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!  |
