Duh.
Teaching adults what? Is it volunteering or salaried? Is it one-on-one or class-based?
But I guess the more opaque your OP, the more questions people will ask, and thus the more responses you'll have to give -- thereby increasing your already astronomical posting rate.
Why don't you simply explain what you've heard about the job? Then people can supply any missing elements. |

| Unlike the "Bad Sun," I have a real job. But I surely have the time to take him on as I took on mick and thrif. This guy seems to be a lot easier. |

Henry I am very easy going.
I was told that someone is teaching adults in a publibrary for the Government. That is all I know. I am in the dark about this.
There is nothing "to take on."
I have no idea who mick or thrif are/were and do not care. |

If it's in your town/city, ask at a public library. If it's in your province, ask at a public library. Somebody might have some information for you. Sounds easy enough to me. |

Henry you obviously have not done this or are not doing it. Soemone who is doing it would know exactly what it is.

That was probably a good decision. I was fortunate enough to read pre-edit. |

Golly gee whiz, now why didn't I think of that? I guess I am just sooooo stupid. Thank you sooooo much Henry for such a brilliant suggestion.
Maybe I did not ask my local librarian because:
a. There is no local library
B. This is not happening in my community
c. I was asking for someone with personal experience to relate their experience
d. Even if I had a local librarian he/she would speak Chinese so I would need an interpreter and I would learn what? Personal teaching experience? NO!
But Henry, thanks for your brilliant suggestion. Any time I need to know anything I will just PM you and ask how I should formulate my question.
By for now Henry but stay in touch, you hear? |
