Hello Uzurisoul... I am about to get to KSA also.. not sure where.
I'm going with Edex. Who did you go with - providing you're a recruit hitre?
what are your first impressions of KSA? Did you do this (ESL Teaching) before... if so, how does it compare from your previous gig?
Thanks
Randall. |

| A "gig" is what a drug-crazed rock musicisns does. Teachers have "contracts". |

| Nothing beats sleeping on a park bench... you have to be drug-crazed to accept a gig in on terms some folks are busy with... |

Uzur, are you parroting the sentiments of Edex's marketing division and/or your director and/or your recruiter and/or your students?

Purportedly. Just wait a few weeks until you hand out some grades. |

I stand corrected. The majority of posters here teach sometimes covertly vindictive undergrads.
I won't here even go into their pranks. Those presumed childish or irrational attributes have already received heaps of press in these threads. |
