I am fed up with reading QL posts that imply that many (or even most) parents in Doha have a real choice when it comes to selecting a school for their children. Some schools won't even give your little darling a place on the waiting list, never mind an actual place at the school! Other schools give preferential treatment to parents who work for particular companies or who have a British passport. Hard luck if you're working for the "wrong" company or come from the "wrong" country.
Then there is the problem of what are parents supposed to do if they live on the "wrong" side of Doha from the school.
Next, I know for a fact that many schools in Doha have real problems recruiting and retaining teachers. You may think that your child is being taught by enthusiastic and well qualified teachers, only to find that most of them have already left or are going at the end of the academic year.
