[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s not forget all of the fees as part of this program. The agency charges participants $2,500 for a consultancy fee, a fee to check their credentials, visa fee, international flights to get here, plus thousands of dollars of their personal money to cover living expenses until their first paycheck.

Everyone is blaming MCPS but they are contracting out with this agency and its this agency's responsibility to do all this.[/quote]

I blame MCPS for selecting a cheap ass agency [/quote]

You need to get out of your bubble. These kind of agencies are typical in 3rd world countries. It isn't MCPS's responsibility to ensure they provide better services. Like the PP said, the conditions in these countries are worse so people go abroad and endure this to give their family better living conditions.[/quote]

This is not a reason for us to exploit people [/quote]

How are they being exploited? If they agreed to the agency’s terms and they are providing what they agreed to, they aren’t being exploited. [/quote]

NP. Companies like these take advantage of candidates' economic desperation through sometimes illegal but poorly policed means to exploit people who they know will be too scared to fight against maltreatment or to even know it's happening before they're in too deep with "loans," etc. to extricate themselves. I personally know someone from the Philippines who ended up in a trafficking situation this way through a bait-and-switch with a scummy hospitality contracting company, passports locked away for "safekeeping." Hopefully FCEC is more reputable but the whole model is set up around exploitation of desperation to one degree or another. It's gross and it makes my stomach turn that MCPS has resorted to this.

MCPS is doing it to hide the number of teachers and get out of paying benefits.  Its horrid but it is what it is until people hold the BOE accountable.[/quote]
