HPD Wote the following some time ago.

>>1. Dubai has a high cost of living. Education allowance does not completely cover the cost of children attending the American School of Dubai,(ASD) which is the only "not-for-profit" USA curriculum school in the city. There are other schools offering USA curricula, however they are owned privately and operate "for profit". Currently, it is costing me 2000 Dhs/month to send one (1) child to ASD.<<

Can anyone confirm this? They told me in ATL that they would cover tuition for 3 children. (I happen to have 5 school aged children). Scowling wife is looking over my shoulder as I type this. (She's beautiful, though!). Was HPD implying a cost overrun of 2000 Dhs/month? I think Tennessee Ernie Ford had a song about this. Something like "Sixteen Tons of #9 coal,............"
