P & P were an older couple with a lot of international experience and came a long way to get to BSB. P was a very meticulous chap. He wrote down his questions before his interview and then wrote down the answers he got.
Specifically they wanted an apartment with particular characteristics and were prepare to pay up to a 1000 euro a month extra, to have those facilities. He asked if they arrived 10 days early would they be able to look for an apartment then, so they could be settled before school started. He was assured by the owner that there would be no problem meeting this request.
He also asked about the units that were to be taught and was he able to change the unit, history for example to one more appropriate to the children he was teaching or were the units prescribed. The principal told him he would be free to use his own units if he wished.
So, P & P arrive in Bucharest 10 days early and get shown to an apartment. OK but not what they wanted. Then they find that they cannot go apartment hunting until the owner, Corina arrives back from holiday, and when was that to be you might ask, well it was the evening before school started. The teaching staff of course were all on deck for the week before to get orientated and to be prepared for the children.
Consequently the first chance to look at apartments was after school on the first day of school. They were taken to see 5 apartments, non of which remotely matched the facilities they had requested. Then the had a 3 hour KS2 staff meeting that went to 9pm where everything was dictated to them including the history units - absolutely no changes allowed. This was the final straw so they resigned and left a month later.
They were incensed that that had been so blatantly lied to by the Owner and Principal. Had they been told the truth about the cost of apartments they were seeking or the difficulty of meeting this requirement they they may have still come, but not with the expectations that they had.
P was also not prepared to tolerate the dictatorial style of the KS2 coordinator who was much younger and far less experienced than he was.
5 staff left in the first month
P & P were the first of 5 staff to leave within the first two couple of months of the school year. The other 3 were the result of having young children and being put in apartments unsuitable for young children.
In one case the wife was out in the suburbs with no transport and 3 kids, some quite young, so she up and walked and the husband for the sake of his marriage followed a month or so later.
A & P if you are out there and feel like contributing please do so.

There is a difference, as you will shortly see, between honesty and dishonesty. I have been reliably informed that the post by tommac, alias Jo Wells, was dishonest, consequently it has been removed.
Does that mean that the Peter & Naomi comments were also dishonest, since they were removed as well?
No, It means their stories will be covered in a separate blog and was removed with their permission. Peter & Naomi's comments related to the comment posted by tommac which was removed because of the dishonest statements made in it.
Ver. 2. The sons of Japheth,.... Who though mentioned last, the genealogy begins with him, by a figure which rhetoricians call a "chiasm". The posterity of Japheth are those whom Hesiod {z} often calls iapetionidhv, "Iapetionides", and him iapetov, "Iapetus". According to Josephus {a}, the sons of Japheth inhabited the earth, beginning from the mountains Taurus and Amanus, and then went on in Asia unto the river Tanais, and in Europe unto Gadira. Seven of his sons are mentioned, and the first is Gomer; from whom, according to the same writer {b}, came the Gomareans or Gomerites, in his time called by the Greeks Galatians, that is, the Gauls of Asia minor, who inhabited Phrygia; both Gomer and Phrygia signifying the same, as Bochart {c} observes, and the country looking as if it was torrified or burnt; and Pliny {d} makes mention of a town in Phrygia, called Cimmeris; and the Cimmerians and Cimbri are derived by some from this Gomer, whom Herodotus {e} makes mention of as in Asia and Scythia, and speaks of a country called Cimmerius, and of the Cimmerian Bosphorus; and these seem to be the Gauls before mentioned, under a different name; and it is to be observed, that the Welsh, who sprung from the Gauls, call themselves to this day Cumero, or Cymro and Cumeri. It is plain from
Eze 38:6 that Gomer and his people lay to the north of Judea, and the posterity of Japheth went first into the northern parts of Asia, and then spread themselves into Europe: six more of his sons follow, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras; the first of these, Magog, was the father of a northern people which bore his name, see Eze 38:2 and according to Josephus {f}, who is generally followed, are the same that were called Scythians; from Madai came the Medes, often spoken of in Scripture, along with the Persians; so Josephus {g} says, from him came the nation of Madaeans, whom the Greeks call Medes; and very frequently in Scripture the Medes go by the name of Madai, their original ancestor; see Da 5:28 but Mr. Mede {h} is of opinion, that Macedonia was the seat of this Madai, which was formerly called Aemathia; that is, as he gives the etymology of it, aia, "Madai", the country of Madai; but the former sense is generally received. Javan is by all agreed to be the father of the Grecians; hence Alexander, king of Grecia, is in Da 8:21 called king of Javan; and one part of Greece bore the name of Ionia; and the sea that washed it is called the Ionian sea. And his posterity are
