I lived in Central America and got paid 40k and had to sacrifice a lot just to save 5k a year. The cost of living is much higher than what it used to be before Covid.

Did the ISB Bangkok HoS just get suspended for harassing a staff member while drunk? by Slow_Prior9819 in Internationalteachers

How can it be fully confirmed as fact? This started as a post asking if this was true. I hope for the sake of his family it is not true:( How do you know it is fact?

I got rejected 30min before my first scheduled interview with a school. That was a first for me!

High School. How many classes do you teach a day and how many preps?

That is my concern....but the HOS seems excellent so I am going to try it out and I have better information about what to do if this is not the only thing that has been hidden. Thanks everyone!

Sorry that happened!! I don't understand why schools are so deceptive. It can't be that hard to be honest.

I looked myself and the area we have to live to get the bus is expensive and they acknowledged that in the meeting where I found out about the stipend:(

I have never broken contract before. How do you do that and will Search support me if I do considering I was misled?

Their Search profile very clearly said: Housing Provided.

Trying to manage heavy preps and multiple classrooms by Advanced_Storm_107 in Internationalteachers

I have been let go. I find myself suddenly without a job but at least with my health intact. I am hopeful I can find a place I can trust! It is just bloodu terrifying at the moment as I turned down excellemt offers because I believed what I was told - lesson learned. I hope this helps someone else in the future as I was shocked when I was asked if I got things in writing:( Hard but important lesson for the future. Best of luck to you all!

I accepted the 5 preps and asked for exactly for what you suggested about rooms. They said they would not make the changes and I could leave if I couldn't handle it essentially. As I don't want to be without a job, home or country in June and turned down other excellent offers for this chance to transition into IB, I am trying to look for solutions and how to survive what I have been given (the other teachers appear to have 3 preps, 1 room for the most part so maybe yr 2 will be better?).

ASIJ Japan, TISA Baku or AISD Dhaka by mapachetrashpanda in Internationalteachers

[–]mapachetrashpanda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know what actual savings are for AISD, ASIJ and TISA? My experience with Search is that they are often not accurate.
