CONSENSUS? ISE EASTERN SEABOARD

It would be impossible to get a consensus, because the teachers' experiences, qualifications and expectations are so different.

I have some knowledge about ISE on the Eastern Seaboard. I understand tthat the pay is pretty good, the administration is crap, and if you have any professional integrity it will be be difficult go to work every day and deal with the lackies and profit minded administrators. My close friend knows this from first-hand experience. A real professional teacher would hate it there. The contracts are vague, if not confusing, and now it looks like the tax free two years for Americans is a thing of the past.


But if you just want money and don't mind incompetence, it would be a great place.

rights

Foreign teachers in Thailand, and probably most schools in Asia, have no "rights". Your contract is worth only as much as the integrity of the school's owners or administrators. If you tried to sue for any reason, you would eventually lose, there is no doubt: it is too easy to buy a judge, and the laws are already in the favor of the employer.

Berlin

I worked at the JFK school 10 years ago.

I doubt you could save any money today on 45000 Euros!
