This is a terrible situation! I can't believe the US embassy is that lame..I suggest that the principal contact the press (BBC)or CNN to investigate this injustice. Perhaps teachers can get the word out. BTW, we are planning a move to Kuwait--I will uphold my contract, but after hearing this, I'm really concerned.

The 30.000 dollar salary could not be enough if the school is in Dubai, as the cost of living has risen something like 140% over the past 5 years. I had an offer there, but turned them down once I figured I wouln't be saving much due to the costs.

Any advice regarding the school? I've seen the gamut of reviews on the ISR website. How is the housing, and cost of living in Kuwait. Would travel to ME countries such as Egypt or Jordan be expensive from Kuwait international airport??
