We work hard nurturing the worlds young people, looking for their talents and developing and nurturing them. We also spend hours of non contact time in preparation, marking, meetings and yes, just thinking about what we are doing (evaluation) and what we could do to encourage our charges to develop.
Anyway, I have just been on the Times Ed jobs site and found this:
Postgraduate/graduate level: well that means that you have already studied for at least 3-5 years (loans, student jobs etc).
The candidate should be fluent in English - well if you are not a native speaker this doesn't come at the wave of a magic wand.
Levels: basic to advanced: so you have to deal with child and adult beginners to almost fluent speakers, hey, how much experience do you have to have had to do that?
Then you see the salary! Whenever they start Accommodation, Food ... that means that you are going to be working for nothing or peanuts. You are going to do this because you are 22 and you want to see the world. How do you have any experience to really do what they want?
There are places, NOT FRANCE, where teachers are respected, where wisdom and knowledge and qualifications are respected: A friend of mine worked in Japan for 2 years and managed to save £10,000. She then came to France where in 10 years she has had to spend ALL this money and can make enough to survive!!
When will the world and TEACHERS realise that we need to get together and to be paid a real salary for what we do. I am not talking silly money but enough money to pay our way and to have a little left over????
TEACHERS OF THE WORLD - UNITE!!!!!!
