
