Good idea slider, There are a few good schools out there, but most of them are that way due to the staff NOT the management. Most of the schools I've taught at seem to balance on the edge of a precipice at all times. No forward planning example: every time an a/c needs a 50 hourly everyone panics as it's only been noticed on Friday afternoon so the engineers get a rush job and then moaned at if it doesn't come back on time!

The stuff that most schools should try to do are just the basics. Don't muck students around, keep the a/c servicable(not as easy as it sounds sometimes), say hello when people come through the door, sweep/hoover the floor ocassionally, make people a cup of tea etc. etc......I often think that most schools make money despite their best efforts. Nothing like keeping the customers (and staff) happy, and mostly it's nothing like keeping the customers happy!

A bit of a brush to tar flying schools with and there are some noticable exceptions.
