Eikaiwa outsourcing us to local kindergartens...bruh
I work in an Eikaiwa; the eikaiwa is unprofitable so they started outsourcing their foreign teachers to kindergartens in the area. Holy fuck, I choose to laugh or I will cry. I am so unqualified to attempt to "teach", "babysit", "wrangle" - whatever you want to call it - these kids. When the odd kindergartener came to the eikaiwa school, it was no big deal - trying to "teach" 20 of them in a room for 40 minutes after they've had a nap is so difficult lol.
If the teacher is willing to be present and help, it's fairly enjoyable and the games and songs are completed like in some of the schools. However, at a few schools, the teachers plonk their kids in a room, disappear and these kids actually go insane - no English learning is achieved.
Yesterday, I had kids kicking me, punching me, running around and wrestling, jumping on the furniture and I'm disassociating as their teacher is just stood at the back of the room like (*_*).
Eventually, I say hey sensei, pls help me. She comes over, says: ok kids, its English time, let's listen and walked off....
I was like ok, I power through for the two kids paying attention. As I'm leaving, the encho sensei very aggressively mimics me says "pls help me" to take the piss??
Where am I? Who am I? Why am I doing this nonsense?
There is no rhyme or reason to this post except, yikes. I don't want to go in today lmao.
