There have been a number of postings on QL about school secretaries and principals not answering e-mails or somehow forgetting to return telephone calls. Yes, the short-term solution is to go to the school (or schools) in person and to keep going there until you get a clear answer.
It would be great if headmasters, headmistresses and school owners actualy bothered to read postings on QL about educational issues, but my guess is that they don't. (Maybe they do not know how to use the Internet.) I have never read a single QL posting by a Doha school principal, even though there have been many, many postings from frustrated parents on the subject of the lack of school places, waiting lists, poor communication and other serious concerns. As a teacher myself, I sympathise with the genuine concerns and worries that many expat parents have.
