What made you come up with that assumption? Seems like you move in a very narrow social circle!

Oh sorry logos, I forgot to divide them by the crims too. I think that's what Slavedog was meaning. There are more crims than teachers. I stand corrected. And yes, I do try to avoid them.

To know what is moving in and out of the country you need to speak to one of the professional relocation companies.
There are many many hundreds of people being moved in and out with accommodation budgets alone of 3 to 9k.
You'd expect they were getting paid comensurately.
I am of course talking per month in case of any misunderstanding on your, solipsistic, part.
Many of them won't have such generous accounts in the coming year. You can probably apply that to teachers too.

Oi, stop using words that most other people have to look up and while we are at it get your other account/ membership ( whatever the word is ) reactivated. Tis most confusing with all these guest plus numbers!

You buffoon. The whole point of the last few posts was that a member was refuting the fact that expats have money sent from abroad to survive out here and that it didn't matter whether the dollar was worth 5c or SFA. I was just posting tounge in cheek to his obvious knob-headedness, as there are many threads on this and the other forum requesting information on the best way (cheapest) to transfer money into the country from foreign bank accounts. Let alone the fact that the Riel is pegged to the dollar.

It would be interesting to hear from some teachers as to how they are coping financially right now. I’m guessing many don’t have savings back home to help them and I’ve seen several desperate posts by teachers on Cambodia FB pages indicating a lot of stress.
Schools are reopening for in-person classes. Students are enrolling. Teachers are being given start dates.
If there is an expat teacher shortage, it should be clear by this time next month, All schools took a big economic hit, even those that developed successful online programs. I am sure most simply don't have the cash to raise teacher pay before 'bums-on-seats' have been counted and paid for. Similarly, most teachers will be glad to be back at it, and not pushing for a raise yet.
(Fact is, though not every class of every day is a joy, teaching motivated students often feels like the intrinsically good thing it is. Adding layers of electronics thins that feeling: most students and most teachers, worldwide, have grown to miss classroom learning over the shutdown.)
As things normalize through October and November - assuming whatever has kept the virus at bay in Cambodia (Material for another thread.) keeps up, and there is no spike in cases or deaths, closer to year end might be a good time for good teachers to ask for a raise.
Or not?
Did most good teachers leave the country? Come Nov., will good schools be desperate to hire the few remaining skilled and qualified ones?

Is TEFLing the most common job for expats in Cambodia?Bandit wrote: ↑Sat May 23, 2020 2:24 pmOnly a small proportion of expats are teflers. Don’t confuse the noise they make and the time they fuck up publicly and shamefully and so appear on 440 with numbers.
There aren’t that many on 440, let alone in the wider expat population.
It's pretty easy to spot the teflers on here by their illegible, almost illiterate,Shenanigans-supporting, boorish ramblings on this forum.
Who knows? Very hard to say in current circumstances, and hard enough this time last year, or much earlier.
A friend evacuated to Thailand during the coup said there was about 4 times as many expats in his smallish provincial town as he knew about. He was a white Australian and knew pretty much all the white folks. He hadn't known about the large number of Asian expats in town. Many connected to education in some form, even if their real 'job' was religion of one type or another.
By the broadest definition of expat, not likely, but we could rig the definitions to make it nearly true. Say, "Teaching (more generally) is one of the most common jobs of white native English speaking expatriates in Cambodia."
But, have most of the skilled teachers now left?
