A good friend of mine actually did a 15 month stint at Abaarso.
He enjoyed it but said it was very hard going.
- Overbearing American director who threatened to have you sacked at the drop of a hat.
- Teachers were not allowed to leave the school compound without an armed escort.. so going into town was a mission all in itself.
- 70 hour work weeks as it said.
- When he arrived to join us teaching in Myanmar.. he had crippling food poisoning and had to miss his first week at school. (He suspected the final meal he had with the students)
I'd be tempted to go there but not with those conditions.
The biggest negative for me would be feeling like a prisoner and not being allowed out with an escort. |
