I don’t think the Lady Mary is being judgemental at all, she is showing genuine concern and may well be picking some sort of behaviour up that is leading her to her concerns. IS there any way you can talk to her DH? Or to the midwife/health visitor, maybe she is PND? Do you think she is placing the baby at risk?

Hello, My son is in grad 9 now and wanted to do IB. Just wondering, what is the best way to get into IB ..does he have to finish MYP or can get easily into IB without the MYP?! And to get into IB do you have to get a certain grads ?! Please share with us your own experience ,,,thank you Yes your son either has to be in an IB school system now or to transfer to a school offering IB fulfil their (schools) own requirements. From the UK system they will need to have completed and passed at a good level IGCSE's or GCSE's. IB candidates will be required to have attained a certain number of grades, each school will determine the amount they require to join their school. Really the best thing is to look at the schools your son is interested in and then contact the school and speak directly to a Director of Studies about entrance requirements. HTH

If he can stay this may be the best option for many reasons, moving teens can be tricky especially during this phase. DESC are a really proactive school and very helpful, i hope they may be able to advise further. This age range is very difficult to move with schools doing different boards and courses, a real pain for families moving. I've had a few friends who have had to have their children re start year 10 due to a move, even with the GCC as course were not compatible. I hope you find the some answers, all the best.

Hello Ladies, I have some important documents on the way from Australia and the sender has put the physical address of my villa rather than the PO Box. Does anyone know if there is anything I can do or where it would go? Thanks in advance! Ok this is what you do. Ask the sender if exactly what address they placed on the package and which post they used, if they had a tracking number and if they put your telephone number on the package. Either call or go down to the central post office in Karama, it has to be this post office and go to the parcel section and tell them the story. This section is round the back of the building so to speak. They are really helpful and if you can give them as much detail as possible they will try to find the parcel for you. BUT, they only hold this sort of post for a while and will send it back if no one claims it. Make sure you take your Emirates ID card or passport as well and the name of the package is in the same name. This has happened to me several times. They are really helpful in the post office but do be prepared to ask and move counters and wait a bit. Also check the opening times. Good luck, i hope they find it for you. <em>edited by Lolacat on 29/01/2015</em>

Have you actually asked if any of the schools here will accept a new student going into year 10 now or year 11. Most will not and ask them to restart year 10 next year. You could ask DESC if they do this course or would do it next year. You could have a very difficult time moving a year 10 term 2 student now as even if you find the right courses they may well be at different stages of the course compared to your UK school. Is there no way your son could stay in the UK to finish year 11?

Wrong location to pull out a potty, she could have pulled it out somewhere more discreet not right in front of all the shops where everyone can see. Yes, she made a mistake, for whatever reason.......but wouldn't it have been nice if someone had offered to assist her rather than persecute her. <em>edited by Lolacat on 29/01/2015</em>

Nomad, one of mine has dry skin and i feed a couple of teaspoons a day of coconut oil mixed into the food and when i wash use a rinse of coconut oil. It really is excellent, i also use it on my skin and use as a hair conditioner. We also now cook with it. Try feeding as well, start with very small amounts, you do not need much, just a teaspoon or two a day in the food.

Is it wrong? Yes Is it disgusting? Probably But does it warrant a full news article with quotes solicited from Doctors, Psychologists, Shop Assistants giving grandiose statements about how the child will be damaged, and how they cannot believe it happened and so on? Do we see similar outrage when kids stick their heads out of sunroofs or dangle outside car windows? Exactly, and how is it digusting...last i checked everyone does it at some point!

I’m sorry but really? Is anyone really that offended by a small child showing part of the body and doing a perfectly natural thing? I’ve seen more grown men here taking a widdle on the side of the road near a bush or their lorry then anywhere in the world. In Europe it’s quite common to see children having a pee on the side of the road close to a car. So should everyone be offended when they see pictures of starving kids in war torn countries who are naked? For goodness sake the whole thing is quite ridiculous. Why didn’t someone go over and politely inform the mother this was not the done thing here and ask if they could assist her in any way? But Oh no, someone takes a photo and makes a big furore about seeing a toddler bottom! It must be Thursday! You know what has happened the mother has become obsessed by potty training as many new mums do and at every opportunity gets out the potty, she just lost her way a bit in her obsession for potty training. Isn’t there enough hate and intolerance on the world without having to use a small child to create more? <em>edited by Lolacat on 29/01/2015</em>

There are parents who make this journey and there is probably a school bus, you will need at least 40 to 45 minutes each way to be on time. Schools do not appreciate late parents and you never know what traffic will be like. Most people find a school and then find a house close to the school so their children do not have to spend forever sitting in a car travelling. Also bear in mind that this is not the UK and temperatures in the summer term can be very hot, therefore most try o reduce travel time to schools. If you have Primary age children then Foremarke would be closer. Also bear in mind schools have different finishing times and after school activities, so living far from a school would mean a lot of waiting around some days. For the Palm, if your children are strong academically and bright Dubai College is the nearest secondary school, however entry is tough and wait lists very long. I would ever rely on a taxi driver for such information. <em>edited by Lolacat on 29/01/2015</em>

Wow - what a post! So overwhelming and such important decisions for people to make! As a teacher, one thing I will say is this: everyone who has BEEN to school, thinks they are an expert on schools. Things change in education, Dubai is transient, who achieved the highest results in one year means little the next year, cohorts change, parent body changes, staff and leadership change, best practice in pedagogy changes. Determine what your criteria are for your children and look for evidence of success in those areas to determine the best fit for your children. Schools with high academic standards aren't the best fit for every child. Schools with the highest fees may not meet the needs of your child either. You know them best, interview the schools. People here may be Repton parents, Kings parents, NAS parents etc etc, but none of them are the parents of YOUR child. Only you can find the best fit for them. Good luck everyone! Stix, great post. I'm glad you highlighted results, many schools worldwide now refuse to share results publically for good reason, whilst some I’m afraid to say can distort them (worldwide). Not all schools follow the same exam boards for starters. Being such a transient society it’s also hard to gage if those results came from students who had been in the school long-term or joined from another. Also with the huge tutoring mentality and educationally active parents it is difficult to put results down purely to what happens in a classroom. I certainly know that had I not engaged tutors, results would not have been as they were due to gaps in content covered in the classroom. And I know I am not alone on that. Education is evolving and new schools are providing parents with more choice. Some schools are going to have to up there game to retain clientele, unlike a free sector, parents have the right to change schools. Like any service sector businesses will have to adapt to survive. Parents are soo much more involved in their schools now it really has changed how schools have to look at what they provide and how they deal with issues when they arise.

Personally I dislike misinformation and blindsided critic. Mrs Mozz actually posted a really good genuine post. Information posted about schools should be accurate, but accurate depends on perspective and own personal bias I suppose. Every school has issues wherever it is in the world, some parents will tolerate those issues others will not. Those who have/are experiencing issues are limited in response, hence such threads always become distorted. Stix has written an excellent post and great advice, and that is where the buck stops really. The individual child and what works for that child.

Hi all. Can you help please. We're moving to Dubai in April. Have an offer from Repton and two of the newer schools. We're not going to opt for the newer ones as our kids are in a very good private school over 250 years old so it seems wrong for us. Please can someone feedback on Repton. Although I've searched I can't see any posts with info on Repton. Someone mentioned theyve been deleted. But I sense negativity towards this school on this forum. Reference was made to not keeping promises. Please can someone guide us here. Should we look for another school? We do want the kids to be in atypical British school to ensure their transition is not disruptive. Do not discount the newer schools at all, changes can happen in any school regardless of how long they have been running. Do visit the schools are ask questions, it is a minefield but there are some good schools out there. The schools follow the BC, they will be different to what you are used to.

For something like that, I'd head straight to the specialists at the Neuro-Spinal hospital and have an MRI and a CAT scan done. These will show far more details than an x-ray. It could be all sorts, trapped nerves, spinal compression, muscular. You can see a GP for a referral first if your insurance requires it, or just go straight there. Agree, go straight to a GOOD GP and seek a referral to a specialist. Also Up and Running, Dr Anna.

I agree that it depends on what the original post is about. If you've chosen to air your dirty laundry in public, then you have to be open to the honest opinions that people might have about it. Complete and useless trivia moment; To talk to other people or in front of other people about personal things that should be kept private. You can also say “wash your dirty linen in public” and in America they use “air your dirty laundry/linen in public”. This expression was translated and amended from a French proverb: “Il faut laver son linge sale en famille” ("we should wash our dirty linen in private"). Napoleon quoted this in 1815 when he returned from the island of Elba after escaping. It was first used in English in 1867 by Anthony Trollope in The Last Chronicle of Barset.

Thank you all for taking the time to reply. I'm very impressed with your knowledge....which is way more up to date than mine ? We actually would like to retire out of here so that's another 15 plus years. DH is in construction which so far is stable enough. If you're buying a house here and have to leave before the mortgage is cleared, are you allowed to leave and continue paying from wherever you move to or rent it ? That's my concern really. Oh my, construction, stable? lol

The policy here is to underplay any unpleasant news and let it die its natural death... esp when there is no serious concern... it works beautifully for the image of the country and keeps the public calm... [b'>except for those who are always on a lookout for something to worry about...

Why not visit a nutritionist linked to a doctors for a proper diet and some tests to make sure you are not missing or low on something? Craving could well be a sign of a deficiency. Also a love of food is quite normal and a good thing, don’t make it a negative thing. After you have seen a Doc and nutritionist you can embark on a healthy eating program that works for you and still enjoy food. Stop buying **** food like McD's and take outs.

You have to remember this; 1) a huge outlay financially. 2) this is a dog that should be a member of your family for a long time, years. 3) a badly bred dog is highly likely to have medical issues that will cost you thousands in vet bills. 4) a badly bred dog could have serious behavioural issues. 5) all puppies look sweet but all grow up. 6) everything Nomad said and CC. 7) Ultimately you are being well and truely ripped off. 8) I can't even begin with the ethical side. So nope don't buy a mail order puppy or family member.

You need to clarify more when you state numbers, which currency for starters. 10K aed per month and no housing or schooling, forget it. 10K sterling with housing and schooling etc, yes. SO clarify what is on the table, otherwise no one can really help. Rentals are not that much cheaper in Bahrain, nor costs. So what is your housing allowance? ditto schooling? Medical Flights yearly each member of family? then salary take home? Or are they offering one amount for you to do as you wish with, if so what is that amount and the currency. Then posters can help you with information.

All of our cleaning is done with baking soda and vinegar. It works well and is cheap. where do you buy large packs of baking soda? I've been looking to do this for a while but have only ever seen the small fancy tins of baking soda in the baking stuff aisle, which I don't think would go very far. I found a 20 kg (!) bag at the Deira Fish Market about a year or so ago, still not finished with it. Its not the *best* quality baking soda, as its a bit clumpy. But we don't use it for baking, only cleaning and deodorant and so I don't mind.[b'> The bag says its from China[/b'>. I would love to have that bag sent for analysis to see what other elements may well be in it, how can Baking soda not be best quality? Surely BS is just that, maybe it's not best quality because it contains other substances?

If you type in Perry Beeches the Academy into schoolguide co uk (put in the dots) you will find all the stats in "the data" section. Which is not to say that NAS will be top 1% from the get go of course, though I'm sure they'll be aiming for that. There is also reference on the Perry Beeches website (head teachers reference) to top 1% for value added (which is how far a pupil of any given ability "improves" over and above/less than they would an "average" school. I learn something every day. Anyway...fun as this discussion no doubt is, I'm off to have my hair done as my roots are starting to show which is not a good look for me! Oh so nothing to do with academic results at all, just state school value added improvement increase from a failing school to a much improved one. Thank you.

Here in the UK, halal meat is sold in many main stream supermarkets, its is clearly labelled as such. I cannot imagine anyone ever thinking of making halal checkouts, people just make an educated decision on whether to buy halal or not. Same goes for pork. The choice is everywhere the same and the more the issue is blown up the less tolerance there will be between everyone. edited by chezmoi on 19/01/2015 As the UK is not a Muslim country it’s somewhat irrelevant to even mention what UK supermarkets do and what people in the UK want comparative to here.

I don't know the facts about about their current academic selection process, but what I can tell you is that when they have 500 applicants for 60 places, I think they can afford to be as selective as they want to be! When they fill their 5 classes per year group, this will be an tough school to get in to, which will probably be from Sep 2015 onwards. If they are not already selective now, rumour has it that it certainly is their intention to be.... As far as secondary goes, I know nothing about it except that their Head of Secondary has an impressive track record with his previous school, under his leadership, finishing in the top 1% of UK schools for the last 4 years in a row. The principle also boasts an impressive track record of being in the top 4% of the UK schools - even when his school was in China. 1% of what exactly?

It's quite a lot fuller now... The quality is very high though it is selective. Sports teams doing very well and the end of year drama production was superb. I'm a "fan" as you can see but in terms of secondary it's right up there with the best. The Secondary can not in term 2 be deemed right up there with the best surely? How? Based on what criteria? It could be, yes but will need some time yet to establish and have some exam results through. I've not heard a bad word yet about the school, everyone very happy but we shall see long term if they can keep up this reputation.
