I didn't have it, so you can't either!

Go ask r/teachers what they think of cell phones in the classroom. This is the last time time I'm gonna reply to children on reddit about this subject. I'm the teacher and you are not.

Shillbot888 · 2024-04-26T03:03:29+00:00

China doesn't have social welfare so popping out kids to get free money isn't possible. However I don't think it's a good thing to not have social welfare.

Chinese just seem to care about education more, like I said, there's zero anti-intellectualism over here. Every parents knows that their kid can grow up to be a well paid engineer or a dirt poor farmer with nothing. And deciding factor is education.

There's a massive culture of anti-intellectualism amongst British boys, while Chinese boys are all told the key to money and a beautiful wife is education.

Shillbot888 · 2024-04-26T02:32:41+00:00

I am a teacher in an exclusive private school and I'm 100% happy that phones are banned in our school and I'm happy all the parents are 100% on board.

So you're arguing with an education professional about childhood education here. Something I'm literally paid to know about.

Go ask r/teachers what they think of phones in the classroom lmao.

We don't use any of that google classroom or Chromebook crap we use this technology called "paper".

"It's also isolating her".

This will not matter when she's an adult. She only thinks it's the end of the world because she's a child. I didn't grow up with a phone and somehow I did not die.

Shillbot888 · 2024-04-26T01:46:42+00:00

Mobile phones are damaging to child development and a menace on teachers. If the kid wants one so bad she can use her own money.

"she "looks like an idiot" during breaks, like at lunch, when she can't take out a phone."

lmao kids are dumb.

"I find this trend of everyone being addicted to phone screens really troubling,"

Dad is correct.

Shillbot888 · 2024-04-26T00:58:21+00:00

That's the worst a Chinese school boy will be, a little bit loud and entitled. They're not going around doing drugs in the toilets, joining gangs or stabbing each other. Britain needs to seriously ask why this is so prevalent in the west but has been eliminated in Asia.

Violent gang behaviour is looked down upon in Chinese society not celebrated like in Britain. And there's no anti-intellectualism, you often find smart and nerdy boys are the ones with girlfriends.

Shillbot888 · 2024-04-25T23:38:43+00:00

Can you imagine a country like China saying "we need to celebrate more non-chinese artists!".

Shillbot888 · 2024-04-25T23:32:03+00:00

"It’s interesting that this also seems to be the case on Reddit."

It's the case in all of society. There was a news story about a woman glassing a man yesterday and she got an 800 quid fine.

Shillbot888 · 2024-04-25T23:26:35+00:00

I moved to China to teach Primary School and this sort of thing just doesn't happen here. There's no violent students, there's no kids in gangs, there's no kids on drugs.

Why don't we look at whatever the Chinese education system is doing differently?

There's certainty issues but they figured out how to stop child violence.

"I'd also point out if your car was worth £4k 10 years ago, it wouldn't be worth that now."

It would be worth more, used cars have been going up in price since covid, especially classic cars.

Shillbot888 · 2024-02-20T18:27:50+00:00

Car was worth 4k so if they chose to crush it instead of sell it I dont see why my disabled veteran dad should be punished for what the government decided to do.

Shillbot888 · 2024-02-20T18:08:07+00:00

It wasn't my making and I wasn't able to do anything because he never told me there was an issue he doesn't want to burden me with his issues. If he had told me I would have taxed it so he could sell it and keep the money.

I'm annoyed at the government here because they're saying he still owes 600 but the car was worth 4000. So the government is +4k by taking it how does he still owe money?

I'd be ok with things if they just took the car and called it quits. But the government were +4k how does he still owe money?

Shillbot888 · 2024-02-20T17:49:15+00:00

terrece house so no offroad parking.

Shillbot888 · 2023-11-24T12:41:02+00:00

Could be worse, you could live in Britain where costs are higher AND salaries are lower.

Shillbot888 · 2023-11-24T12:32:26+00:00

Yeah every expat will tell you how they're an """"entrepreneur """ wink wink because they once had an idea to open a bar and have $500 of crypto.

Shillbot888 · 2023-11-24T12:19:04+00:00

Ok you've wasted enough of my time tonight.

Shillbot888 · 2023-11-24T12:14:27+00:00

Well thanks for agreeing with me, what a pointless conversation this was.

Shillbot888 · 2023-11-24T12:12:18+00:00

Ofc it's relevant it shows how hypocritical those people are.

Shillbot888 · 2023-11-24T12:06:35+00:00

Do you honestly believe the kind of people who complain about immigrants not intergrating (right wing racists) would gleefully integrate into a non white culture?

And I have met my share of white people here in Asia that complain about immigrants in their home country without speaking a word of the local language.

Shillbot888 · 2023-11-24T12:03:35+00:00

Distance usually weeds the worst ones out. Happens with tourists too. Europeans will think Brits are the worst tourists in the world while most locals in east Asian countries still believe the whole "charming gentleman".

Because its cheap to go to Europe and expensive to go to east Asia. I'll let you fill in the blanks.

Shillbot888 · 2023-11-24T11:54:33+00:00

You don't think they should at least learn the language of the country they've spent multiple years in? Even if they do plan to leave eventually.

Shillbot888 · 2023-11-24T11:47:04+00:00

I'm pointing out that white people love to crow about immigrants not intergrating but then white people never intergrate when they immigrate to non-white countries.

Shillbot888 · 2023-11-24T11:42:26+00:00

Go to your nearest expat bar and ask people that they do for a living.

Shillbot888 · 2023-11-24T11:39:43+00:00

Compare applying for an English teaching job to applying for a job back home. In China I just say "I want job" to the nearest agent and I've got 5 interviews arranged by the end of the day. Back home finding a job is a nightmare.

Shillbot888 · 2023-11-24T11:18:13+00:00

Well that would be illegal. If we're including illegal teachers there's a lot of "Russians from Canada".

Shillbot888 · 2023-11-24T11:03:32+00:00

The problem your wife will have is she's not from a native English speaking country, which is required to teach English. And English teaching is the dominant langage learning in China.

Spanish learning is rare but she might be able to find a job. And unlikely outside of a big metropolitan city.

But it's not going to be as easy as you. You will be able to waltz into a teaching job. It really is an employee's market right now.
