As we know, work, like life, is what you make it. International Schools generally have a high turn over of staff as many educators go for the workplace and cultral experience in some cases for one or two contracts and then choose to take their savings home. Isn't that what happens in the world of expat living?
Having previously worked in an International School, staff turn was constant as people come unprepared for the demands of international school work and living in a new culture. Often people arrive wanting to live a fantasy of engaging in some culturally rich experience but end up spending all their time in the local rugby club house with their own culture. (no offense to those who choose to do this!)
The international school where I previously worked currently has a staff of 141. Of those, 32 were people I worked with 4 years ago. It was a brilliant school, people just did what they had to do and have since moved on.
