The International Schools Review Forum

Just got the latest ISR newsletter, where there's a synopsis of the latest reviews of schools and administrators. For the love of god, one of the admins listed is at "Camen Islands International School."

Actually, she's not there anymore (no matter how one spells it). I did a quick check and she's been at AS Japan since 2013!

MODERATOR'S COMMENTS: DO REALIZE THAT TEACHERS WILL POST ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES YEARS AFTER THEY LEAVE A SCHOOL. SINCE THE ADMINISTRATOR IN QUESTION IS NOW IN JAPAN, AND STILL ON THE CIRCUIT, IT WOULD WELL SERVE TEACHERS CONSIDERING A JOB AT THE JAPAN SCHOOL TO KNOW THE HISTORY AND BEHAVIOR OF SAID ADMINISTRATOR. CLICKING THE "ADMIN REPORTS" LINK IN THE MEMBER AREA WILL BRING UP AN INDEX TO SCHOOL ADMIN. THUS TEACHERS CAN SEE HOW A SPECIFIC PERSON HAS BEEN REVIEWED AT THEIR CURRENT AND PREVIOUS SCHOOLS. IF NO INFO YET EXISTS FOR THEIR CURRENT SCHOOL, PREVIOUS PERFORMANCE SHOULD BE A GOOD INDICATOR OF WHAT TO EXPECT. FOR THIS REASON WE POST SUCH REVIEWS EVEN AFTER PERSONNEL HAVE LEFT A SCHOOL.

IN THE FUTURE WHY NOT CONTACT US THROUGH A CONTACT US FORM AND ALERT US TO YOUR CONCERNS SO WE CAN WORK TO MAKE THE SITE THE BEST IT CAN BE.

It wasn't the fact that she was no longer at the school, but that the name of the COUNTRY was misspelled. It's CAYMAN Islands.

And in the synopsis that just arrived today, there is a school listed in Libreville, GANON. The country is spelled GABON. And there's a school review in UKRAIN--there should be an E on the end.

Guess I should just stop reading these emails.

Yes, some posters are not good at spelling. You are right. Also keep in mind that many of these reviews are dashed off by the poster and not edited.

So can you correct the misspellings on your end? I hate to think of someone researching various schools/countries and not being able to find them because they're misspelled.

Is your suggestion that the forum admins and moderators should provide copy editing services for posters?
