Concord Congratulations and good luck. maryellen Thanks for the good luck guys I've just been offered the job :headbang: That was quick the Arabs don't mess about! Now lets get through this contract with a fine tooth comb :read: sharewadi

Did I say that, naaaaaaah maryellen Thanks for the warning but I am an experienced teacher and have worked in numerous different settings. Every school is very different with positive and negative factors and I am under no illusion that teaching in Dubai will be a 'walk in the park'. Kids are kids no matter what their backgroung or cultural upbringing and they do like to push the boundaries. I'm sorry your friends felt so miserable but I'm sure they'll look back and be glad of the experience :wink: I guess I need to try it out for myself and hey if it all goes wrong at least I'll have a few pressies to soften the blow :lol: MaaaD
maybe thats what zam was referrring to as "yummy packages"...
Good luck maryellen !! dbxsoul
haha.... all the teachers i know say they are underpaid! most of the private schools here are continually pushing the price of their fees up, but not pushing up the price/ package that they provide the teachers with - simple profit taking because of supply and demand.
two teachers i know actually left dubai, as they couldn't put up with the attitude of some of the children - ill dissaplined, no respect etc. and their hands were tied with respect to enforcing and kind of disapline (and i'm not talking corpral punishment - simply detention and writing lines).
one likened it to teaching in a government school in the uk, but with better facilities!
on the upside, you should see the presents they would get just prior to exams - i'm not kidding now, i'm talking serious gift vouchers for damas, diamond earings, watches etc.... maryellen This is the website, its only started this year. I've applied for upper primary position. Fingers crossed :? zam Sage thats bec its new according to her. Maryellen can you tell us which position have you been interviewed for? Ive heard teaching career in DXB receives a yummy yummy package! :wink: sage & onion
Sorry never heard of that one! maryellen Hi I'm waiting to hear back from this school following an interview today. It is a new school near Dubailand. If there anyone who has accepted a position there I would love to hear from you. :)
