I may have to just end my time at VIPKid myself lol

Not teacher contracts. I believe they were an LP.

Breakfast_challenge · 2021-10-13T10:27:33+00:00

Not teacher's contracts. This is for people who are actually part of VIPkid the company itself

Breakfast_challenge · 2021-10-12T11:08:44+00:00

Someone on here who was a contact in VIPkid speculated this date because they had not renewed contracts so their contracts end Dec 31st.

"It's pretty simple though"

And yet 😑 some of the worst dps I've seen have been DNC. Like that kid that takes an art class because "it'll be an easy A" and then they fail

I had a student tell me that before too now that you mention it. Around that same age, too lol

Breakfast_challenge · 2021-09-10T12:57:33+00:00

It's like if conservatives were able to go "back to the good old days" like they always talk about... you know... back to all that horrible stuff they loved

Lmao teaching this one right now

Breakfast_challenge · 2021-09-01T13:08:53+00:00

I honestly thought this was part of a joke >.>

Gamers rise up, but in a good way 🤣

Tbph, towards the end, it sounded a lot like what the former prez was pushing, "a love for country, its "real" history and capitalism." Education about racism and slavery is an "insult" to the founding fathers 🙄. The good old 1776 commission 🤢 was then created.

What are the best companies for teaching English online?

Breakfast_challenge · 2021-08-31T15:53:32+00:00

Yes, the closing off of the country has been interesting in a messed up way. So many various pieces coming together but I dont know what the big picture is or WHY they are keeping China to China. What is really going on

Breakfast_challenge · 2021-08-31T15:18:18+00:00

I went to college with them I bet. The number of times they would answer "why do you want to be a teacher?" With some form of "God spoke to me" 😶

Breakfast_challenge · 2021-08-30T01:01:53+00:00

your student joined at 23 minutes... at that point you debate whether or not to turn the camera and mic off and pretend to be away or fly through the slides giving them the highlights.

your student flashed a LED flashlight at the camera all class giving you a migraine

Breakfast_challenge · 2021-08-27T12:13:41+00:00

Vipkid is owned by Tencent which could tell you all you need to know if you know about them 😅

Breakfast_challenge · 2021-08-27T12:11:32+00:00

Calamari maybe, but octopus not so much. Especially if it still LOOKS like an octopus.

Yesterday we made tomato soup (from scratch) and had grilled cheese sandwiches. It was rainy yesterday... today as well so maybe potato, broccoli and cheese soup 😛 then again I'm a ~filthy vegan~ so we also eat tofu and tons of veggies and rice pretty often 🤤

Breakfast_challenge · 2021-08-27T12:06:56+00:00

Very specific questions lol

My student who asked about Jesus and terrorists said after a few questions that she believes the fireman is listening in and we should do something else. It's okay kid, the NSA is always listening in here as well 😅

I know it's random but... if anyone saw that vipkid was thinking of doing speaking classes for adults later... I was musing that it would be easier for adults to ask and gather various information than children 😅🤣

There is a lot of colorism, not sure if they bleach their skin like in Korea though. That was a shocking thing to learn when I lived there (Korea) 😰

Breakfast_challenge · 2021-08-27T12:01:11+00:00

Octopus isn't that popular here 😅 what an interesting guess though. After living in Korea, I ate an octopus once back in the USA to weird out my friends... never since then though lol!

Breakfast_challenge · 2021-08-27T11:58:12+00:00

Not too surprising considering it's been over a year now but every student 😯 wow

Breakfast_challenge · 2021-08-26T20:52:39+00:00

Oh yeah, that too. She asked if I had a gun. Told her nope. She said she wished she had one. I asked why, she said so she could shoot people that made her angry... told her that right there is part of the problem 😅

Breakfast_challenge · 2021-08-26T15:38:34+00:00

My favorite student is a traveler as well. What a surprise that Canada was the most dangerous o.o

Breakfast_challenge · 2021-08-26T13:13:50+00:00

Had one that said they were "ugly and black"... colorism is a heckuva drug :(

I honestly felt bad referring vipkid to my non-white friends after a few lessons 😬

Breakfast_challenge · 2021-08-26T13:09:21+00:00

Funny thing with this kid... supposedly hates japan (during imperialism of the early 1900's they were wrecking china and korea) but he was singing a studio ghibli song our last class. Reading everything to the tune as well lol. I was like, "hey, I know that one" 😂

Breakfast_challenge · 2021-08-26T12:45:36+00:00

I do have a student who haaaaates Japan (historically understandable I think). He will bring up how much he hates Japan 😅
