Hmmm....There seem to be lots of different experiences and perceptions out there, regarding the school experience! I'm wondering if it partly depends on the age-level of the students you're each working with (?), or the income level of the families (?) How young can students be in the ILA anyway? And is it expensive for their families (and consequently geared to middle-class or higher)? Are there pre-schoolers?
I guess I'm getting away from the original topic (age factor); but it's possible an administration could have different 'qualification requirements' (including age or 'marketability') for different ages of students (or, do you suppose it's irrelevant?)
Thanks again for all the feedback, diverse as it is!! |

I answerd that on page 1 but age is not a factor as long as you are under 60. As for all Viet students being wonderful my experience is that it is very similar to what you would find in the USA. Adults and older teens are usually very good, tweens 11 to 15 are a pain in the butt (especially the girls unless you are young and look like Tom Cruise). Younger kids vary tremendously. Their attention spans are also age dependent, same as in the West |

Is age a factor for working papers if you are over 60? Say, 62? With lots of experience teaching at unis in Asia and The Middle East? And advanced degrees? |

No because the classes are constantly changing. I'm 43 and have taught all ages from the 4 year olds to adults older than me. I don't teach kiddies anymore but if you go to a 'language centre' you will teach all ages. |
