Should I change jobs?

Hi all, hope all is well where you are, and if you’re in the ME like me, I hope you’re staying safe and remaining positive!

Like I say, I’m in the Middle East currently in the first year of a 2 year contract. I don’t want to give away anything identifiable, but for all sorts of reasons I wanted out even before last weekend. I teach an Arts subject at a school with a lot of local students who are so disinterested it’s untrue. They’re rude to me consistently, and they know it. I told a kid a few weeks ago that what he’d said was disrespectful and he thanked me lol.

I’ve got a final interview for a job somewhere else next week. I’ve heard colloquially from others that this school has had financial issues recently, and I know that the package they offer won’t be as good- no accommodation allowance like here for example.

Prior to everything going to s**t last week, I’d basically decided that unless they offered me a LOT more money than I get paid here, I would stay and finish my two years and then move on. But with the world how it is, the prospect of moving closer to home is definitely appealing, and maybe I can take a financial hit for the combo of that plus a better, more accepting working environment. But saying that, my current school have confirmed that if I go this year then they won’t pay me through the summer, so it would really be very tight financially to make the move, and I’m not sure I want to risk bankrupting myself to move to a situation that might be just as challenging in another way!

What would you guys do? Take the risk on this new school and hope the pay is enough that I’ll be financially secure and closer to home? Or stay and put up with the behaviour here for the sake of my contract? I’m stumped honestly.
