He watches all the students continuously and immediately helps any with difficulties. Missus is being educationally challenged like never before. Wonderful.

I would hope the smart schools are doing like ACE.

That's really good to hear. I've heard they have a pretty good handle on it. In general, from my somewhat limited experience, they do tend to be one of the better schools. They already have some experience with online teaching, and I know their CELTA trainers have knowledge of online teaching, so I bet those resources help.

I wasnt gonna post about it because wasn't sure but a friend of mine who also teaches at one of the schools said he heard same. that returning at some point in May. Which of course leads me back to thinking or hoping they open for USA citizens... that might be a stretch considering how many cases we have here..

i hope so bcoz im looking for a freezer about my partners size after a month of this shit

Schools are not currently preparing for a May return. They will reopen when the government announces they can.

Not all schools have made staff or salary cuts. We are still working full time and on full salary, doing online work at the school-no cuts to teaching staff numbers. The owner has told me the situation will remain the same until the end of the academic year on June 30th. and she is prepared to maintain those standards till September or later, if necessary. We're lucky, I guess.

i can't access the cia website, is it down?

gilmore, where do you work?

my partner needs to work there, lol

not desperate but a few more months of this and we will be

School fees sparks new protest in capital
28 May 2020
Parents and guardians of students enrolled in the capital’s CIA First International School are planning to submit a petition to Prime Minister HE to demand a 35 percent reduction in school fees due to the implementation of remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The announcement to submit a petition came today as around 50 people representing over 500 parents and guardians of pupils at the school staged a protest in front of the school in Phnom Penh’s Sen Sok district.

Long Phalla, a parent present at the protest said that this is the third protest being held at the school to request the school leaders for a 35-percent discount in fees for Grades 1 to 12.

The group also asked school leaders to suspend online learning for all kindergarten pupils from April until a new notice is made by the Ministry of Education to allow students to return to school.

According to the parents and guardians of students, they are paying fees ranging from $4,000 to $7800 per year, from kindergarten through to grade 12.
