How would you rate International School of Bucharest (ISB)?
Teachers in early and primary school behaving like they never attended any form of education, screaming and treating kids unprofessionally. Heaving "preferred" students, most of the time kids of their fellow teachers. Missing classes and leaving assistant teachers to fill their roles. Nothing is changing, even after complaining to the primary school head, because teachers are always right, they never did or said anything they are accused of. Lies and screaming about and to the children is a practice. Academic assessments are a joke; copy and paste almost all the time for all the kids. There is no real communication with the parents; don’t be fooled by advertising when you first talk with the head of primary. Each year, there are parents choosing a different school because of the behavioural problems of some of the primary teachers.
What this school offers is very costly instruction, not education. It is really quite disappointing, the reality does not match their rhetoric, the teachers, with very few exceptions, are plain, stiff and boring, the vast majority of students, especially the local ones, are just spoiled brats and a bad influence for those who come from different backgrounds. A very rigid "Eurasia meets the Balkans" kind of a school that only mimics the Western standards of education.
