complicated simplicity

Ehrm…..Personally, I don’t think many people will want to teach in Singapore, considering the new teachers in the UK get at least £1800 and a hell lot of benefits already. And the terms MOE gives doesn’t really look too enticing. It’s going to be a long fight for teachers all over the world, I suddenly feel wanted.
