You really need to look at why you want to send your child boarding, what is so bad here that will be worth the sacrifice to the family. I have been a boarder and have sent children and brought one child back because it did not work. The most important thing is the school choice and the pastoral care policy. All schools have bullying but how they deal with it is of prime importance, this one aspect can make or break your child regardless of everything else on offer. Sports and academically wise i feel most schools in say the UK are far superior to what is available here for many reasons. It can really work and it can be a disaster, choosing the right school for your child is key. I totally disagree about boarders being more successful in life, privilege and connections is probably nearer the truth on this, emotionally inept comes to mind from some schools.

Ruth i would go to DNATA visit the EK section and speak with them directly about this, it is well know that anyone who takes a disabled seat can be moved by staff should the seat be required, like bassinate seats. How ironic the call was a problem UK side...........

We were looking at spending a lot more than 100K. My husband's rent allowance like a lot of our friends has decreased with new contracts not increased. This seems to be the trend not the big increase that agents seem to think is the way forward! A 100k USD is what I meant. Why quote in USD when the currency here is AED?

There was a lovely short film made about exactly this in the AD film competition this year. The exact same story and how the kid came to terms with the maids departure. Explain that said maid has her own family and now that your child is old enough to look after himself she needs to go back to her own children and be a mum to them (artistic license needed here). Work on those lines and you will be fine.

A little while ago there was a thread here about a certain British airline. Well I am going to tell you why this airline is better. No their staff are not all young and attractive, no they don't serve amazing food but they do have some consideration for ill health and elderly people. 1. In September I was due to fly with a British airline. I was sick and my doctor advised me I could not fly. I was concerned and therefore contacted the airline as my flight was a miles reward booking and their website were not showing any more availability for months! Not a problem they said. Send us the doctor letter and once you are fit to fly sent us another letter to that effect and we will put you on the next available flight regardless of the fare type. I actually ended up having to change the flight twice, both times I was assisted by a very helpful person who spoke perfect English. Will the other local airline do this. Not a chance. 2. My grandmother is 89 years old and flying shortly with this local airline. Now BA will move seats around to ensure you is seated in an accessible seat with access tot he toilet. In fact BA hold two rows of accessible seats until the last 48 hours for such instances. The local airline just advised us they were seating my 89 year old frail grandmother in row 12 of 21 and told her it was near a toilet. The toilets are at each end of the row. Seats 6 and 21 are near toilets, 12 hmm sounds like almost in the middle? Now they want to seat her separately from my mother, her carer. Again does this sound like a good plan. 3. Almost forgot this one. Dealing with the British UK call centre is a blessing. They don't cut you off, if they say they are going to call you back at a certain time they do, if they say they are going to call you on a certain day, they do and if they can't get through they try again until they can. I tried both the UAE and British numbers for this local airline, got cut off three times before being put through to the most uncooperative and unhelpful person on the planet who I could barely understand (this was the UK number). So which airline is best? Well as with a great many things, the local airline is perhaps glossy on the outside, but scratch the surface... edited by RuthM on 29/11/2013 You've got to be kidding. With Ek you can pre allocate your seat choice, very very simple process. If you want more room pay for business. Just how close do you need to a toilet? Disabled seats are available, did you book one of these or ask for one of these? A short stroll, ie 10 yards to a toilet is surely not a big problem for anyone fit enough to fly? Sounds as if you were unlucky re the telephone call, but as all calls are recorded all you have to do is write in and site it in your complaint. I would personally never fly with the other airline you think is so wonderful based on far more issues than you mention, give me EK anyday.

http://whichschooladvisor.com/ If you are looking for long term then look at the schools that are achieving the highest IB scores in the UAE. In looking at IB diploma scores you are looking at 15 years down the track (if you have small children)! A lot can happen in that time. Schools that are new to the IB system now may take a while to develop the knowledge and expertise and typically scores improve as staff become more familiar with the system and what is expected. Most schools here are new to the IB system with some opening at the same time and the results are proven in a short short time which are better and mange to retain their staff. 15 years down the track ha ha ha ha ha.....................mind boggles.

I don't actually see the point of the article or understand its motive. Is the bottom line to succeed in Dubai you have to support the illegal fake market and be chavy? I think not. Anyone who knows anything about designer goods can spot a fake a mile off! Work hard, put luck on your side, have a great concept and Dubai can give you the opportunity to make a dream come true.

I know it is a massive commitment and you have to be serious. Whether you think it's worth paying is your choice. Many performance companies here have their own annual productions where there is no charge for the child being part of the show.

Please do not disable the front airbag............I am recovering from a horrendous car crash which wrote off our CRV and the other car. Friends who drove past the wreckage shortly after the accident were horrified at the scene and assumed there had been fatalities, I quote "No one could have survived that". Thanks to the airbags. we have broken bones and lacerations but no internal injuries, and are buying another CRV. Goodness, sorry to hear that LT, thank goodness all ok. Quick recovery wishes!

Ok if she's wearing low cut tops, or tight fitting things and you have a good relationship I would say something along the lines of " Oh wow the girls/boobs/knockers/ are looking good tonight" or whatever you use to describe them. Just compliment her! She went through hours of surgery, saying something nice will always be good. That's what I was thinking Ilovechoos. If they are covered up I'd never say anything but if they are arranged for display then I always wonder if a compliment is in order. In much the same way if someone swapped their Yaris for an Ferrari and did a slow drive through of the school carpark I'd assume they wanted their new car admired.

Wow, just wow Lolacat - are you seriously equating a monetary value to a LIFE?! You post has to be one of THE most uncompassionate I have ever seen. And the old chestnut 'there are other more important issues' - what and people are incapable of discussing and caring about more than one thing? Shame. Fairydust, i ran businesses involving animals for years and faced these same issues, i have little sympathy for those who dump their animals or debtors. As i have just spent over 5 k at the vets last week saving one of my rescue cats from poisoning I would hardly believe i am not compassionate when it comes to animal welfare. However, i am able to prioritize and this "case" in the scheme of the worlds issues is IMHO is seriously at the bottom of the list. It is not an animal welfare case, the animals are dead. If so many were concerned then why did they not step froward and pay the bill prior to this or rehome the animals? The answer lays within the story.

It once again boils down to commitment to your pets. While in DXB and fostering I came across so many folk who because they felt sorry for the animals just kept on taking more and more in not thinking long term.When the doodie hit the fan said animals were just turfed out or just left on the street. Now I am not saying this couple just left the animals on the street but at some point you HAVE to take responsibility for your own animals and it seems in this case they were hoping against hope that the co would just continue to look after the dogs. This being said the boarding kennels could have been more humane and I am sure would have been able to have the dogs taken over by any no of rescue organizations. What upsets me is what they went though before they were put down, months in the kennels away from their homes and then a trip to death row. I have had to make VERY hard decisions about my pets in the past that nearly broke my heart BUT I made those decisions because there was no other alternative ,the difference was that I was with the fur baby till the end, I owed at least that to them.:'( [b'>I agree Nomad . However, it is not known to what length the owner of the kennel did go to try to re home these dogs or who he spoke to about them, or what communications were made between the involved parties; far too much assumption and comment based on speculation. It is stated on here that a rescue organization already uses this facility so basic 101 logic would dictate that there would have been some communication about this issue. It is stated the dogs were not rehomeable, who is to actually know or prove any different to that at this point in time?

I don't think it is right to write about the owners of either the dogs or the boarding kennel on a public forum for many reasons. Saying that, there is a thing called contraception, there is a registry office and many weddings that do not need the facilities of a fancy hotel and there are laws protecting business from debtors. Whilst on an emotional level one may believe an animal is priceless from a business perspective a rescue dog is worth nothing on paper. Once a debt reaches beyond the defined level of value of goods then it normally becomes the property of the company owed the debt. Most business will have placed contracts in place stating this, even without not many courts would disagree. The owner of the business has every right to sell or do as he see fits in order to regain costs lost. What is the case exactly here? Seriously what is it? What will a legal case gain, resurrection of 4 dogs from the grave? The dogs are gone the kennel owner has lost several thousands of Dhs and the owners, well i' not exactly not sure from the information posted on here. There are thousands of issues going on in the world that deserve far more print ink than this one.

I disagree with so much said on this forum at times. The kennel is a business, whether you like it or not, have read reviews is irrelevant to the case. Why it is even news worthy is beyond me. Animals get put down all the time and sometimes it is the most practical, economic and viable option and arguably the most compassionate one. The world is awash with strays and it just is not practical to keep every one alive and or how "WE" would like to keep our animals. Decisions have to be made and sometimes those decisions have to be made by another party other than the owner due to an owner not wanting to make any decision at all. Pets are expensive to keep. Unfortunately just because you are an "ANIMAL LOVER" does not equate to being financially savvy and realistic about living within your means. Far too much emotion takes over when it comes to discussions about strays. Far too often it is self proclaimed [i'>Animal lovers [/i'>who are the biggest abusers of animals, somewhat ironic but sadly true.

I've never been comfortable about my son's gait since he was little and have asked several doctors, an osteopath and podiatrist for their opinions over the years, all of whom assured me there was no problem. He's now 13 and I'm still concerned, as he has an unusual run and sometimes complains of discomfort in his knees or hip. Has anyone had gait analysis done by a medical professional in Dubai? Was it helpful? Any recommendations for professionals who might diagnose the issue? Thanks for your help. Hi Frazzled, I know this is an old post but I was wondering is you manage to find a specialist who answered your questions? could you recommend anybody (orthopedic surgeon, specialist) as I am also a bit concerned about my son's gait. Thank you! I would go to either Dr Eissa Hemrani at CIty hospital or Up and Running (Dr Anna) depending on results from x rays i would be looking at further second opinions abroad.

My son complained of leg pain or a dead leg, he was only 4 at the time, this continued so took him to Dubai London clinic who referred us to an Ortho doc, mark somebody, who did x-rays & found he had Perthes disease, fluid on the joints! You could see it from the x-ray. This is something he should grow out of and is very common in boys, I'm sure he said 1 in 5! I think an Ortho doc and x-rays are the way to go. Perthes disease is not something you grow out of! And should be looked at seriously as the blood flow around the joint is effected meaning the joint can develop abnormally causing lots of problems in the future. edited by JShepherd on 22/10/2012 I couldn't agree more J Shepherd! Don't people google anymore? A simple google will clearly tell you that Perthes has nothing to do with fluid on a joint and needs careful monitoring and in some cases serious medical intervention.

I have no knowledge of Repton whatsoever, but I am always bemused when people comment about school standards here compared to the UK, and children sitting exams to TOP UK private schools and not getting places. I wonder if parents ever consider that it might be the level the individual child is capable of working at and not the school overall. Schools stream from a young age, not all children are academically capable of passing entrance exams to top private schools, but schools here frequently get the blame for not matching UK standards. Just saying! Yes they do get blamed and quite rightly IMHO.

There are probably many of the old time posters, who like me look in from time and to time, and occasionally post but more often sit on their hands and log off in despair. There appears to be a clique now of posters with a relatively hostile attitude to those expats who are more recent and less locally involved than they are. Which is a great shame for a site claiming to be free and friendly. Despair is quite a strong word, can't be bothered and aware of media regulations may be more closer to the truth. Most questions can be answered with a quick google.
