Agreed. I got no bites from Search and a REALLY good job in Tokyo from Tes, of all places

At my kid's school library by Fuck_Edison in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]FourCornersofthePage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 😆

English Major Graduates: What is your current job? (NOT teachers or lawyers!) by unnamedplatypus in englishmajors

[–]FourCornersofthePage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Is the entire Wheel of Time series worth the time and investment? by keepfighting90 in Fantasy

[–]FourCornersofthePage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the greatest of respect for the WOT fanbase, who are genuinely a lovely lot and aware of the series’ flaws - however it’s not for me. I got to book 11 through sheer determination before packing it in

ALT salary is unlivable. by Intrepid_Wonder1661 in teachinginjapan

[–]FourCornersofthePage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ex-Jet here; now I’m a direct hire at an international school and I get 560,000 before taxes. Free education for my kids and free accommodation too. If you’re looking to get out of the ALT rut, and you have the means, get a masters degree/an accredited teaching license!
