#POSTBOX BE HOW TO#

Even when I started at 50 + I knew I hadn't a clue how to teach and was constantly searching for mentors and ideas. New teachers bring in a bit of freshness and positivity but I'm struck by the false pride. It seems that any moment that could be spent off campus is better so than time spent helping their students. So, there they sit.ДЄnother thing I have noticed that teachers never do is help students on their own time. They've become accustomed to the school and when they weigh a pay package at 42k compared to the 37k they've been making as long as they can remember, they decide that the effort is just not worth it. Year on year they learn nothing new then gripe about their pay. It's all about silly games, methods to waste time, nailing down a staple of activities and tired worksheets so as to place a water bottle and your school owned notebook on your desk and slip off somewhere for an hour or three or.simply head home. Professional development is not easy to come by but few have any interest. Having done this for a decade I shouldn't be but as we start the new year, I am. I'm amazed at the full grown shirkers and artless dodgers. Here, I'm discussing EFL and all schools sans true internationals. 10% care somewhat and 10% take it on as a career and profession. Paying them more than 35K per month is just money in the bin. In my opinion 80% of teachers don't care and never will. There were a lot of difficulties along the way but to be honest most of the pressure I placed on myself. Having said all that I almost went to teacher's college after university. Teaching got me out of the condo and the additional money buffeted all my cash burn.
