Seems like an online pissing contest has already begun....
I see Mad Hatter's point (through emperical first-hand evidence), but I don't get the "oh, I'M an established, professional teacher....I have nothing to worry about" sort of attitude and "anyone who's afraid is pretty much a backpacker themselves" sort of slam......
....as full of yourselves and your alleged credintials as you seem to be, you're jes' one Director looking to cut costs away from being replaced by a backpacker as any of us are.... |

I truly sorry that some posters would refer to me as a Recruiter just because they disagree with my point of view. I have nothing to gain from encouraging competition to come here but I have a lot to loose from fearing it! |
Well you seem to have removed the part of your post in which it said something about "hiring people" - nor problem there, although I see a conflict of interest.
Come on you guys. We are all teachers here. But from what I gather of the posts no one is willing to paint a realistic picture. what I see, and who I talk to, down at Santas, and in the alley with the lifers, as well as in district 2 with the well offs whilst hanging out at Snap cafe , is that things now are not anywhere near what they used to be. I'm here nearly ten years. and its been ups and downs. I implore you- stop painting a rosy picture for newbies. Its really crap here now. Dont resort to slights about someone 'not having their finances together' or other digs at one's personnae. Im a lifer- But you have to agree- this meme about"adventure" is straight out of the recruiter playbook. This is serious business now. Vietnam is not at a cheery and shiny point in economic terms. ELT is way way down. thats all. Be realistic and give the kiddies out there a break. tell them the truth! |
