I, #7 continue to go about my travels, mostly to and from the school. Sometimes I am left in the staff room and I hear things. MOVE THIS I know that most of the young teachers want to be in a party town like Saigon and they don't want to work in off-the-wall places like Bien Hoa I FOUND out that Barbara, Lila 50+ from South Africa, Pat 60+ from USA and Maurice 60+ from UK were all assigned here because YOUNG I'm not sure if you would be able to find this many 50+ in other places.
Also, all the teachers complain about the misleading job description which brought them here. It sounded so carefree. You only have to teach 16 hours and you get paid $20 USD/hour. However, the advertisement neglected to mention the crummy curriculum which requires at least 2 hours of prep time for each hour taught. Complaints escalated yesterday when the new manager visited our classes and told many of the teachers that they were doing everything wrong and must change. As all the teachers are putting in about 30 hours of unpaid weekly overtime already, and this would add another 10, many of them are thinking about switching to one of the other 12 schools in town. Of course, most people are just talk, but I think Barbara is going to do it.
I can't believe these fools working 40 hours a week when the job was advertised as 16 hours per week.
