I was at the UNI Fair last week and as soon as I mentioned a non-teaching spouse and child, I was given the bum's rush. I was dissapointed in not getting a contract. It was my first attempt at an overseas teaching job. I now have a better insight to the situation and hope that in the future I'll have better luck. I did meet some really nice people while I was there and it could later help with netwroking.

If you teach at a school that is not accredited by a US association, will it be difficult to renew your certificate?

What about schools that are accrredited?

Does any one have the 411 on Binda Bangsa in Indonesia?

Do any of the search firms, UNI, etc. try to weed out the more egregious offenders in this aspect?

Forget the above for this section. I thought I was posting to another sectioin. Kind of funny, eh?

For-profit organizations operate for the benefit of the owner(s). Non-profit organizations operate for the benefit of the beneficiaries. Should a school’s ultimate focus be on profit or students? In education, I’m in favor of a focus on students.

I've been reading about schools not keeping all of of their promises. If they are in a contract, how are these issues settled?
