Practicum wise, they also do not have a handle over me, correct? I just need to choose a school which I can work with and everything should be fine. I guess the school will also not see any point in making my life difficult since I will not be taking any salary from MOE and will not be their future colleague anyway and thereby not posting a threat to them? |
If you are so concerned about
MOE "having a handle over you", you should pursue a teaching career in a private/international school or overseas. When you join
MOE as an educator you give up a very significant chunk of your personal liberties, and you need to be okay with that to survive and thrive.
