My contract finishes up at the end of june. Not a good time to be applying for public schools as my rpf runs out at the end of july.

I've worked in both sectors, each have their own advantages/dissadvantages, such as the curfew/gate-keeper scenario. However publc schools do have a lot of holidays... However private schools can offer more privacy...however private schools can provide more money... however public schools are, as a general rule more legit..
however public schools can be more relaxed without the parents peering in the windows 'is he chewing gum?' 'why didn't he pay more attention to my son/daughter?'
however, public schools do have a lack of a curriculum, books, etc..

So I'm wondering what to do next, what's your thoughts?

We're thinking Nanjing, more possibilities for my girlfriend (she can't stand it here, people are rude apparantley.) perhaps it's the north-east racism thing. Can't figure that one out what happened to 'conrade'

If you can secure a new position and you can arrive at the school before the term ends, the school can renew your RPF. That's what I did last July -- I arrived at the school just days just days before my RPF was to expire and the school got me a new one for another year.
