I can't say I agree with the last poster. It is unfortunate that the teachers gave such last minute notice but if they were good teachers then I would keep them. These things happen and I don't know how many times I have a teacher lined up to come and work and they tell me at the last minute that they have decided to take another job. It goes both ways.

Agree. As much as it is frustrating sometimes, it also works in out benefit other times. Most schools will take a person they already know and who is actually at the school over a person somewhere else and unknown. Too many question marks.

Ditto!

I find it somewhat rich that some on here are flaming the OP for having the caution to keep looking 'just in case'... and lo and behold, the 'just in case' actually happened!

I suspect EF were being (at least partially) up front... your call whether you decide to see about other EF schools in the meantime.
