Hi all,
Back to the board after a long absence...but finally back in Japan again. After having recently completed several interviews, I have a couple of options for the coming school year at private junior and senior high schools, both with seemingly strong English programs.
My question goes to those of you who have taught in both HS and JHS situations. Which do you prefer, and why? What are the advantages and disadvanages to each? I can think of the obvious age-related behavior issues, but I'm also interested in other issues such as curriculum and teacher autonomy.
BTW, I am not referring to ALT positions, but rather people who are teaching full time at one location as the sole classroom teacher.
I know you're out there! Thanks for your help, all. You will be helping me make a big decision.
