Bonn International School

Dear BIS Community,

The Bonn International School is a state-of-the-art school providing children from ages 3-19 with a high quality education in a caring environment. High quality, stands for high price. A caring environment, should be one which involves kindness for others, while this school reminds one of a military school. Once the students fails to to follow the rules, he is then penetrated by the system. The system. Yes, the school has dramatically changed over the course of the past years. Emerging from a healthy and social milieu for the "Bonn elite", it has come a long way. In order to sustain his prestige, the student has to work an exorbitant amount, to become the IB's ideology. Needless to say, this reminds many of a cult. The devotion directed toward certain characteristics.

Not only does this affect the students social lives drastically, it also pressurizes some individuals into taking performance enhancers. "Ritalin" is the infamous drug, that students are taking to be more concentrated and write their essays in the shortest time possible. This is what has happened. This is the direction Diploma students are heading for.

There are some teachers that already have a massive work load to cope with, as one could argue that this school is completely understaffed and employs incapable substitute teachers. Time is lost and school hours are wasted on social networks such as Facebook. However, there is more to be expected. The school staff is already overwhelmed by the amount of students, but will need to cope with a great increase of pupils. Two-hundred, to be precise. The pressure on teachers will escalate to an extent, which is not of a private school standard. Needless to say, the money obtained, is not invested in new school staff, but is held back for the new facility (four new containers).

Yes... and my name is Prophet.
