I went to Merryland all the way up until the 6th grade and I’ll tell you my experiences from over there. The teachers were some of the worst human beings I’ve met in my life, they humiliated you in front of the entire class, they care about nothing but your performance, they don’t care even a little about your mental well-being, let me add that they also physically beat you, sometimes they’d pull on my ear or just slap me and for the stupidest reasons too, once it was because I misspelled a difficult word in KG2. The buses are horrible, unclean, and the bus aunties always blame the problems on the kids, the bus drivers were reckless. Bullying was a huge issue and the principal (ms shiba) did not care at all, not to mention they only treat you like humans because of your status. I had an argument with a kid who bullied me a lot and when I fought back, they took his side. They’re also 2 faced, they change up so much when inspectors arrive

This was the first school I went to, I was there for around 9 years. It was really hard to actually want to go to school. The teachers are mostly really rude and they treat students terribly, they do not care about anyone's wellbeing and are overly mean and strict (not all of them, there were exceptions but very few) They call parents and humiliate students in front of the class for a laugh, the teachers are terrible. There are barely any sports and mostly you have to pay and it's not available to everyone. On the creative side of things, there is almost nothing. No music or art or anything to showcase students' talents. The pressure on students to do well is over the top. Getting good grades was the only thing students had to think about and the pressure from teachers and sometimes parents were horrible. It is not good for student's mental wellbeing. Lastly bullying was very common and the teachers, no matter how much you asked for help did not care about doing anything. I remember many, many bullies and fights that took place, it didn't feel like a safe environment. Overall I hated most of my time there and I feel sorry for my friends here right now. Do better merryland.

The teachers become strict easily. They always say '' I will give you one nicely,simply talking''. The urdu teacher Ms Saima always gets mad at small things and starts calling our parents on small things. The English sir of grade 7 shows too much favoritism.The hall conductor is always screaming and shouting. The washroom aunties always kick us out of the washroom. The bus drivers are so bad they always look at you in a bad way. The bus aunties shout so much and then blame the problems on the children. The buses are so dirty they never clean them and the bus aunties stink. The teachers act so nice when inspectors come they tell the children to act nice and kind. This school can't even afford a single tissue box. The teachers ask the primary children to bring so many glues and keep them with them for years. They don't even have a canteen they should have cause we students have to stay back and get hungry. They are always drinking tea in front of us. The teachers pay to much attention to the Arabs and everything for the Arabs. For the UAE national day, they always make Arabs dance never us. Some girls in the school always ask for food as if they haven't eaten for days. Don't admit your child to this school it is a hell of many cockroaches and insects in the classrooms.

Im so happy i left this school. The teachers are so strict and embarrass you in front of the entire class. They don't let us do anything and they say the school ends at 2:00 pm but the buses usually had to leave at 2:25 pm. The ADEK guidlines state that the school should have a prayer room, the only thing is that the school does have a prayer room but we can never use it. I have only been there once in my 10 years of going to this prison. We never had any breaks except for this "lunch break" where we could not even talk to our friends and it only lasted 10-15 minutes. They change when it is inspection time so that is why they manage to get outstanding every time. I hated this school so much

I am a a student in MIS and it is really fun. In assembly you can dance and sing and do really fun activities but the only thing we don't have mid term breaks but we have extra holidays

There is very little extra curricula activities for students. There is lack of accountability and responsibility from cchool management regarding transportation, bullying and parents' concerns. The attitude of school management is very arrogant and unprofessional. The students are harassed in the name of discipline.

The school is toxic and the I can say that half the school would agree with my statement. The principal punishes us for the smallest things and there's not tolerance and mercy shown to the students what-so-ever, the school doesn't provide good education, (we all have to listen to the same thing and people who have a different way to learn things don't have a choice). MIS uses things where students are not shown any sympathy as they take pictures and show fear to students for the smallest reasons. For some reason we're told to not talk during "break times" which is a measly 10 - 15 minutes. and we have no other breaks. In fact that's the only time we're allowed to eat. To put things simply, we're all controlled and have no say what-so-ever. The total costs are not worth paying for what we get. And I can't see the school trying to improve either.

Toxic environment , my kids are miserable , reputation is all fake only gardes 10-12 are acceptable. Management of the school is way old style and they don’t respect students at all .
