Re: School breaking contract terms

Have others had sand_fan's experience of new schools being sympathetic or at least not dismissive of candidates who are in a position where they feel like they need to leave a contract early because of a current school who has not upheld its end of the contract? I simply wonder how much information is too much information for a potential new employer? And the more I have to say the more likely it will look bad for me despite doing nothing wrong.

Re: School breaking contract terms

At this point I am just trying to figure if I can make it through the first year of my new two year contract. The housing is not acceptable in any way and what has been offered is not what is stated would be in the letter of the contract, so I don't need to get into more details than that.

I have a nearly eight year career in international teaching and I want to remain in international teaching, but I just don't see how I can fulfill this contract. If I can only last a year, will another school hire me or am I done/blacklisted? I would be willing to leave the continent I am on to simply continue my international teaching career as long as I can somehow not be haunted by this extremely corrupt hr operation at my new school. Wisdom from all of you is greatly appreciated.

School breaking contract terms

I have seen a lot of questions on this forum about teachers breaking their contracts, and the consequences for them and their schools moving forward. My question is what happens when a school so obviously is breaking its end of the deal - and from the start? What are the options that the teacher has to address misrepresentation and outright unfulfilled promises? If these issues are not fixed, what would your advice be to the teacher?
