[QUOTE="Rannveig, post: 181746, member: 5689"] Thanks, Sheila. The school actually does accept U.S. government funding (and other governments' funding as well) in return for taking U.S. (and other countries') diplomats' kids -- but it doesn't believe it owes anything beyond saving some seats each year, apparently. Very disappointing that they seem to run themselves as a business rather than as a place to help children develop. Too bad that public school isn't an option for us -- I know that people have plenty of problems with public schools as well, but it was an environment that was much more comfortable for me and seemingly more accountable to parents. Having grown up going to public schools I always imagined private schools as these super-caring places where all sorts of innovative stuff must go on to help students achieve greatness in small classes with highly motivated teachers, but this place where we landed seems to have more the attitude of "hand over your tuition and then keep your mouth shut unless you're donating a new field house." Anyway, thanks again for your reply! Ranny [/QUOTE]
