I'm at a public school and am considering asking my school for an advance on my November pay. Has anyone ever done this? Is it possible?

You just got paid 8 days ago and you already need more money? I don't think public schools give advances, and frankly, I'd be embarassed to ask, unless it was a huge emergency.

impossible and right cheeky, IMHO....

My public school actually offered to give me money to go to the dentist- I had sent almost all of my money home the previous day then broke my tooth- talk about timing. I had enough for food and my bills but nothing extra.


Now keep in mind I didn't ask for the money I just told them that I was going to have to wait for the next pay day to go to the dentist and get the tooth fixed.

ALWAYS keep enough money in country to buy a plane ticket home and/or fix a broken tooth, broken leg, etc. Come on, now...

Yeah, if you can avoid it at all, avoid it. The gossip at public schools is unbelievable. Everyone knows how much I make, how much my apartment costs, and probably my shoe size, weight, and shampoo too. It will make you look completley unprofessional, which in light of all the scandals lately, is something they are already thinking about all of us

Yea, go for it. What the *ell.

How's your relationship with your ct? After my first month, I spent a lot of money buying things for my apartment..and lots of shopping I wanted to get a phone too and my ct was going to help me but I told him I didn't have any more money. He was more than willing to lend but I refused. I've borrowed his money on the first day here since I was so tired from the flight and forgot to exchange my money. I paid him back the next day though.

OP_ You work at a public school and your payday is the 10th?
