Gillegan,

I deeply appreciate your frankness. This does not rule out my wanting to work for EK, but I have to know the plain facts before I uproot and commit everything to living there. I have moved many times over the years, and all of my overseas tours were "hardship tours". Do you have any information on homeschooling in Dubai? Is it allowed? What is the advantage of the American curriculum over the British? I am still too junior on this board to send PMs, but I may be allowed to recieve them. Could you please PM your email address to me? I'm arriving in DXB on 12 May. Thanks.

Spike
