i know that overall, it has a bad rep
i had an interview about a position and i had a good feeling about the director. the email i received from a teacher also made it sound fairly good. i like the location. i would need to leave asap, which is possible. it pays 2.1, which is better than anything else i have been offered. i know i would have to work more hours and kindy than at some other jobs, but that is usally normal for someone with no experience.
i can't decide what to do
the director SEEMED nice and the teacher made it SEEM nice. i'm not
sure if it is too big of a risk. the fact that the pay is more makes
it seem less iffy. |

Just remember that you've been forewarned.....
They are always nice in the beginning. Slowly they turn into blood sucking slave drivers. |

Hey,
This sounds very familiar, I had a phone interview with a nice teacher and director. If this is the same position, the hours are brutal and they tell you to work overtime, you don't have a choice. The director also told me that I had to make up my mine fast cause he had 40 resumes in front of him. No kidding!
Please do the searches, you might save yourself a real bad year. I know that there are plenty of jobs that have got to be better. I am still at my same teaching position here in California till December but I am still getting recruiters sending me job descriptions even though I have written the 3 I had been working with I am not available.
Good luck,
Duke |

Do you mean the treatment was fairly sucky?
Please explain fairly... |

| They treated me fairly by paying on time, and working with me when I needed time off. I had some minor issues with them, but my issues seem to be common issues that others have experienced with at other schools. |
