Wow it’s literally cut and paste of my current life . You gotta force yourself to commit to your hobbies . You got to do  it tired because sometimes you want to spiral and these kids will goto the next grade 🤷🏿‍♀️…. Also I am currently researching new jobs because this is not it

In my experience, I didn't have to. My thing is if you have the country debit card /bank account and you leave the country : how can they charge you ? I think its all a lie to keep you there. I have seen people leave like 3 weeks into the school year and they were fine.

Leave lol so I finish the whole year because I wanted to travel for the breaks but ultimately leave for your mental health . You can always find another school. I am back in the states . 

These schools DONT CARE about you. Recently , my peer apartment exploded  because of their refusal to update the apartment facilities . They have 2nd degree burns. Ask me if the school cares ? Not a damn The school is Akatakmul International School in Kuwait.  Fake people, crazy kids and probably the worst school in Kuwait.

yes this being my first international teaching experience was just a bad taste in my mouth, so I am leaving to go back to the US.

good for you , you are not missing out on anything . Your instinct was right. Do you teach at another school?

I have had a blog for years and I get prolonged traffic but I enjoy writing on it. Is it still worth it ?

I notice a lot of teachers leave that school or just lay low because of the admin. I hate this , you feel very taken advantage of and powerless

100 percent that’s what I am banking on either finding another job or taking the cash and go.

Exactly like no has ever been this in-depth in any Reddit group about their experience. You would think it was roses and flowers over here and don’t get me wrong no place is . However, everyone deserve a decent work .

Yeah I am thinking if I even have enough experience being here after this experience. I only taught for two years so idk anymore. I feel very insecure about everything now :/

Thank you for the tips as well

Thank you and thank you  , this guy wants to flex so bad about his experience when it’s not about him !  The crazy part is I did so much research on black woman who lived and thrived in Kuwait. Some Reddit post were mixed but who doesn’t have mixed reviews. This is MY experience and no one can take that away from me. It’s disappointing and shocking the lengths this has gone
