What does it take in order to find people who know what they are talking about in regards to EF schools. It seems clear that all the negative comments I've read about EF are from people who clearly have never read the fine print on a contract. The working hours in a contract are 40(not teaching hours). In what world have you ever had it so hard that you can't work a 40 hour work week. If you want to stay in your own country and pay high taxes along with expensive prices please do us a favour and don't come here. I'm tried of teachers who come here and do nothing but complain then break their contracts and run home to mommy. grow up and learn some responsibility. I've been here for 9 going on 10 years. Love everything about teaching here and despise uneducated whiners who can't cut the mustard.
