2/3 year olds can be taught songs, ABC's, basic animal words, and so on. Not that much of an issue for someone properly educated!! I would only cringe at 30 of them. Whatever this job actually is, it's a foreigner's face class.

And, I don't buy the 10 hours a week for 10,000 RMB

What's not to buy?

Math 101:

====================================

10,000 RMB a month.

30 kids per class.

10 hours a week.

4 weeks a month.

40 hours for 10,000?

4 hours for 1,000?

1 hour for 250?

Each kid is paying ,say, 20 RMB a class.

School makes 600 RMB for the 250 RMB than you earn.

Plus the money they can make off of books and the prestige in having a foreign teacher.
===============================================

What's not to buy?

I buy it.

anyone who has ever dealt with kids that age (20-30 of them no less!) they will know how difficult it is. that money, 10 hours or not, will be well earned.

Seems to me they could increase the number of classes and decrease class sizes as the teacher is supposed to be there from 8 to 430 anyway. Doubt I could handle that many kids that young, or maybe for 20-30 minutes at a time with a co-teacher?

My guess is not too many "laowai" are properly educated in teaching in this "non-issue" style when most or none of their youthful charges don't speak a lick of English! But if you want the job, go ahead . . . with my blessings! Laughing
