Hello, Fresh Meat - We Mean, BKC Moscow Teachers of 2009/2010

We wish you'd stop skipping and jumping and acting like you're King of the World. It's giving us a headache.

Sorry, that's just our bitterness speaking.

Here's what we wanted to tell you: holiday is coming. Oh, you want to go home for the holiday? Too bad. Too late. BKC Moscow says so. Unless you requested holiday time the minute you arrived to Moscow, you get nothing.

From the BKC IH MOSCOW WEEKLY NEWS


Dear teachers,
1. Attention! Holidays!
We are not able to approve any more holiday requests for January. Sorry for the inconvenience.

We will appreciate if you discuss your holiday plans with your students in a more positive way (i.e. encourage them to continue classes even with a cover teacher,  etc.)

this means that if any of the students do not come to class while you are gone, you will be blamed for this. you, the new teacher, barely into your second month of teaching, are now in charge of making sure students stay in class when BKC Moscow tells them to.
