Things to consider with agencies

Postbox letter from Papaya

In my opinion, working for an agency is one of the worse things that can happen to a teacher in Thailand.

Can you advise this teacher?

The problems with working for a great school but a poor agency

John loves the school that he works at but there are storm clouds brewing. He feels that the teacher placement agency might be in danger of losing the contract but he is 'legally bound' not to work directly for the school. John sees his long-term future in Thailand but doesn't want to continue with all this uncertainty. What would you do in his situation?
