ISR
is a third party venue and as such, teachers, school directors, principals,
board members, parents and other interested parties post reviews
to the ISR web site.
While
reading reviews of schools we suggest you note each author’s voice and
determine who it is that is speaking to you. A review written
by an administrator promoting themselves and/or their
school may possess a very different voice than a
review written by a teacher relaying pertinent information
to the international teaching community. As well, a teacher who
has submitted more than one review of a particular school can be
recognized by the similarity between writing styles and their unmistakable voice.
A
series of outstanding reviews contradicting a history of poor
reviews may be a school director organizing his/her
supporters to post to the web site, particularly around recruiting
time. When ISR receives such a series we display the post date
of the reviews so you have the information you need to make an
informed decision.

As
you read reviews on the ISR web site, keep in mind that all the reviews
are received from anonymous authors. As a public bulletin board,
ISR posts all reviews. Therefore, paying attention to the voice of
each author can help you determine of what value the information
in a particular review may be to you. We always recommend additional
research.
