Hey

I am currently working at an international school, however I am being treated unfairly. There are several big issues which are making me unhappy and I am currently working under great fear; which is affecting my health, but I would rather not go into this in detail at this point.
I write on this forum in the hope that someone can help me with my concern. It has gotten to the stage where I am seriously considering breaking my contract and doing a ‘runner’. Are there any legal repercussions that I should be concerned about if I were to do this? I’m surmising but in my contract it does say that if the contract were to be broken then I would be liable to pay 2 months salary. Will this actually happen? Should I get paid and just run?
Will an international school pursue this if I have done a runner and am not even in the same country anymore? Will they cross borders (legally) and force me to pay it back? Would it get to court?
I’m under great stress by staying at the school but I don’t want to amplify this stress if doing a runner means my situation becomes even worse.

As for future employment chances, references etc - these issues are not my concern. I am only interested in whether legally the school will attempt to recoup the losses involved in moving a teacher abroad, or whether this is too much hassle for a school.

Thanks for any help
