Bogota - School Report Question and Answers
Teacher-student communication:
Students tend to be disciplined unfairly without the parents being notified. We find that children are unfairly targeted by the local Colombian kids, and frequently pulled into the Counselor's office without the parents ever being notified. I find the secrecy unnerving and unfair. If it's all above board, why not communicate issues openly to the parents? - Mar 2015
Some teachers are better at this than others. For the most part, the teachers at CGB did a good job with my son. I had a few problems with teachers and their communication with my son (who misses a lot of announcements, etc, from distraction) but we spoke and worked it out. Always, we were able to work things out when there were issues. - Feb 2015

The teachers are very different from what Americans are used to. Children report that teachers do not hesitate to humiliate children in front of their peers, and regularly announce all the grades from tests and projects. If a child is sick or hurt, the teachers are not concerned and do not believe in sending kids home for these issues. It is a different way of thinking. Children report of regular anti-American comments made in front of the class. - Aug 2014
