Exactly, so let us continue discussing the distressing issues that are upon us. There are real problems in Kuwait that we should stay focused on. Safety is one and helping officials there understand that American private schools must retain American administrators. Accrediting agencies require this and on the flip side the Ministry of Education in Kuwait are requiring private schools to be accredited.

Are we somehow going to help them or sit back and see what happens? Is there anyone out there taking the lead on this?

Miski, please do not bother to reply to this posting because I will not.
