Dear Lazy:

I am glad my shouting text caught your attention....but from what I see AHE is getting desperate to attract teachers.

I was told the salaries would be 34,000 US/yr for teachers with no experience in the KSA and 39,000 US/yr for those with KSA experience. The 84,000 US that was posted was sort of misleading.

I hope they find enough teachers on such short notice...

but

.... this reminds me of 2007 when Bell had about the same time to recruit 80 teachers by Sept. I was one of the 9 teachers on site at the beginning of the semester. For almost 1 month I taught 140 students at atime in an amphitheater...because the classrooms were also not ready.

When I raised some concern to AHE about the short time to get everything done...they brushed me aside for being too negative. With all the experience I have in the KSA, I was trying to be realsitic.

With all your experience in the KSA, haven't you learned that they don't have any interest in being realistic... but for you to perform miracles?? Cool

With all your experience in KSA, didn't you realize that all of THEIR mistakes will end up getting spinned into YOUR negativity? They're never wrong...the teachers are just too negative!
