The only problem I then found is that many of the schools were either full (or said they were full) or seemed positively disinterested in taking foreigners.
You have spend a bit of time typing your message above. And, while well thought out, misses a very relevant point. There were only 2 posters with axes to grind against this school. They both registered around the same time just to grind those axes and to link to another site (with a solitary poster with an axe to grind there - may well have been one of the same people that registered here for all I know). So the last two posters are just as relevant as the first two are from my point of view. You should have looked at the profiles of the other two who were ranting in the beginning as they also registered ONLY to post about this in two threads and have never posted again. So there is no difference with the exception that one of the original posters was spamming across multiple forums. That tells me something.Forks wrote: SMS, why is a poster who has never posted before, posting against the general opinions of other posters on this thread (and others) "unbiased" and the others automatically biased? If it was a regular to this forum I would be more inclined to agree with you but given that this is the first time that poster has been here it could just as much as be the schools PR dept doing some spin control/damage control as much as anyone else might be grinding their axe.
Schools defiantly have their teething problems but the level of International Schools in Singapore is very high (prices included I might add) but this one doesn't seem to be very high up in the public opinion of things here and I do wonder why more than just dismiss it as fabricated or malicious posts.
So are you actually saying you only know about this through two posters the forum?I have two kids in an International School and take the time to know what the school is doing and how my kids are, and in the course of meeting other parents I do hear about other schools and if I herd what I have read about CNIS I would want some answers.
