I can say only about Beanstalk International primary school. When I first come there admission seemed to me very friendly, they said a lot about how good their school is and other useless staff. But after I paid tuition fee (100000RMB 20000RMB construction fee) and my son begun to attend classes I was really very very dissappointed. First, some teachers there seem to be not qualified, looks like they found them somewhere abroad and even didn’t ask about experience, some teachers look like teenagers, others are really unpolite, most probably there are those people who didnt find work in their country and come to china mainly for travel. Second, the books, most of the books are cheap black white copies, even in chinese (it must be very easy to find colored chinese books in Beijing, isnt it?), no english textbooks at all, homework is just few pieces of black and white copies made from low quality book. Third, there are no interaction with patrents, all they can say is only useless staff about their "unique" programme. The diary was empty all the year, no word about childs performance, homework, progress. No feedback from teachers, it looks like child make homework for himself and nobody cares about it. There are still a lot of other problems in this school, and everyday it makes me unhappy, I really regret that my child goes to this school. Actually I dont know whether other schools in Beijing are of the same quality, but I need to go to other schools in order to compare, if I will find something better I will be really happy.
