Comments: When
the cost of living on the island is exactly the same as the
UK, it is very difficult to live on the wage paid for
a single man, but impossible for a married man, unless, like
me, my wife was working. However, to be fair to King
Richard III College,
the other international schools here all pay the same "minimum
wage" for teachers and all the teachers there resent it,
too!
For example,
there is a dire lack of up-to-date textbooks in Science,
and no range of Physics reading material to inspire
the brighter students at King
Richard III College.
However, there is a library full of Harold Robbins old editions
donated from parents!
The
kids even have to buy their own exercise book. Mr B pays for
one textbook per pupil each year and considers that
enough
for 'the curriculum'. Narrow-minded?....
