BB I think you give great input to this forum, some will disagree with me I am sure, and of course sometimes your posts have driven me mad, but in general I am glad you post what you post but sometimes yr use of words can mislead readers of the forum

As one of the most straight forward, coherent posters on here, can I just say IMHO, Bbee is our resident Emo Poster yet to discover the amazing world of punctuation.............
Tis true Bbee provides a lot of information, about 65% of which is de facto, still current and can be relied upon.Again imho.

Re: Teaching at the Al Yasmina school, Abu Dhabi
i dont know the pay of teachers, as the ex-bsak teachers THAT moved to pearl/yasmina i believe they mostly got a promotion etc. the only prob with any job in this region at the moment, is whether as a wage (whether you add together allowances or lump sum) you have enough to cover the cost of housing, teachers usually get accommodation provided which i am sure is the case, so you can take that out of the factor, that is the real sticking point here at the moment, but the rents should be coming down but who knows when, i have heard that they have started a little so hopefully it will long continue, and go back down to a reasonable level such as a couple of years ago and everyone was happy.

Re: Teaching at the Al Yasmina school, Abu Dhabi
My daughter is at Yasmina and my son will start in September. In my opinion it is an excellent school and far better than the vast majority of state schools in the UK.
It has fabulous facilities and my daughter's teacher is fantastic. The only slight downside is class size - up to 22 in the junior school - but I believe that is normal in the UAE (and of course in the state sector in the UK).
Good luck

Re: Teaching at the Al Yasmina school, Abu Dhabi
I have a job interview for the school next week and, having spoken to some friends who used to teach in the UAE, am receiving mixed messages bout teaching in Abu Dhabi as it seems to vary immensely from school to school. Does anybody have any information regarding the school , especially anyone who teaches there as i do feel like i'm going into the interview rather blind, i do not even know the wage or year group the post is for!! Thank you.
I have an interview for this School Al Yasmina next week
Wht do you teach and did u get the job?
