Shanghai Singapore International School
“Major decisions were made without sufficient teacher consultation”
The reviewer alleged poorly explained curriculum and assessment changes without meaningful teacher consultation. They criticised generic training, absent follow-up coaching, administrative meetings, disrespectful communication and inconsistent rules.
They linked last-minute changes and ignored feedback to workload, burnout and departures. They believed staff turnover, inconsistent learning expectations, declining enrolment and weak family communication damaged confidence. They called for practical training, transparent decisions, fair conduct and sustainable expectations.
- They said families experienced changing expectations and uneven teaching quality, while leaders prioritised outward performance over deeper learning.
- They described new initiatives being added without reducing existing duties, with unrealistic deadlines and little systematic response to burnout.
Other context in the account
