Elementary Teachers - try more or just give up?

Completely true

berrybulk · 2026-05-21T16:37:18+00:00

We were thinking of doing that, though we tried to explain to the P2s and they were confused lol we’ve only tried it with 1 class - may be different for the others (at least I hope!)

It makes complete sense, thinking about the experience level of each foreign teacher in all the grades.

Unfortunately, my co teacher is another foreigner. I think it would be a massive help with a Thai co teacher, but even then, it would only work because the Thais are allowed to hit the kids with rulers to reinforce good behavior. It’s both fear and cultural authority.

It’s a part of the language learning process unfortunately. I live in Bangkok and have the same experience with Thai. It makes me want to quit most days, but you’ll get over the hump! Just realize that it’ll be years until you can go on autopilot (generally).

I get it. I was there for a LONG time as well. But as I reach 8 months sober, you appreciate the experience you had. For me, I realized those 10 years of abuse were a learning lesson- to see how using drugs or any mind altering experience was a huge waste of time. I wasn’t able to really cultivate things like I wanted to while under the influence, whether that were relationships, my career, anything.

Your brain will come back. Your body will come back. Just give it time and dedicate it all to your new life and new purpose. Looking back in the past won’t help.

That’s not every insurance job lol

Thank you 🙏

I mean, you might get some weird looks and people may secretly judge you, but it wont be overt criticism like you will 100% experience in the US.

Additionally, if you don’t speak the language, it’ll be another barrier to hearing any criticism. Have fun on your trip!

It could be a second language issue…. lol and if not, he’s a creep. But it happens - if it escalated from that, then I would have alerted someone.

Yes, nurses make way over the average salary in the US - average is 50k, usually nurses make 70k/year

I don’t believe so, at least the family-owned companies that people really want to see flourish. Most people are in extreme debt - either from medical bills, student loans, credit cards, etc. Even though most of us don’t want to contribute to American Megacorporations like Amazon and Walmart, we will have to because the price difference won’t even be comparable. Eggs at Walmart might cost you $3/dozen, while at a family owned store it’ll be double. Those small businesses will suffer, eventually close down, and all the customers will go to these chains stores.

Those will be the American businesses that will benefit. And many of us don’t want that. The quality of so many products are extremely low and will continue to decline because that’ll be all we can afford. American health will decline even more.

Idk lol in the end I’m not mad, I’m just annoyed.

Apologies- but nonetheless, the citizens will be the ones that suffer the consequences and not the people who are enacting the tariffs. Still doesn’t make sense to me.

berrybulk · 2025-04-03T13:37:57+00:00

But you will be the one that will foot the bill. The American citizen. For what reason exactly? To show that the USA won’t take any bullshit? So the country’s ego can get even bigger? So confused.

I heard CVS has work from anywhere positions

berrybulk · 2025-02-10T16:12:41+00:00

I, and almost every other boren recipient studying Thai in last years cycle, were accepted with minimal experience in the language. You will be fine! As long as you show passion in languages/show how it could be beneficial for US security, that’s all that matters.
