Re: Pastoral Care in Schools
I envy those in pastoral care who get to work from home - that's the life and it's completely doable if not preferable to the way it once was. I pity those who work in pastoral care in person right now. Too close for comfort for my taste.

Re: Thoughts on Search Online Fairs
I don't get virtual fairs. Why sign up for OnlyFans when you can get the real thing? With that said, the real fairs are only good for the action after hours anyway. Cattle call otherwise.

Re: Racism in China
China is the most racist country on earth at present all while lecturing European and North American countries to hug a Chinese to prove they aren't racist against Chinese. Spare me! I would also warn anyone teaching in China to get out ASAP. In particular, Hong Kong is done. So sad. Hundreds of thousands Western-oriented residents of Hong Kong are looking to get out any way they can. The international schools there are finished faster than even those on mainland China. Get out fast.

Re: Situation in China
It's pretty obvious at this point that China is over in the short term. Sorry money hungry pigs who invested way too much there. Sadly, it's spreading within Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Iran too. Likely to become endemic like dengue but obviously this is much worse. Hopefully it will stop there, but likely coming to a market or street or apartment block near you very soon. Stay safe to all and to all a good night.

Tale as old as time. Those on this thread feigning shock and horror are are either deluded, ignorant, or jealous. No matter. Take him up on it and see where it leads.

Re: Pet peeve of mine
@Sid, you make my point for me. I would not want to work within 100 yards of you.
I was clearly responding to the original poster who described scenarios in which the applicant jumped through many hoops already before the school's recruiters decide to go silent. That is the very definition of rude on the part of the school and if you can't call that bastardly behavior, something is clearly very wrong with you.
It's one thing to never respond to thousands of random applicants, but it's not an applicants fault when schools/recruiters are not capable of doing their job correctly and either they interview too many applicants or take too many applicants too deep into the process. That's a sign of incompetent leadership. When on top of that the recruiters can't even have the decency to say thank you to those they strung along, the recruiters are in my "good riddance to bad rubbish" category.

Re: Pet peeve of mine
I actually love it when this happens because it puts the spotlight on what bastards the people running the school really are and demonstrates how lucky I am to have dodged the bullet of being offered a job (that I may have been foolish enough to accept) to work with them. This happens all the time and is illustrative of the dreck that have sadly ascended to high positions, not just in international schools, but also in many "respectable" organizations both domestically and internationally. Consider yourself blessed; you have someone looking out for you in high places!

Thames, please don't take offense to my post. I just thought it odd that you playing against type with your latest response. I frankly missed hearing about your Eurolife.

Re: What to ask a potential employer
I think asking the head if he is autistic is wise and completely fair game.

Basically, the school likes it quick and dirty.
