Jesus Christ, what kind of school were you at? I went to a public secondary school in Ireland too, it was nothing like that O.o

Huh. Yanki are really nice to me. Maybe it’s because I like studying crime and delinquency, but whenever I meet yanki, we talk about guns and tattoos.

I’m in the same boat. Teaching ESL in Texas. Don’t even get me started. If my contract wasn’t until the end of May, I’d consider flying to Japan during the April hiring season.

This is extremely true after working in the southern US as a specialist teacher. The only problem here in the US especially in TN is how we’re evaluated to death as teachers. I have five evaluations I have to have done on me and if 99.9% of the students aren’t engaged then we’re scored ridiculously low. I also have to submit a portfolio of work to my content area before the end of the April which is added onto my scores.

Me too! English schools can get crazy! there were kids in my classes that would throw themselves at walls/doors just for a laugh, and disrupt classes for the attention it gave them. My better teachers found reward systems like sweets for hard work/ being quiet in class to work quite well as a deterrent to bad behaviour
