Contract is almost in the favour of Employer. I do not think so that they are thinking of you while making contract. The teaching allowance they providing is low as compared to market rate. Its better to not to accept this contract.

I agree, it looks as though they have you right where they want you. If I were you I would really have someone look over that before you sign, if you have not already.
