Good stuff dude! That's great to hear.KaoTeK wrote:Maybe things have changed, maybe I spent far too long teaching inThailand where often it really is just just a case of being a white face to show the parents, or maybe there's an element of snobbery going on, but my experience is positive so far.
I've not met a single foreign teacher who isn't a native speaker (not that I think that particularly matter) I have been provided with books and cds for every grade/class, and even received constructive feedback on my lessons, something I've not had even at super posh catholic schools in Thailand..... I dunno, after a few weeks I may well see why there's the hate, but at the moment what those threads allude to and my experience don't really tally...
I think a lot of the teachers whining about schools make life difficult for themselves. Maybe they have higher expectations than are strictly necessary, or maybe they are being unreasonable in their outlook. Who knows? Sweating on the little things is natural to most people. The biggest thing that would make me leave a school is if they do not pay me in full and on time. No messing about there. They pay or I leave.
In my experience I will give a school a try and be flexible in my outlook. If things are really bad then I will leave pronto and I will ALWAYS consider what I did or did not do to exacerbate the situation.
Teaching, like life, is mostly what you make of it. Sometimes things that you cannot control will mess you about but generally you are the one with the control.
Best of luck mate. Sounds like you're enjoying yourself so get stuck in

I agree with the overall vibe of your post, but u have to be pretty flexible and easy going to enjoy ANY school in pp.Eturnal Youf wrote:Good stuff dude!

The OP should ask around and see how long teachers have been there. When I was there, there were about 5 dinosaurs and the other 20 teachers were pretty much all fresh out of LanguageCorp and had been there for a month or 2 at best...
LoL, they are there to fool. U think those cute girls at the front need them for all the graphic design work they do? A calculator would probably be overkill for the work they do..KaoTeK wrote: Well the big arse Macs @ reception had me fooled.... guess Apple's marketing fooled me after all... do I need to get the fuck out then?

QFT, couldnt have put it better myself...I dunno I'm just happy to teach kids that want to (for the most part) learn, and aren't just waiting to leave to get pregnant or start their careers as tuc-tuc drivers.... The money is as good as Thailand, but cost of living is cheaper, and Khmers are just generally more genuine than Thais.... so yeah, I may be at a "joke" school, bit I'm happy and that's all that really matters right?Eturnal Youf wrote:Good stuff dude!

Yeah no shit, I'm an I.T boy from way back so I had a chuckle when I saw them, and wasn't fooled, especially given I am no fan of the fruity brand.... funniest thing is they are boot-camping them with Win7cambod wrote:LoL, they are there to fool.

All the foreign teachers I've met (around 10) have been there a year or longer (some 5 or 6 years) except one safa bird who's on her 3rd month...
Well, that's a good sign! How many hours did they throw at u? What hourly rate are u getting for your classes (assuming u're not salary)?KaoTeK wrote:All the foreign teachers I've met (around 10) have been there a year or longer (some 5 or 6 years) except one safa bird who's on her 3rd month...
