Yep - respect goes both ways. Some of the deficits in working conditions raised in this thread are outrageous. Even subsidized health insurance is totally unacceptable in such a hazard fraught location.
ACE and the rest of them deserve all the HR problems they get.
ACE school has Khmer teachers?

Short courses over Christmas, if you're a lucky chosen one, which eases the financial burden. It's a pretty stressful time, tho, financially, if you're a sessional teacher.

There IS free health insurance for sessional teachers at ACE - but only for accidents - and only in a second rate hospital i.e Calamette NOT The Royal Phnom Penh. However, if you opt into AETNA (around $400-800 per year) ACE pay 50% which they take in 4 instalments. AETNA are superb and cough up for everything. That's ONE positive thing about ACE.Chuangt2u wrote:Insurance?

From what I heard from a friend that is a tutor and charging $25 an hour tailored to the students and only takes ACE students:
1) You cannot ask questions and so they do not learn.
2) Some students are nervous and shy, so they do not tell the teacher they do not understand what they are saying.
3) Homework is photocopied instead of a book. And also tests are photocopied and are not prepared by the teachers.
Whoever said this is a fine institution ... maybe in Cambodia. But my friend is making a boatload of money off the school. Teaching their students.

What does the school charge students?
Surely it would be in the Board's interests to have a profit-sharing incentive for staff?
Just like any smart company does?

Between $21 and $25 an hour, I believe, depending on the level you teach.
