I subscribe to a pay website called International Schools Review. They have a name and shame part for International Schools. Although there are quite a few from LOS...the bulk of complaints come from the Middle East...some are quite serious. Here is a quote:

The vast majority of teaching professionals, and I personally know dozens, who have taught in Kuwait know it to be the "arm-pit" of the international education circuit. You go to a job fair and, if all else fails, you can be hired in Kuwait at the drop of a hat....Some years ago there may have been several decent schools but this all changed with the advent of Kuwait ownership. There are major problems with all of them - if this wasn't and isn't the case then why would such a tiny, inconsequential country be so over-represented in the negative reviews on the ISR site? The people who stay there, year after year, do so for one reason - money! It is a gravy train of private tuition and people can bank their teaching salaries.

Pookie I think I am allowed to send you a copy. If you want to see it you can PM me.
