My husband and I will be teaching at a British school in Asia from August and the school pays for all our daughter's school fees, flights, medical etc. I would not work at a school that did not extend full benefits to my daughter.

We have worked at another international school in S.E Asia and they also paid for everything for up to two children.

Almost all British

Flew a dog in and out of Asia no problems (well, a few bribes to be paid but the dog was fine!).

If you are enjoying your job, making good money so you can live well and save for retirement and kids college, enjoying the location you live in and are professionaly fulfilled then STAY!!!

I have many friends who really regret moving on from a good situation because they wanted more, more, more...only to discover that the grass was not greener on the other side.

On the other hand if you are waking up dreading going to school, you are being overlooked for career development, you can't afford to live where you are or you are just totally bored then MOVE ON!!!

My experience:

Class size of 20
Plenty of planning time
Great students
Cramped classrooms and facilities in general
Terrible food in the cafeteria
Great Head of Primary
Good package if you are single, footloose and fancy free with no big debts to pay back home
