Do you agree International schools are charging too much?

[Andrew]

 
  We cannot say all International schools are taking advantage of the demand for  quality education. However, the general impression is that some of them  invent reasons to prove their case. All the lavish investment on luxury and decoration of the school's physical structure earned from the fee and donation taken from parents are in sharp contrast to their claims providing high quality education. If so, their teachers and employees  must be paid high salaries, with  regular professional development  and housing facilities. Such things do not  happen. We coiuld see frequent paper ads looking for teachers from the same schools. What  does it  indiate ? If the  teachers  are happy why hire new teachers

Dear Andrew,

I do agree with you. How international you are ? is more important than what do we call international .

 I am really upset by the question that international schools are charging too much. No its not true because the operational costs are so high these  days. What do you think would it cost us to run a school with all the state of the art facilities? I run  one myself in Hyderabad and the forum owner knows the situation of our problems meeting both ends. It is quite true for those guys who simply grabbed lands across the country through political and unfair means and then took a high premium from parents taking advantage of the locale. I know and I am familiar with those who have no scruples either. I feel sorry for the parents. There are those who make lot of high tech propoganda with their loot from the public. There guys who go on TV channesl to blow their trumpets as if they are the  authorities on Educational standards. No all are not the  same. There are very good schools and very conscientious administrators who have values  . Its up to you to idenitify them.

 Madam Pavithra,

You don't seem to belong to the clan of  the Educational mafia. They run schools like  star hotels not so much for
inculcating knowledge & discipline  but out of pure greed. They will talk   all the superior wisdomof charging so high because they give you so much crap on the gold plate. It is all comple bull....They are not genuine. None of them can claim to be dedicated educators. They have pledged to plunder the parents in the name of money. Why suddenly do you think everyone is getting into this game of building schools  ...you find all sorts of guys among them including those who have crimninal records.
You run a good school only when you pay well your teachers keep them  happy and donot overburden them. Otherwise it is all slave trade.
