The following contract was the second one I signed with ILP hover they backed out 3 months after signing it and left me with a one year to pay on my house. I was told �o we aren�t firing you we just aren�t giving you any more classes�

After talking with several lawyers I found out that this contract is a very poor and gives me NO RIGHTS AT ALL�
This is a warning to all teachers thinking of working for ILP or any other school don�t sing unless you have spoken with a lawyer; YOU MAY BE LEFT HOLDING THE BAG OR LIKE ME WALKING AWAY WITH A BIG LOSS.

JUST DONT WANT ANYONE TO MISS THIS

Why doesn't this group have a 'black list', similar to the Korean black list pages.

Then, any would-be teacher planning on coming to Indonesia, could do a quick check of the list, and see if their possible employer has rated a mention.

Just a thought.

I was bye there in Jan. it�s the same story, was having a talk with my old boss (a good guy) and the Schrage from above marched in like she owned the place and promptly told him to throw me out! (funny she�s not anyone�s boss) so I bit my tong and left so as not to make a problem for my old boss.
