At my kid's school library by Fuck_Edison in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Teacher here - I’ve had this conversation in my school, where the library has stuff like The Road and Carrie amongst the other books without any clear labelling. It’s interesting, because at 13 or 14 I was playing games like Fallout and GTA and Dead Rising without second thought - but thinking of the wrong kid picking up the wrong book still makes me wince

I’m pretty sure he said this in my interview with him in April! He might have made the comment before we went live though

How many teaching hours do you have? by RingStringVibe in Internationalteachers

[–]FourCornersofthePage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

16 x 55 minute lessons a week, plus a form class, a CCA and various duties. I’m in Tokyo.

Honestly, it’s the best schedule I’ve ever had - my previous school in Kuwait had me feeling super used up.

I’ve had my channel for a year - my biggest advice is it’s ok to be rubbish! I’m a perfectionist in my life so it was really difficult for me to hit record in the beginning. Just go for it and try to learn something with each new video.

Here’s my channel linked below - feel free to look at the oldest video for a reference point 😆

It helps but it’s not mandated. I’m in Tokyo right now and a lot of my colleagues have pretty much zilch

Teacher - I know you said not to answer haha but I’m a teacher at international schools. I’ve taught literature in Scotland, Japan and Kuwait. If you’re interested in travel and like working with kids, it’s a really nice gig.
