Is it normal for English classes to have so many substitute teachers?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

You haven't...or Birdy hasn't?
Isn't Nursie the current Ms. Newkid? I think Birdy was the first one. Cam probably remembers better than I.
I am sooooo very sorry if you can't understand or appreciate my sarcastic facetiousness.

Nope. She would have take a pay cut of about 50-70% and triple her work hours.

I have not found a thread to talk about or comment about it or ask... so I ask here.... Do you teachers of English are seen as low class expats?

They certainly are in Vietnam. I am sure there are many good teachers but there are also to many dodgy school that will hire pretty much anyone with a white face.

True... In Vietnam, expat English teachers are seen as low class people.
