What happened at southbridge?
I saw a post from southrbridge on their fb page which completely shredded the reputation of their new head of school, Dwayne something, with a link to www.internationalschoolsreview.com. I'm a bit of a penny pincher so if anyone is willing to pay the subscription i'd be interested to read more about this character. I was considering southbridge for my eldest next year, but not if the head is some kind of nutter.
Does anyone know more about this place? Is it like northbridge but cheaper?

The reviews were from the directors review section. So not from his time at southbridge. From previous schools where he was in leadership.
Appears the post has been deleted, I just so happened to screenshot the mentioned posts when I saw it last night, will upload them tomorrow when I have decent wifi connection.
I know of several teachers (real teachers, the school doesn't, or at least didn't, hire non-qualified, experienced teachers... not TEFL'ers) who have been sacked from or left Southbridge in disgust in the past year and a half, and many families who have withdrawn their children from the school also.
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.

He just started at Thai International School in October?
how did they not know about this guy before they hired him? or did he just tick the 'white, male and native english speaker' box? maybe school will strike lucky with head #6
You don't even know the guy yet you are attacking him which he did not do anything to harm the school or students.
Everything you read online is not 100% true. You can do your own background check to his previous schools since you are not busy with your life or you are not working and get back to this post if your allegations are true.

Which bits aren't true?
1. Stafford university MS being from Uganda?
2. University of the People Masters not being complete?
3. Being "certified" in the IB?
That's the factual stuff.
1. Certainly seems that it is a correspondence uni based in Uganda. So real in some sense. But why would a top level academic leader use it?
2. They have a lovely website and have a very low bar to enter the course. Which is fine and admirable in some ways. But again, why would a successful head of school choose it?
3. I'm guessing the certification here refers to completion of workshops run by the IB. But the wording is a little misleading.
All the other stuff, who knows? I'm sure Southbridge obtained up-to-date criminal records checks, obtained confidential references, original docs and followed up on what are public concerns.
But it's fair that people would be concerned reading stuff like this and would seek reassurance. The onus is on the school to provide that reassurance, which is a simple act.

What's interesting is that it was obviously an employee, or ex-employee of Southbridge who posted those on the Facebook page, as they were by posted by the schools account...I doubt there would be many people employed by the school who have administrator access to the account.

Please send the official letters from the schools you have mentioned, show some proof.
Seems like you know everything especially the school that he is currently working. And I do agree with you 100% about FB admin access. So far that is one thing that I am on your side.

Knew you would jump on. Your review is the only ISR review defending him, but its ok we know why. Wanna share why your exit from your last school was so sudden? Or the two before that?Bea86 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 7:57 pmYou don't even know the guy yet you are attacking him which he did not do anything to harm the school or students.
