Biggest mistake I ever made - Fellow Heart for Change Employee Review

Signing up to this program was the biggest mistake I ever made. I was placed in an unfit school where I was never wanted, forced to work 20 hours with a co-teacher who was impossible to communicate or work with. I sat on the side and wasted my time doing absolutely nothing. Then when I finally started to teach, I taught five hours over the 8 weeks I was at the school, with 4 out of those 5 teaching hours alone in a classroom with 40, fifteen year old students… when I barely speak Spanish. Myself and the other fellow at the school made it very clear that we were both miserable the entire time. HFC did not care and I was forced to give an ultimatum that if they didn’t transfer me, I was going to quit because I could not mentally cope with my situation. The ministry refused to transfer me due to ‘quotas’, even when I was told there were spots available at other schools. The school had three previous fellows before us and all three had problems and HFC still placed two new fellows into a school with a hostile environment. My advice to anyone considering this program,: If someone asks for a 'commitment deposit', its because people aren't commiting for a reason.
