QUESTION:
We have been silent for almost 2 years due to Covid and moving forward during Covid was unwise. What is the Atmosphere or Behavior/Relationship between schools and teachers?

Our Goal For ESL Teachers
The purpose of being represented by Filipino Goodwill ESL, NPO is so that we can the of the schools on your behalf for the following:
* Higher pay.
* No more .
* No more contracts.
* No more bonuses (I call it to reach a livable wage). No more financial penalties or of pay.
* No more Filipino run satellite offices for the schools, handling you, your pay, your classes and your students in a manner in which the home office is not aware of.
* No more " " treated and controlled as " ".
No more having to handle school/teacher disputes on your own. You will be .
* Teachers will no longer be viewed as employees. Teachers will be recognized as sole proprietors of a business that provides a service.
THE END RESULT:
● A hourly starting pay rate. The ESL Teachers we represent have indicated that they will accept no less than 200php per task completion (One Hour Teaching Time).
● Contract pay increases that reflect course difficulty, student level, teachers' performance, skill, behavior, the economy and cost of living changes.
● To have independent contractors be recognized as sole proprietor rather than your employees.
● The schools will recognize themselves as " " rather than .
● To develop with the schools a contract for the teachers that represents them fairly, and equally with the contracting school, with the best interest of both the teacher and the school in mind.
● Goodwill ESL to stand as a mediator of disputes / the delivering entity in regards to coaching, write-ups, / of contracts between schools and teachers.
● Filipino Goodwill ESL will assess, train, provide all-access mentor-ship programs and assist with the cost of advanced learning courses such as , Tefl & .
● Teachers agreed pay rate will be based on teaching capabilities or "level". The rate will be a case by case determination.
● Putting an end to monetary penalties and replacing with contractually agreed steps to correct an issue such as mandatory focused program, reduction in students and if necessary an end to the contract.
● Putting an end to bonuses and incentives that had been used to get as much work as possible from the teachers. Causing the teacher to try and earn enough between underpaid rate and bonus to live on.
*** Overall eliminating the games, , and the basic , (potentially ) handling of the relationship between school and teacher.

Filipino Goodwill ESL is an American owned and operated non profit organization, created to bypass the greed and control over Filipino teachers that had become common with several (not all) Online Schools.

First, stop registering with the form. I have to remove the form links as there is something wrong with it. If you wish to be a part of Filipino Goodwill Esl (staffing and support) you can just email your cv and a 1 minute audio intro to [email protected]

Everyone thank you for your kind words. Ive never been a quitter when other peoples concerns were at stake. Ive at times put my goals for you guys in front of the necesseties of my own life simply because Im that driven. Its a very personal thing for me to create a pathway to freedom for you as well as being able to maintain the relationships with the schools (which is why we are offering services to schools also). After 6yrs of fighting for your rights, your earnings and your safety I guess it shocks me that now people dont feel safe. I dont know how to feel about that or where to go wirth it. Its almost as if my fight for you was viewed as if it was never sincere and that now I would somehow compromise your safety. Im just standing here now wondering, what do I do now?

I am grateful though that some were touched or that some have earned more because they found their worth. Also that schools are starting at 200php per hour, that is a huge success that Im grateful to have been an instrument in.

This is why nothing will change unless change is forced. "Human Rights" mean nothing to those in power in China. Chinese schools feel they have power and authority over you. This is their norm.

Chinese officials reject what Dominic Raab says are "deeply troubling" reports of forced sterilisation.

How time and progress feel when youre the only one who cares.

This sure sounds like a sweet sentiment doesn't it? Unfortunately we are going to have to think deeper than a Filipino ESL teacher to notice the obvious. None of this is possible if you don't love yourself enough to let this in.

I'll make one more investment into reaching you. If I can't get you out of your own way of blocking your path to freedom this time? It will be the last time I even lean in to hear who is abusing you. I will be done 100%.
