[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why the budget is paying for their housing expenses.[/quote]

This is how the Filipino teachers throughout the US are contracted.[/quote]

I'm sorry but how is this fair? Do other teacher recruits receive these benefits?[/quote]

No. Not if they're hired from anywhere else in the U.S [/quote]

Clearly neither of you have taught outside the US. Housing is a standard benefit for foreign teachers. I taught in Central Europe before I taught for MCPS. The company I contract with negotiated housing for us. A few friends have taught in the UAE. Their benefits included housing and a driver. I have friends whose kids taught in East Asia. They all got housing and free meals.

When I taught in the public schools in Japan, they provided my housing and paid half the rent!   Here it is hard to even find housing or get a credit card without a credit history.[/quote]

This is standard when it is a hardship place or when the location does not speak your language. You will not find teachers getting support beyond ten days with housing in Europe. In Central America most housing for expats is passed down but This seems more like a deal for someone and not independent contracts

They must have come up with a deal with the recruiting agency that allows them to pay the teachers less while securing apartments in a block [/quote]
