Sevgili Hocalarim,
We have entered a brand-spanking-new DECADE…and while it may not have got off to the “best” start…
I’m kinda hoping that this LATEST UPDATE will keep you all in good spirits!
8
As ever, I’m gonna have to hold off on going public with a few of them…posters and webpages have taken a bit of a backseat to many schools announcing their “admission test dates”…even some of our “best” institutions!
8
I never actually got why we have such astronomical tuition fees AND selective entry tests…surely a really GREAT school would take a bunch of pretty “average” kids…and turn them into GREAT learners…to justify their really high fees – I must have missed a memo there or something!
8
Neyse, I’ll get more of those up for you all laters! So, what do we have for you TODAY?
8
REMEMBER – if you are having an event and it is confirmed,
please let me know and I’ll get it up on the calendar for you…
