Does anyone know anything about the school, country, or Head of School?
Thanks.

Yes, and to start with, Jamie isn't the Head. He's the Principal. The Head is a military man. Jamie's pretty high up the chain of command, number two to the Brigadier's number one. And he does a lot of the hiring.
The country is what you make it. Many people settle in for a long time, while others find it not to their taste. If you give us a clue what you're looking for, people might be able to say if you might like it.
The school has had its challenges and is trying hard to settle down and get better. Some teachers remain who cannot see beyond their own personal interests, but they are not likely to stay past this year. The positive teachers who are already in place, are moving the school forward. If more positive teachers join next year (you?), momentum could skyrocket.

Sid,

I am actually writing for a friend who still refuses to sign on to ISR- he FEARS reprisals from his present school.
This guy is a good teacher, positive, the type who would be a good colleague.
He is pretty adaptable and wants a school that is in a country where he can settle in and work out, swim, read, study the local language. He also wants high earning potential - of course - as he has paid his dues in other schools and feels he should start to think more about the financial package.

Any other information would be appreciated.

Sounds like someone who could be happy in Qatar.
