I am a new teacher who has just finished up my PGCE in the UK and have returned to Hong Kong to look for a full-time teaching position. I got a job offer from a local school but when I asked if I could take the contract away to look it over and make sure everything was okay for me, the HR manager gave a very adamant 'No'.
I have a friend who works at a local school who said this is normal and another friend who works in an international school who is it is not normal at all. I personally find it a bit suspicious but I have no experience in this matter.
Looking for some opinions on what I should do and whether this is normal.
