I agree with one of the postings on this website regarding parents moving their children from school to school hoping to find the best school. My son started in DPS in 2002. The problem I faced was that the teachers were insensitive. They only want to teach the children who are bright. They are extremely aggressive with children who are average and treat them in a manner by which the parent will move the child out of the school. They claim that they will go out of their way to teach children who need extra assistance but do nothing about it. If your child is above average, DPS is the school for your child - if not DMIS is a better bet. The principal and the supervisor are willing to listen to you - something that was lacking in DPS. They try to help and the teachers are sensitive to your needs. Probably due to the feedback from the parents, they have now introduced feedback sessions for the parents. All children are given an opportunity to develop their abilities- it is upto you to grab it. Both my kids are into sports, dramatics and I love it. I did not have this opportunity as a kid, although I studied in a prestigious "convent" school in India. I am not sure about BPS but the feedback from parents is good. Ideal and MES - again there are the people who say good and bad about these schools. I know people who studied in MES/Ideal who are now in senior positions in organisations within Qatar itself - so it cannot be that bad. It all boils down to what you want from your child's school. Do your homework and you will find the right school.
I wanted my children to be in a school where they would not be under horrendous pressure from the school to achieve, the number of students in a class would be less than 40, the child would have opportunity to explore his abilities in other activities and I think in most aspects, DMIS has met my goals.
There are issues and I have met the principal directly regarding the same. If I were to change a famous quote - Don't ask what your child's school can do for your child, ask what you can do for the school. Work with the school and you will get there.
