I say "Hmmmmm..." also, but for different reasons - Teachers Discussion
Cian,
I know you a little and I think you're a terrific guy and probably a good teacher, but sorry, I have to strongly disagree about you with regards to Nasdaken. Yes, I never had any trouble being paid, but that is not my sole criteria for what makes a professional school (although it certainly helps!).
When you say you have talked to many full time teachers who tell you they are "happy," I'm a little confused...
Presently, the school only has two full timers. One is the new head teacher, joining Nasdaken only one month ago. The other one perhaps will tell you -- at Nasdaken -- he is "happy" there, but I know him well, and indeed, he is not!
All other full time teachers employed since 2005 have gotten the hell outta there!!! (Stacy included) Did you know them -- especially the two guys from Canada? They would tell perspective teachers quite openly and pointedly (and loudly) at Nasdaken, not to dare sign a contract with the school.
As for the "friendly and open" managers... don't get me started!
I'm glad you had (are having?) a good experience with Nasdaken, but for me, I would never recommend anyone take a full time job there (for the reasons I detailed in an earlier posting on this string).
Best wishes... Frank
