Logistically it is going to be almost impossible to get both children to different schools on time and to pick them up. They are both going to be new to Doha and new to the schools so that makes me anxious enough without putting negotiating traffic into the equation :) Also, I wouldn't feel comfortable letting one of them go with a driver who would be a stranger.

Going to take DESS and hope for the best. I'm sure that over the long summer waiting lists will move around a bit. If not, I shall have to look at homeschooling (eek!) or a tutorial centre for my child still on the wait list.

But yes, I am very lucky to have been offered places at more than one school in Doha and for that I am very thankful.
