You're referring to the boomer deadweights who are coasting because they want to be "HOT"?

Also, if CEP review and dicussion during ranking is supposed to be phased out wef from this year, whats supposed to be the new process & structure in determining promotion?

for the first qn, and if i am to believe the hint given by my P last year, yes. it’s possible to be promoted N+1 year coz i got promoted this year.

not many people able to give u an answer for the second qn though.

I didn’t rec any info means didn’t get promoted le? Hai.

Ex MOE teacher can charge around $70 or more for sec sch, and at least $100 for math or jc subject.

To hit $7k a month, which is more than what most ordinary teacher earns, just need to work 100h a month, or 25h a week. Roughly 2-3 students every day for 1.5h sessions. Very doable. Just get from agent if doing 1-1. Should be able to scale up to conduct group tution or even tuition classes and earn even more.

Maybe might not earn as much as SLs, but can definitely earn a very comfortable salary given the shorter number of hours put in. Not everyone places thier priorities on money'. Think nowadays all the young teachers have plenty of choices from what I see.

How to check increment if promoted? Must wait till 12 april?
