one huge difference with the lower grades in ES is that they WANT to learn.
This is a huge difference to JHS and HS (for the most part)
There is nothing worse than trying to teach kids that just don't want to learn, at the earlier grades they are so eager to learn, its dead easy and fun
but yes, from time to time you do need a little more energy, but saves the bill at the gym! LOL
and as I said, you will do more 5th and 6th graders anyway

what in the hell is an eikawa? Please

The word eikaiwa actually means English conversation. Many people use it that way, but many also use it as a shorthand for English conversation school (like GEOS, AEON, Berlitz, etc.).

I was luckiy to have had a positive experience as an ALT. But I had friends who didn't so it really comes down to the school, the co-teachers and your attitude....
