In Scandinavia you get about 16 hours teaching and the rest is for you to plan. This only applies to high school teachers. Not sure about the rest of them.

The LOI said that it was dependent on my references basically. I know that my references are good, but I just do not like the waiting process. I want to know that everything is settled. The only reason that I am still looking is because everything I have read on here about LOI's is that they aren't binding and that you should continue looking, PsyGuy 's posts specifically. I just don't know what the appropriate process is and what I should be doing (twiddle thumbs and try to be patient?). I don't want to miss out on an opportunity and then not get the contract from this school because I do not want to stay at my current school for another year. I have only emailed two other schools.

So you think I should stop contacting other schools? I don't want to upset this school, I do like them and do want to work for them.

General Question: How long is appropriate between receiving/signing a LOI and receiving a contract?

More Specific: I signed an LOI with a well known school and I was just wondering if it is common for a pretty prestigious school to reconsider following through on an LOI?

Silly Question: How long between sending an email should you wait to hear back before sending another email? I just don't want to be that nagging person.

Side note: I understand that an LOI is not a contract and that I should continue my search process. I just desperately want this job. Not a good feeling to be in limbo.
