Yeah, you'd do well not to tell me - I don't want my weekend ruined!

A full time job in a private school here means somewhere between 25 and 30 hours per week. I'd be looking for at least one full time teacher in the school, one to do external courses and a part timer to do various bits and pieces. I'd also look to do as much as I could without compromising my role as director, ie not having enough time to get things organised properly (like now :-( )

To be honest I haven't see so much of Italy as getting off the island gets to be a bit time consuming, expensive and tiresome. However, Europe has really opened up recently and once you're on the mainland getting around is easy enough.

Don't expect the sort of money you're earning over there though. Just through teaching you need to work pretty hard here to clear 2K.
