I was there b 4 any 1.im gutted.im going 2 day 2 have it out with the weasle even though i know i cant win, just feel i have 2 say sumthing to the rat( principal) all the thai teachers hate him and tryin 2 evict him.i wanna punch him but have 2 refrain.any advice or similar experiences most welcome.
May 12, 20169 yr 36,000 to finish by 11am sounds like a pretty sweet deal, really wish that they could timetable my classes to finish each day by 11am. How many teaching hours was that for each week? Sounds like the school might have simply compared what they're doing, with what other schools are doing, and decided that they have been giving you a really sweet deal over the past 10 years.
May 12, 20169 yr Author 15 hours..but my other 2 frends r being kept on part time 20 hours aweek.1 was ther 7 years the other 1 year.u wud think last in 1st out rite!! More 2 it i think,, his wsy of telling me to go b coz he knew a have a well better school in the afternoon..wants 2 save face..
May 12, 20169 yr Author Oh and the short notice iv had..xpecting 2 go bak on monday ..they cud hav told me during this 3 month holiday!!!!!
May 12, 20169 yr Oh and the short notice iv had..xpecting 2 go bak on monday ..they cud hav told me during this 3 month holiday!!!!! And they could have done a lot worse. Like fire the whole staff and offer to re-hire at you at a smaller salary and a 10 month contract. Be careful what you wish for.
May 12, 20169 yr Author True but im not one of those teachers who get by on 30-50g a month.in 16 years working here as a teacher, iv always been on the 100g mark.and refuse 2 stay in a school all day for a pittance.
May 12, 20169 yr It wouldn't have anything to do with your spelling and punctuation skills would it?Spot on mate. His spelling and puntuation is ten times worse than mine. His is supposedly teaching kids (poor little mites) if that is their teachers English level.
May 12, 20169 yr What subject do you teach?.. I hope you don't teach English! Your grammar is terrible! What is your Nationality and where do you teach?
May 12, 20169 yr True but im not one of those teachers who get by on 30-50g a month.in 16 years working here as a teacher, iv always been on the 100g mark.and refuse 2 stay in a school all day for a pittance. Pride before the fall and all that. Good luck with it.
May 12, 20169 yr Lets hope the op is not 'teaching' English. Thai teachers earn no where near 40k are always going in during the holidays and Sundays for training, but you don't see them moaning on the internet. If you don't like being well paid and don't like the School - then leave.
May 12, 20169 yr Oh and the short notice iv had..xpecting 2 go bak on monday ..they cud hav told me during this 3 month holiday!!!!! Are we talking with English teachers here or teenagers sending text messages?
May 12, 20169 yr Just look for a Thai school where the pupils speak English like Ali G. "Iz it becos I am Thai?"
May 12, 20169 yr I didn't want to be the first to say it, op, but your prose really does suck. Tough to read. It's SMS speak. Perhaps acknowledge that you've been on a good number and they're putting it right. Money is tightening up everywhere. Unless this is a top international school, I know a fair few teachers in unis and institutes that are not on anything like that, especially such a cushy part time gig. I wouldn't hold it against the guy even if he is a tool. You've had several good years from them and they're generous enough in offering you a permanent position. Don't burn bridges.
May 12, 20169 yr yeah but no but yeah, chill out dude he been dooin it for 10 years innit and that's awesome
May 12, 20169 yr Schools have started and the CB trolls are out to rile up replies, juz bcoz, beezees.
May 12, 20169 yr Go moan to your boss he can then go to the Labour department to grass you up for not having two work permits (for both of your jobs). 100K is a lot for any teacher so stop yer bitching..
May 13, 20169 yr Author Yeah right.A grown up who has to bounce around a class in 42 degrees,no air con, 35 kids,one tiny fan for 6 hours and 40k.Your very welcome!!!!!!!
May 13, 20169 yr Yeah right.A grown up who has to bounce around a class in 42 degrees,no air con, 35 kids,one tiny fan for 6 hours and 40k.Your very welcome!!!!!!! My heart bleeds purple p!ss for you!
May 13, 20169 yr None of my teaching relatives earn 40k, I know an Australian with a Phd teachng at uni and an associate professor, he only gets 44k, consider yourself lucky.
