How many do you teach a day?

Like it?

Hate it?

I know I'm not the only person who has them in Korea.

I only have one other foreign teacher at my school, but we both don't like it.

No time to prepare, not enough attention available to give to each class (12 classes a day, plus overtime- at some points we had up to 15 a day!! Thank god thats over!!) but I still don't like it.

You?

I teach 15 & 20 minute classes. Can you beat that?

For my main employer, I teach a 20 min class after the K teacher has had her 20 mins. Then we swap again.

I do that 5 - 6 times a day. Ah, it's a hard life. Laughing

Well, you wouldn't have to worry about planning too many different activities in one lesson, that's for sure!

Would think that would be really easy.

I have no experience with it. 15 would be too many a day, but 10 to 12 sounds like a dream job. It seems like you would have the students attention and a lot of great lessons / activities fit right into that time frame.

Can you expand OP? What is the troubling part about it?

I have 25 minute classes, and I like them that way. I told some foreigners yesterday, and they said, "What, is it for kids with ADD?" No, more like for teachers with ADD. What was the question?
