i'm guessing that none of you ladies (of course i could be wrong) is Egyptian, the situation in Egypt is confusing i know, but the average egyptain is uninformed as a result of 30 years of corruption when Mubarak was the president. after the revolution in 2011, ppl had no idea about political parties and elections, and were very confused and scared of the unknown (talk about Stockholm syndrome after Mubarak left). we ended up with 2 candidates in round 2 of the first real presidential elections, one from Mubarak regimen and the other from MB (current president), ppl voted by elimination, n MB played the victim and gave big promises, among these promises a total improvement of education, economy and tourism within the 1st 100 days (totally unrealistic), so you can imagine the frustration Egyptians are feeling after 365 days not 100. in all cases, we are still beginners in democracy and i really hope that what's coming will be better than what happened the last 2 years since 2011.

Thank you Serenenic, then what happened to you is more than normal since the same happened to your son and he is french national, she did mention that if i'm lucky i might get a place in Sharjah, i wouldnt mind if we didnt live on the other end of dubai. Guess i have to come up with plan B which till now i still have no idea what it would be!

ladies, i registered my DD who just turned 3 in 2 - 3 schools so she can start school in September, since i studied in a french school back home my first school of choice was a french school here in Dubai, i started calling them in December asking when to register? they told me to keep an eye on their website, i kept calling and when they informed me i can start filling the form and submitting it, my form was filled and submitted the 1st day and made sure my DH went and paid the 500 registration fees. ever since i called twice and checked the website everyday, at first they said we will get the answers on 15/03/2012 then they rescheduled to 25/03/2012 due to the increasing number of applicants! Today i called asking for feedback just to be told that all seats have been filled with french nationals since priority is for french nationals, when i asked the person in charge how come this was never communicated on the many phone conversations or by email or on the website ( as if they can put that) she told me i dunno who you were speaking to but this is what we tell everyone!! (it's been her everytime i call) i asked her what about placing my file the first day and paying she just told me this is irrelevant!! My question is , is that fair so for me to get my daughter into any school she has to have this school nationality???i'm very upset and disappointed, and don't know what am i supposed to do since the other 2 schools didnt get back to us! Thanks for reading my long post thu, im just venting!
