Beaker - 2008-06-23

After working for almost a year there they now are saying that we will not be getting our Summer Holiday pay as there is some clause vaguely written in our contracts. This in itself is not a big thing, but added to the compounding list of errors and cheats. I now know why they have such a high turn over, this year has been the worst year at any school I have worked at. The management is only money focused and coninually get teachers to do more and more ... worded in the contract is that teachers "may" be asked to do additional work, and the problem is the additional work became the norm. The offered pay rate was very high but with all the deductions and fees taken out it worked out to be pittence compared to working in a Government School with less hours, less stress and more free time. The students control the system and the teachers are told to "just suck it and see, this is a business not a funded school" .. how can you argue .. it really is a business and there are many mangers getting very rich while teachers clean up all the dirty work they leave behind. A big word of warning to anyone thinking about the "goldern carrot" they offer... its not worth your soul .. its not worth one year of pain anguish and heartache ... unless you like to lie, cheat and be lied to and cheated as your doing it to someone else... all that is writen on paper is purely paper .. no chops no true offers... just open words that can and do change weekly

I am out of there this year and as normal so are most of the "real" teachers..leaving a school full of washed out sexpats .... poor students
