A short time ago, the main page of this blog linked to several blogs by current and former BKC-IH Moscow teachers. We received three messages from the owners of some of these blogs, requesting that their links be deleted.
From a message sent to us by one of the BKC-IH Moscow Teacher blog owners:
You have my blog, ...listed on your blog under blogs by bkc ih teachers. While I appreciate your efforts to inform people about bkc moscow, you do not have my permission to include my blog on your site. Please remove it.
Response from the BKC-IH TEACHER'S BLOG:
Your permission is not required. Any time you publish anything online, it may be linked to - as long as the website uses the home page, and not a deep link. Therefore, we are under no obligation to remove it.
If you do not want people reading your blog, you can attempt to make your blog private or you can make the decision to not publish anything online.
However, if you can give us more details and an explanation on why you want your link removed, we will talk it over with all of our contributors, and we will vote on whether or not we will remove the link.
You got fired from BKC, didn't you? Why do you care if your blog is linked to by our blog?
We Never Heard from This Former BKC Teacher Again
And, Another Message We Received From a Different BKC-IH Moscow Employee
Please remove my blog site from your list, I am the author of ....While it is true that I am currently employed at BKC-IH (and as much as I sympathized your sentiments against BKC-IH) I don't want my blog to be advertised in your site or in any other sites.
Response from the BKC-IH TEACHER'S BLOG:
Advertisement means that we are being paid by you. We are not being paid by you. Therefore, since your blog is in the public domain, we can link to it if we so choose.
The Email From the Former BKC Moscow Teacher That Propelled Us to Remove the List of BKC-IH Moscow Teacher Blogs
There is a former teacher who is in a sensitive position, who is possibly still in danger due to allegations made by this teacher against BKC International House Moscow. Being linked to this site may harm that person.
And so the people involved in this blog took a vote and agreed to remove all the blogs we had linked to, giving preferential treatment to no one, regardless of their situations.
If you want to find the blogs of BKC-IH Moscow teachers, it is not difficult
Go to Google.com and type in "bkc ih moscow teachers blogs."
Go to and type in "BKC Moscow."
There are ten pages of links in the Google Blog Search.
While the authors, contributors and "board members" of this blog appreciate the dangerous position some people at BKC-IH Moscow are in, our goal is to tell the truth about BKC-International House Moscow.
Our aim is to expose the illegal wrongdoings as well as warn other teachers about taking a position with BKC-IH Moscow.

I worked as a teacher for BKC form September 2010 until January of this year . While there are some good points. these I confess, are outdone by the bad. After successfully passing my observations. In earlt November I was out for something to eat one night on my own . My Russian is quite good so I did not think I had cause to worry . My drink was spiked , I was subsequently robbed of my money and papers and I was left for dead on the street . Luckily a man found me and called an ambulance . I was in hospital for 5 days before I insisted on coming out . I can only say that this hospital wasworse than any prison that exists in UK! The school then threatened to terminate my contract and I agreed as I was in fear in the hospital . They then reneged on this and told me I could could back to work the following week .I was beaten and the Cuban doctor in the hospital agrred that my injuries were consistent with this but yet the school tried to insist that I fell when I said that I wished to involve the police . Approximately a week and a half later I received an email from recruitment infoming me that I was to be given 4 weeks notice because I was not up to standard . This was a total surprise even though I had passed my observations in class and I knew of at least one teacher who failed all his observations . But there was no point in arguing with these people as I found them pedantic , very deceptive and not very helpful . I even received conterfeit notes in my pay one time and when i flagged thias up with the finance department they were not very amused with me . there are other dodgy issues involving BKC which I will not go into in detail here but it is suffice to say that i did not have a good experience when working for them.So beware all would be teachers if applying to work for this school . I am very surprised that they have still kept their International House accreditation as i also know of other teachers who were treated badly and very unfairly. Regards

We would like to hear the rest of the story of what you went through with BKC-IH Moscow.
DeleteThe truth is that International House does not have any accreditation standards per se. They rent their "IH" name out to anyone who has the money to pay for it.
The International House "accreditation" is as meaningless as your contract with BKC-IH Moscow.
