I`m an ESL/EFL teacher **blush**. I`ve talked to a couple of public school teachers who have experienced this before, but not in depth. It`s the stigma of it that worries me with teaching children, particularly where I`m living in Japan. I stopped working (luckily, I was teaching at an "afterschool-school"), so I had more flexibility in making my decision quickly. I`m interested in going back to the public schools; the opportunities are there, especially for a native-speaker teacher in this part of the world, it`s a matter of what I make of it and what I will settle for. I feel like my life has a "to be continued" mark stamped on it right now, seeing as dealing with the adults seems to be my biggest challenge! I`m thinking about volunteering at a library to read to children for now and see how that goes.
What are your plans for right now?
