\nComments:<\/span> Dear ISR, first of all, thank you for providing your services on this site.I would like to thank the longest serving Director of the AIS\/D, Michael Popinchalk for all his professional contributions.The message which I would like to share through your service is to represent all the positive results which are pretty obvious now, when Michael Popinchalk has completed his work at AIS\/D:<\/p>\n1) Choice of highly professional and experienced administrative group members.<\/p>\n
2) Quality recruitment of teachers and other faculty staff members.<\/p>\n
3) Establishment of ongoing process of training for support staff.<\/p>\n
4) Inspiration of a proud feeling of being an integral part of the school organization.<\/p>\n
5) Introducing programs such as English speaking classes for support staff. This initiative is highly appreciated by the support staff as to learn English language in Dhaka is very expensive and almost impossible for them.<\/p>\n
6) More structured teaching. Teachers are required to constantly monitor their instruction in class to improve student\u2019s learning, to make the learning process interesting, challenging and promoting student\u2019s curiosity for knowledge.<\/p>\n
7) The process en route IB program has been started. The hardest stage of the beginning has been completed. It was tough but under patient leadership of the administrative team, it was successful.<\/p>\n
8) The school has expanded significantly in the last five years. New facilities have been added and AIS\/D has become a safe place for the school community. This is particularly important in a place like Dhaka.<\/p>\n
9) Formation of Dhaka m8bet online sports bettings Association(DISA) comprised of several international schools in Dhaka has become an excellent venue for exchange of teachers professional ideas and experiences such as Teachers\u2019s workshop, mini-Nesa conferences.<\/p>\n
10) The school security has improved tremendously during this period. These are just a few things of Mr. Popinchalk and his administrative team\u2019s efforts to make this school one of the leading schools in South Asia. Managing a school is not an easy job, one cannot satisfy each and everybody. We all work, \u2018grow\u2019 and change in the process of our work experience.Regarding my opinion about the Dhaka city \u2013 It is over populated, expensive and becoming more and more unsafe. There are no safe places for children\u2019s activities except the schools and the clubs. But it has it own rich cultural background. Bangladeshis are very artistic and musical.<\/p>\n

\nComments:<\/span> Bangladesh is a tough place to live. The children are very nice and are excellent students. The administration overall is not recommended. The teachers recruited are, for the most part, very competent and a plus for the school. The package is adequate keeping in mind the high cost of living in Dhaka for a western lifestyle. Teachers are asked to do too much, in general. I enjoyed my time there but was very happy when I moved on. It was a very stressful working environment.
