I am glad to report that my boss is starting to shiver as the next academic year approaches. She's been screwing people over with low wages, her bad attitude and her god-complex, but now she has a problem.

At our school we have 10 teachers. It looks like only 1 teacher will be returning. At best, 2 teachers will still be working here. One of my co-workers commented today that our boss is clueless and is an interior decorator at work.

This, however, isn't getting exactly what she deserves. There have been 5 foreigners that have worked at this school this year, but I am the only foreigner at work that has worked here legally.

So...how do I get hold of (insert appropriate authority name here) to have them come to my school and see if the teachers are all above-board? It would be a pleasure to see my boss (who claims to earn W20 mil a month) go down in flames.

whether you realize it or not (? i wonder) the only people who would truly be screwed are the FTs you would rat out.

she might get fined or a slap on the wrist - get realistic - nothing much is going to happen to her

that's why so many of us warn about working illegally - the onus is on the teacher, not the employer; we're the ones that will pay the price if caught.

You do realize that bringing Immi to your school WILL get the other teacher in a tight situation. Possible deportation, fines, and whatnot....

Sorry, I just realized that is the link to the homepage. On the menu (left) at the bottom is a link: Report of Immigration Offender.

You can report there. It is up to you.
