Alrighty. I left Mexico in June to take a job in Korea... bad choice. Anyway, I am back in the US now looking for a job. Not much to be found here, so I am considering returning to Mexico. We loved it there.

I have been emailing with the Peterson schools in Mexico City, this one is on the Tlilpa (sp?) campus. Sounds great, pay is good but I am worried about working conditions. Anyone work there? Like it? Hate it?

Thanks!

So what happened in Korea? Nothing too awful, I hope.

I don't know anything about the Peterson schools, but the campus in question must be in Tlalpan.

I know a half dozen people that work/have worked there.

Peterson is a decent job pay wise. I understand that the kids are bratish and administrative support is not very strong. There's a cliquey atmosphere among the staff where if you are IN, you get support. If you are OUT, you are alone.

I did a short telephone interview with them and they sounded like sane people, (as opposed to so many others that I automatically realized were basket cases and that`s why they were desperate).
Among my adult students in DF the school is held in high regard.
