However, some schools have found that female teachers are less likely to screw students, turn up drunk or not at all, etc.
And which several ads? Where are they posted? What schools do they represent? Teachers turn hoe? I think not. Get specific rather than post boosting: over 10 a day now.

I had sent in an inquiry about a job that preferred female teachers, but I had not seen that until reviewing the advert later. Regardless, they contacted me. I told them I was male, but didn't seem to matter to them. Didn't take the job, by the way.

Super Mario: Don't forget that it's also easier for employers to guilt-trip women into extra classes and to accept less than agreed upon contract terms. I know a couple of schools that prefer women because they get so much more out of the female FTs than the males - who tend to fight every inch of the way.

Cheers!

You girls are so light, you'd get blown away in the wind here. "I'm going to write a letter..." That's really scary. LOL

Just stop going to class until the matters are repaired. The toilet stuff here is of horrible quality. Metal parts just fall apart after a few months in water. That is another advantage to the squat toilet. Fewer moving parts.

Workmen, once paid, simply run away after doing their hack work. No concept of quality or the self respect that comes from doing a good job.

I made the life of my FAO and his minion absolute hell after I found out what a despicable liar and schemer he was. He might well have lost his job but for another misguided FT who decided to renew after the other FTs were leaving.

I once talked to a guy in prison for second degree murder. He was still dismayed by the stupidity of his victim. They were doing some kind of a drug deal and the guy decided to rob him. The would be robber ended up dead. Said the inmate, "He tried to rob me. I'd been in the army. What was he thinking?"

I'm not suggesting you kill your FAOs. I am suggesting that they will, in one way or another, try to rob you. Be prepared.

As for me, Lady P, I know of two schools that prefer (older) women because they are easier to guilt into extra (unpaid) duties. It was right from the admin themselves, thank you very much.
As for me (part two): I have never been late, for anything, in 20 years. I have never drank alcohol before, or during, work hours. I have had a grand total of 3 sick days in nine years.
I never have to confront my FAO about anything, seeing as how I can crack a book and fix things myself.
China is still a sexist country when in comes to administration and employment. I was merely stating a point based on my experience. I'm glad that in your experience, you've not encountered this, but it doesn't make your experience the absolute rule, either.

Cheers!

I have to agree with Sinobear. I do believe on average, women are easier to guilt into extra classes/duties.

But I have seen the male teachers see their classes as some sort of sex buffets. But at the same time as I say this, I have seen these girls as amazing flirts and leave themselves wide open to exploitation. But if I was a bloke and wanted to appear a bit professional keep it in your pants and get it elswhere.

People sure do like to generalize around here. This is an older thread, but I missed it the first go 'round.

1. Not all women are these meek, mild creatures that don't want to cause a bother. I've seen some strong female teachers - - hell, they even scared me!

2. Not all men go out drinking every night and come to work still half soused. Some of us don't even drink. Personally, I've never been late to a class - - even one where I was trapped overnight in another city and called in to warn them I may be late -- arrived 15 minutes before class began!

3. I think some advertise only for females because maybe they want them for the younger kids - - maybe a more motherly instinct. I saw one ad before asking for only male applicants due to it being an all male school (or the classes he would teach were all male, don't remember exactly).
