CIA First
CIA First
I see that CIA First has been given WASC accreditation - I was chatting with one of the managers there and he informed that they have been given 6 years accreditation as of this week.
It seems that step by step, there is some real forward progress in Cambodian education.

CIA First is not the only WASC accredited school in PP. I also hear that their accreditation doesn't cover their high school so not a huge help to graduates. Also, this is a private sector, public schools are still in the stone age, so "progress of the Cambodian education" is a bit of exaggeration
There are 5 WASC accredited schools in Cambodia.
I do think this reflects a small amount of progress.

and now CIA First (Elementary School)?
You have to admire CIA First for their perseverance.
it reflects great progress for the schools. But does it reflect such a great progress for Cambodian education?crackers wrote:There are 5 WASC accredited schools in Cambodia.

Trivia: the initial application was submitted in 2010, these things take time.
Andre Struve is a great school director with infinitesimal patience, much of the credit must go to him.

Agreed. I've known Andre personally for quite a few years and he's one of the reasons we send our kids to CIA.vladimir wrote:Trivia: the initial application was submitted in 2010, these things take time.

CIA is a great example of how education is improving in Cambodia. Gone, thankfully, are the days where you had ISPP and NISC at the top, Belti etc at the bottom and nothing much in between.

Whats the annual fees to send a kid to CIA?
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.
We are paying $200 per month each for ours, but that's just half-day kindergarten. We will probably stick em in full day next term which will increase it to about $300 each I believe.PSD_Kiwi wrote:Whats the annual fees to send a kid to CIA?
As with all schools, it increases as they go through to the higher grades. I believe that at CIA it tops out at around the 5K mark.
I think all the prices are on their website.

I agree with 'divorce'. You would normally use the adverbial form, as in 'infinitesimally small', but, as pointed out, it has the opposite meaning of what was intended. He should have used 'infinite patience'.
I also regard affiliation of WASC as a marketing ploy, a means of extracting a fee in order to parade membership. Real recognition/accreditation comes from the nature of the international programme on offer, such as IB or CIE.

WASC is almost a formality, the first step towards anything that really counts, agree with springrain.
iirc, both ISPP and NISC went for WASC accreditation first. Logos, I'm not sure.
Occasionally even teachers of English make usage mistakes; I've seen glaring mistakes in several highly-regarded (ha! I typed regraded and nearly missed it) textbooks. I agree that it should be 'infinite' patience.
Add auto-complete and typos to that mix and things can, and do, get messy.
It doesn't make us 'frauds', divorce (apt user name, btw). It merely confirms that which we all already know; namely, that we are human and fallible. Anyone who claims never to make such an error is a liar and a fool.
I do take issue with your choice of words, and have highlighted some words that contradict or invalidate your choice, and will hopefully help us find a better one:
Definition: In law, fraud is deliberate deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain, or to deprive a victim of a legal right. Fraud itself can be a civil wrong (i.e., a fraud victim may sue the fraud perpetrator to avoid the fraud and/or recover monetary compensation), a criminal wrong (i.e., a fraud perpetrator may be prosecuted and imprisoned by governmental authorities) or it may cause no loss of money, property or legal right but still be an element of another civil or criminal wrong.[1] The purpose of fraud may be monetary gain or other benefits, such as obtaining a driver's license or qualifying for a mortgage by way of false statements.
As you can see, yours was a bad choice as mine.
What about this?
mistake
mɪˈsteɪk/
noun
noun: mistake; plural noun: mistakes
1.
an act or judgement that is misguided or wrong.
"coming here was a mistake"
synonyms: error, fault, inaccuracy, omission, slip, blunder, miscalculation, misunderstanding, flaw, oversight, misinterpretation, fallacy, gaffe, faux pas, solecism, misapprehension, misconception, misreading'.
As was pointed out to me several years ago, most people find it prickish to suffer a grammar Nazi.
I therefore mended my ways and now only resort to it when some redneck tells a non-native speaker of English that they are 'uniteligint an stupid' for example, or people who use fancy words in a harsh way when they mean something completely different. In such cases I feel it is relevant and deserved.
