Indonesian teacher employment laws

I have recently opened an English language school (AELIN) in Ruteng, Flores. It's a struggle, but we may eventaully break even. We're trying to ofer a quality series of courses for prices as low as possible -not a formula for making large profits, maybe not even a formula for survival! I wish to hir...

Another on my Beware list - SeriousTeachers.com are also spammers
Fri, 12 Sep 2008 03:09:00 +0400
Another on my "watch out for list" is SeriousTeachers.com. When I posted an ad on their site, I was also receiving emails about ALL the teachers interested in my job. Funny thing though...when I contacted the teachers, they had no idea what I wanted nor who I was. In addition, SeriousTeachers.com on...

There was nothing narcissistic about my post, I am just telling the truth. Good looks and money are what are important to Chinese schools. But you seem to be a bit slow, haven't worked that one out yet. I have only been in my current job for eight months, 5000 a month is what all teachers get here r...

Regarding your 2nd point: Silverboy, though a frequent poster here, has never written anything that would suggest he is a degree holder or that he has familiarized himself with any of the finer points of second language acquisition. Moreover, he seems to think he's teaching "ESL" not "EFL," which is...

1st,some would say that money isn't everything. 2nd,how do you know that Silverboy cannot show the 'proper credentials' right now?I don't recall him posting that he doesn't have a degree from a Western university.Of course,a degree from the land of Down Under is considered to be a Western degree des...

Wolf said:Would you not also say the "same" would apply to civil servants in the West? My reply:Yes,I would. But don't forget the previous poster had said that Chinese officials will take bribes from foreigners wishing to become FT's in China who do not have the mandatory paper qualifications.That i...

MMSuzhou - Suzhou IELTS training center
Thu, 11 Sep 2008 16:14:00 +0400
My comments: i)Why only Americans/Canadians need apply? ii)Good renumeration,and class size would make quality teaching achievable.Much better than Yuncheng IELTS. iii)Why needn't an applicant have China's basic qualification for FT's,a university degree of Western origin? SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP? iv)H...

"Even if I was a "pretend teacher" it would not matter, my chances of getting fired from my job here are zero" You leave little doubt as to the condition of your abilities and character....

Well, you've never shown that modesty is your strong suit, so I'm not surprised at the narcissistic tone of your post; however, I am a little surprised by your wage. You've been working there how long and still only making 5,000? You're living in the past, toddler. I do agree, though, that you won't...
