>>I'm here already Dos. Have been for nearly three years, and plan on staying as long as I like. If you don't like, or don't feel inclined to support your fellow teachers out here, then maybe you should go back.
Well, YL, I feel I *do* support my fellow teachers. I give advice (and it is only advice) when people ask it of me, and I have written several documents to help people with their Visa/Contract questions.
I draw the line at telling people what they should earn. That's up to you.
I would be more than happy if the pay went up, but the market (as for anywhere for anything) tends to settle at a rate the schools, and obviously the teachers, rate as okay.
Each to their own. I wasn't saying don't whine, but it's obviously not going to help. If there was a good and obvious way to increase pay then I would offer my support, believe me. No one on this, or any other board I have seen has suggested a way I consider feasable.
You have been here three years, so you are obviously okay with the salary.
>>Oops!, sorry you're not a teacher, you're a Dos!
It explains a lot!
Actually, yes I AM a head teacher. However the name I use is made up of my initials! Been noted more than once though. Freaky old world.
As an aside, even when I was earning 'just' a teacher's salary, I was actually able to save a decent amount money (in dollars). Mainly because the school provides acomm and living is generally cheap, so there isn't the outlay you have back 'home'. Go figure.
