    How many lessons a week to you teach?

    For me it is 30-31, this all depends on if a Mongolian teacher needs to borrow my remedial class to catch up. I do a couple of hours work on admin stuff a night at the moment as we have some sort of accreditation looming and play to sort out.
    In comparison to Thailand, it's quite a bit, I only had 16 contact hours but did have all the homeroom stuff to do.
    21 in Myanmar, but very cruisy and easy stuff.

    So, the reason for the thread is that I have been told this is a lot of hours. I'm not sure it really is, I still have enough free time to rest and enjoy myself.

    What an embarrassing typo lol
    To add to the mix there is the small matter of a Christmas Show for kindy, actually easy and no real extra effort save for caroling practice. Then there is the " ABC Play", it is a tradition in Mongolia that the kids put a big show on at the end of first grade to celebrate that they can read and write in Mongolian. Being an international school, we have to do an English version and do it early to show we are better than state schools. Now that requires quite a bit of extra time devoted to it as it is taken very very seriously- at the expense of actual lessons, naturally!

    Only 13 hours per week, but as a department head I also have at least 3 meetings per week ( ) and spend a fair amount of time teaching new teachers how to write exams & lesson plans, how to manage the kids (keep your hands to yourself... you are not their friend... the classroom is not a democracy - it is a dictatorship and you must be the dictator, etc.) and so forth.

    I teach Science and have established an uneasy truce with the two Creationists at my school - they don't mention their beliefs in the classroom and I don't criticize their medieval fallacies in public.

    Signing a new contract (old Saudi stomping grounds) in January for Feb./Mar. start.

    They're trying to get me back for test-quiz design/multimedia presentations & curriculum enhancement, so I'll sign for:

    All visa/residency expenditures reimbursed.
    1 Round trip Flight/yr.
    6,000 usd/mo.
    3- 3.5 mos paid vaca/yr.
    Full health insurance.
    No more than 10 contact hours a week.


    Gone are the chances (at this locale) for:

    Compound digs
    Free wheels/gas
    Fica

    Jeez, Dill, if you aspire to be Cyrille, you'd better up your game. Mind you, the silly duffer redded me this morning also with an incorrect "correction", so maybe you're on track

    12 hours a week, but just switched from teaching Uni to teaching P1-6. The kids exhaust me! It is a nice change of pace though, beautiful country school with small classes and only 250 students in total.

    Starting to look like my timetable is a shade excessive. I have to admit, my teaching in Myanmar was of a higher quality on account of better-behaved students and not being burnt out

    I suspect that Dilly knew the word he was trying to say - satire is his thing.

    That 6k in Saudi isn't a job I'd take (got offered similar 6 months ago on a BAE/Saudi Airforce job, but fuked if I wanna go to Saudi for under $8k per month, which is very hard to get there nowadays, and even then I don't wanna be in the Middle East, especially not Saudi).

    I'm currently teaching 9 hours a week at a uni, but I have some admin stuff to be getting on with aswellas some research. Hope to be moving from Korea (5 years is enough) to a similar job in Japan this March - just in time for the rugby world cup...
