I left school at the age of 15 years, and Engrish was not my best subject, which showed itself when righting a job application. While in Australia I was always told to get into the mining business. So I did get into the minding business and eye have been very successful at it .
I think everyone should get into the minding your own business.

The contract contravenes Cambodia Labor LawLesterBurnham wrote:Zaman International School's contract would be illegal as an "adhesion contract" in the US. In other words, it so completely favors the employer and is presented on a take it or leave it basis, that since approximately 1900 such contracts have been illegal. Examples of terms in the Zaman Contract: Zaman can terminate the contrct in as little as two weeks' notice, whereas the teacher must give 3 MONTHS notice to terminate. In addition, Zaman keeps part of the teacher's monthly salary ($100-$200) as a deposit, which the teacher will forfeit if they don't complete the contract. (I understand this is common in Cambodia, though I haven't seen such a draconian contract term in any other country.) Furthermore, if a teacher fails to meet a deadline, he/she is penalized $10 per day after the deadline has passed. Ouch! My anus stings. Another bizarre term of the Zaman contract: a teacher is penalized $.50 for each minute she is late for work. I must admit, this penalty I have never seen before and frankly could not have dreamed it up in my wildest teacher nightmare.
All after hours "fluff" meetings (this months' birthdays!?) are mandatory. Finally,mteachers are required to teach extra classes without being paid on a per hour basis. Never heard of that one either.
Amongst the weekly plans, the monthly plans, the long-term plans, the irrelevant (and incomprehensible) meetings, the Saturday meet the parents b/s, etc. a Zaman teacher is lucky to earn $5 per hour. A teacher is forced to do these things: as I described in a different thread, Zaman is Fascist.
