Gina broke her contract. The contract says that the last month of pay is forfeit to break the contract, so it is not actually surprising that she didn't get paid. It is actually one of the nicer accommodations I've seen, though we are expected to work a full 30 hours per week, which is annoying, because the breaks in the day make it such that it's really 9-5:30 daily, and they don't provide teaching materials.
