My children have been attending International School of Krakow (ISK) for the past 3 years. During those years, I've had a glimpse of the good and bad sides of the school. I know no school is perfect, not even an International school where you expect that high fees equals quality education! However, there are certain practices, beliefs and rules at ISK that sometimes makes me wonder if the grass is greener on the other side like British International School of Cracow (BISC)??? But, then again my kids are still at ISK because I see great potential in ISK and I'm always hoping that the school will realize their weaknesses and change for the better!
I'm forever talking (I am a woman after all!) to my husband about the school - the good, the bad and the ugly, and one day I asked him, "Do you think there are other parents out there who feels the same as me about ISK?" With this, he created me a blog so that I can get my thoughts across to a wider audience, and perhaps get some feedback from other parents. I think creating me a blog was a way for my husband to plea to other people to listen to his wife so he can sleep...
Nevertheless, I'm going to use this blog to share some of my experiences, thoughts and reflections about ISK. I hope that I will be able to receive as many responses as possible so that firstly, I don't feel so alone in thinking that I am the only one who thinks this way. And, so that my husband can finally sleep in peace.
I encourage all ISK parents to participate by voting on my blogs and share your thoughts in the comments section. I'm confident that our collective voice will provide ISK with the necessary feedback so that they're able to improve and become the school of choice for Cracovians.

Excellent idea! I ask so many questions to my wife that sometimes she is tired of them. This blog will be a way of finding some answers without bothering my wife too much.
Thank you for this initiative!
This is an excellent idea, specially for those like me who are not that often at school.
Thank you Lucy!

Our general thoughts on the ISK Parents’ Voices Blog
When we read Lucy’s first blog posting, the motives appeared pure, namely “to provide ISK with necessary feedback so that they’re able to improve and become the school of choice …”
After 7 subsequent postings, the comments have become less ‘constructive’ and have started sounding a bit like a vendetta. It’s hard not to notice the bitter tone in some of the entries.
We would humbly suggest that the blog return to its roots of discussing issues, and everyone stick to constructive comments aimed at improving the school. That was a great idea!
John & Kasia, could you let me know specifically which article(s) you found to be less constructive and sounding like a vendetta? This would be more constructive and helpful ;-)
