As a rule of thumb, just avoid fucking teaching in this country. My experience thus far has been ridiculously surprising, in a negative sense.
I'd go as far to say avoid this country altogether.

Some of the best teachers are those who have had the worse learning experiences/environments themselves.angsta wrote:Satan ™ wrote:as well as avoiding Beltei like the plague i would also advise DO NOT WORK FOR E.L.T, it's fine if you like getting paid late, teaching complete mind numbing books to a bunch of inept, nouvo riche dicks, working with a complete bunch of fuck wits (thats the khmers and Foreign staff) and being employed by a family who i wouldnt piss on if they were on fire, they wont even buy paper for christ sake, i had to literally go round the corner and buy my own blank paper to have things i wanted photocopied, and even then it seemed like a great deal of hassle for them to do it for me.
I met a guy from Kent who worked for E.L.T. and who claimed, no boasted to have spent much of his youth (16-19) in a young offenders centre. Had some nice borstal tattoos. Lovely guy, seemed like a really great teacher.
Nothing but an opinionated tourist. The Pope spends more time in countries than I do ! It is also not my place to comment on a gentleman's dress. A real 23 minute wonder, that obviously knows little about ovens and cooking in Cambodia.

I keep saying this: teaching is fine - just don't work for any place either owned or managed by Khmers.ActionAction wrote:As a rule of thumb, just avoid fucking teaching in this country. My experience thus far has been ridiculously surprising, in a negative sense.

Might be a stupid question. But, I would gather the only problem with teaching English in Cambodia is the people managing the schools and not the students themselves. I would assume (rightly or wrongly) that most of the students are well behaved. Is this assumption correct?
Some info just so you know a bit about me:
I'm not thinking of teaching in Cambodia as a vocation per se, but I was thinking of doing a TEFL certificate as part of volunteering with an NGO. (Most likely in Siem Reap - everyone on this forum seems to be from Phnom Penh with the occasional Sihanoukville - anyone from Siem Reap?). I've been to Cambodia before as part of a Habitat for Humanity build, so I know what it's like (also lived in other parts of SEA on and off over my lifetime, grew up in Penang from the age of 4yo to 7yo, once had an Indonesian Fiancee, so was in and out of Indonesia a bit, as well as having done a H4H build there as well).
