Learning Jungle Reviews

- Do not believe any of the teacher's reviews you are sent by e-mail from admin (if you ever ask) or the review you see on the school's website. Those reviews were mandatory for foreign staff and teachers were not getting their final paycheck if they wouldn't submit a review. On top of that, teachers are not getting a professional reference letter by a supervisor or coordinator. The reference letter is from an HR member who has no knowledge of education and have not been in our classroom once all year. - The 10 000$ fee if you break the contract should say enough - The administration will not help with any behavioural case in our classes and will even push to 31 students in a class (maximum should be 30) - The school has a very secretive culture and has major communication issues within the team. - Cameras with audio in classes are not there for the security of students and teachers... - No trust towards teachers : teachers are excluded from official meetings (supposedly because it is Khmer although it is Canadian school) office makes decisions despite the fact that they all have degrees in management and business and no one has an education degree. Conclusions are put without the agreement of teachers and all of our professional input is discarded. - Teachers are not allowed to speak to parents directly. So much misunderstanding happen from this and the office also distorts information to the parents /teachers, decides not to share information to parents/teachers, or has complete misunderstanding of teacher's comments. Sometimes the office members are so scared of the parents that they will just agree to everything they say without realizing that they would disrupt the classroom's internal structure. - Exploitation of Khmer assistants and cleaners. - Students in Kindergarten have to do 2 worksheets per subject a day. There is no focus and value on hands-on and playing and inquiry based learning.

- Only one upper grade class of Grade 3. (No classes for students under grade 3) - No upper management in the education field (Top priority is profits not student achievement) - Advertisement says that the teachers... "meet and often exceed the necessary qualifications required for licensed childcare centres; with each room having a qualified E.C.E. (Early Childhood Educator). " The truth was that only 1 of the 4 teachers was ECE or a Canadian certified teacher or who simply smoke was a native English speaker (They did not all have the necessary and experience to be leading a class of over 28 Kindergarten students with 3 staff that speak minimal English. - Eminent threats with the labour ministry to lock us up if we left our contract. (3 different employees) - Eminent threats of paying over $10,000 USD for breaking a contract that is vagued and only protects them. (4 employees) - They can/will fire you for any questions that they seem inappropriate. - Will be fired if you ask for a smaller than 31 class size for Grade 1 - Will be fired if you ask about the School's REAL accreditation.
