Hired a private tutor and have been home schoolingzestypoon wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 5:56 amWhere did you relocate them to?
I'm looking for something decent in a similar price range.
What happened at southbridge?
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.
Before Covid parents who home schooled were usually vegan, anti establishment, hippy flat earthers who didn’t use deodorant.
Now it’s mainstream. They’ll hate that.

How does that work out for you financially - in comparison to the fees at schools like southbridge?
I do like the flexibility with home schooling… but I don’t have the time, patience or maybe also aptitude to oversee it.
It wasn't cheap by any means, tutor was only doing half days, but it was great for the kids well worth the money. Unfortunately the teacher moved home so we are now searching for a new school.
I should add that the main reason we withdrew the kids from SB was due to the online learning, initially class sizes were 10 students max, then teachers started getting sacked or resigning due to reduced salaries (even though their workload actually increased with online teaching), then the class sizes increased to 20+ students, was absolutely pointless, not fair on the kids...and still being charged full tuition!

He appears to have taken a role as Head of School at another third-rate school, this time in Vietnam. He's using the same hilarious welcome message he's used at every school he's ever worked at . We all know he can't write a paragraph, so the whole thing is just uncited copy-pastes from Brainy Quote, and laughably, mostly Helen Keller, Walt Disney, and even Ronald Reagan .

The rest is either a mishmash of other quotes from Google searches, or incomprehensible word salad. Interestingly, the only real change he has made to this message is the removal of his supposed QUALIFICATIONS!!! Now, I wonder why that might be????? Ha! Won't be long until someone at the school realizes what a fraud he is.
Anyone else up for helping this school to use Google search appropriately?

I'm in . What are we doing?
Depends on what level of visibility you're comfortable with. Facebook messenger the school, post links to this thread on comments, email the school, send links to ISR....Goosemam wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 7:11 pmI'm in . What are we doing?
If track record is an indicator of future achievement, he will be out on his ass within months.
Cool. What did u post? Looks like they've been deleted? Got screenshots?
Dwayne has also recycled the has been liars from Footprits and Southbridge. How are teachers ever going to respected with jerks like him around?
Is that who those teachers are? Why on Earth would anyone follow Dwayne across borders to a yet-to-be school? He'll be out the door one way or another in a year or two!!! When would be the last time Dwayne Lehman actually completed a full academic year at one school?
Hello, I want to send my child to an international school where Mr. Dwayne Lehman is the director of the school. So after reading your article, I am worried. Do you have any evidence to prove what you're talking about?
My email is [email protected]. I would like to talk more with you
thank you

Dwayne Lehman should not be allowed anywhere near a school and its children. I can't imagine there is anyone in the world in a school leadership position who is as uniquely unqualified. Let’s be clear. The "Stafford University" setup doesn't even merit the term "diploma mill" as that would imply there was actually some completion of low-quality coursework. Dwayne simply just bought his "Masters of Educational Administration" from this fake degree website without actually completing any coursework. Here is a link to a news article which mentions this exact scam:
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-38494664
"An agency set up to investigate the issue, Higher Education Degree Datacheck (Hedd), said it had reports of more than 90 bogus institutions.
It follows a BBC South East investigation which found fake University of Kent degree certificates on sale online in China for £500.
Jayne Rowley, the higher education services director at Prospects which runs Hedd, said last September was its busiest month so far, with the closure of four bogus university sites and three websites selling fake degree certificates from multiple UK universities.
'One of the institutions we shut down in September was Stafford University. Now, of course there is an entirely genuine Staffordshire University, so they are piggy-backing on a name," she said."
Dwyane is the epitome of academic and intellectual dishonesty. Dwayne's work history should also raise serious red flags, for any organisation that bothers to examine it, that is.
He was fired from his first international role in Gabon around 2012, shortly into his second academic year. From there, he seems to have bounced around a few schools in Saudi Arabia, apparently failing to complete a full academic year at any of them. From there, he arrived in Vietnam around 2014 to take a Principal position at a low-quality chain of schools there, Singapore International School. Here, he left abruptly again in the middle of an academic year after untold amounts of drama and another teacher revolt, and cost the school its WASC accreditation. Due to this, he is now unable to obtain a work permit for Vietnam. He left Vietnam to take a position at a new startup school in China in mid-2016, taking a handful of teachers from SIS with him that he had encouraged to break contract. In true Dwayne style, he left after only a few months citing health reasons, leaving those teachers who had loyally followed him high and dry.
Just a week later, in July 2016 and magically recovered, he took a role as a director of a Korean-owned boarding school in the Philippines, bringing along a 20-year old, unqualified Vietnamese love interest who would essentially help him run the school into the ground. It’s worth reiterating here that Dwayne was able to get all of these jobs by blatantly lying about his academic qualifications, which should be enough to preclude someone from ever working at a school. It’s clear from this pattern that he gets in way over his head and has to leave shortly afterwards when teachers and administration realise what’s going on. This took a long time to happen at this school in the Philippines. Apparently, and quite laughably, the Korean board of directors believed they had snagged a “Stanford” graduate, and he was marketed as such. Lol. After 2.5 academic years that sent the school into a complete tailspin resulting in parent and student revolts, the board finally did some due diligence, and Dwayne was finally fired in late 2018. This was only after several serious incidents implicating Dwayne, one of which involved ordering the handcuffing of a high school boy after he was found with alcohol in a dorm he wasn’t supposed to be in. There were also a string of incidents involving a serious lack of professional distance with high school boys, many complaints from parents, and accusations of extreme favouritism from the girl students at the school.
From there, he made his way to Cambodia to take a director role at Footprints International School in 2019, and the Dwayne Lehman pattern continues unchecked. After a series of parent and student revolts resulting in the school board looking in more depth at his background, he was ostensibly given an ultimatum to leave or be fired, leaving the school in 2020. His next move is a little Kaiser Soze. He takes a role as Deputy Director at “Thai International School” in Bangkok, and his welcome to the school from October 2020 is still live on their Facebook page:
He can’t have been there long, as he is now, inexplicably, appointed as director of Southbridge International School in Cambodia. Kaiser Soze….
Does this sound like the work history of a professional school leader, or that of a conman? I’ll let you decide.
If anyone from the Southbridge International School community is reading this, I implore you to demand that Dwayne’s history and appropriateness for this role be suitably examined. Demand that questions are asked. Dwayne should absolutely not be in this position and should be removed from Southbridge International School.
