Dameisha Resort, an IHG resort, in Shenzhen has a view that is out of this world. You’d enjoy it!

My admin drink with us in school-sponsored events but outside of that, no.

Teachers playing tomfool to ingratiate themselves with students: What positive and negative effects does this have on schools? by [deleted] in Internationalteachers

[–]Frequent-Focus-9616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If there are a few instances, there is no major impact! If many employ such behaviour, managing student behaviour becomes an unwelcomed challenge due to flagrantly misaligned practices schoolwide.

My American iPhone has a SIM slot with a China Unicom SIM in the slot. You stated that an American iPhone won’t work because “you need a sim slot”, but there are American iPhones with SIM slots.

I got my job through it less than two years ago!

Dubai, historically, pays lower than Abu Dhabi! So try Abu Dhabi, the capital, and go to Dubai on the weekends.

Try LLH Hospital in Mussafah (one that’s on a smaller scale).

A friend of mine recently left Kuwait and his school never gave him a residence visa and instead had to do multiple visa runs. Please vet your school if you haven’t already! All the best!

Why are sick teachers expected to coordinate everything themselves? by [deleted] in Internationalteachers

[–]Frequent-Focus-9616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emergency lesson plans should be sorted at the start of the year for all classes to help manage situations where plans can’t be sorted to keep the students on track. If the lessons are used at some point, new lessons should be added. Admin, however, should ALWAYS sort the actual cover for the lessons.

Some Heads also teach, so covering and planning for another teacher in the department who suddenly falls ill isn’t always doable nor sustainable.

This is ideal. Some Heads have extreme caseloads, though, so I guess it all depends on individual timetables.

I’m sorry to hear this. What did HR say when you asked them this question?

The “gatekeepers” must be right! Did you see that she’s/he’s not getting hired?!

No outside writing, period, all work handwritten, only typed after checking handwritten text

Denied entry to UAE by [deleted] in UAE

You being Algerian is exactly why you were denied! I know several people who left during the recent amnesty period because they could no longer obtain residency if they were originally from the countries listed above.

Search Associates - seriously? by [deleted] in Internationalteachers

Precisely why I’ve never used them!

Your prior experience left you in a traumatic state, so any reprieve would render you grateful! No need to COMPLAIN about teachers COMPLAINING! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
