cute

I really like it, and I've pretty much only seen positive discussion about it in threads. Hell, I learned about it on /a/, and they weren't even trashing it.

Started reading it because of pissing off Aaron Diaz, stayed for the weird rice monster mascot guy with the nose mouth.

Extremely cute. It's neat to see someone's experiences in a smaller town in Japan since it seems most Americans focus on Tokyo and its big-city weirdness.
>>
>>77809693
That's the joke.
>>77809783
She made that.
Diaz bitched at her for being passive agressive.
She then called him on the fact she didn't name him, or even imply him in anyway so basically he outed himself on being guilty of everything in that comic.
Everyone then jumped on him for being a douche.

She's not really a fully qualified teacher, more like an aide in a coteaching setting it seems like to me.

I think if you have to draw yourself cute you're probably not very cute
>>
>>77813046
She's really just there so that kids get used to hearing how English sounds when spoken by Americans. Otherwise they'd probably have trouble understanding English if they only used to listening for Engrish. She could just sit in front of the class rambling about video games for an hour and still be doing what she's paid to do. The actual teaching is more of a formality.
>>

She's a funny talented artist and now literal rocket scientist.

I spent five years learning how to become a teacher so I could get a job and live up to the very high standards of education we have here. I spend up to ten hours every day preparing so that I can give my pupils the best possible learning experience, and my native language is not English.

This weeaboo goes to Japan and can't even manage to teach middle schoolers the difference between morning, midday and night, nor does it seem likely that she has any peers reviewing her work and teaching methods or holding her to any standards whatsoever. Despite this she probably still gets paid better than I do.

If you're an ALT in a elementary school you don't always teach with a teacher - it's mostly just play time in English.

Which is the job I wanted.

Not highschool.

ES, JHS, and SHS are all a little different, with some overlap - but even then you get variance.

At one school:

I have fairly free reign in my first year classes, and significant input on my second year. Third year classes use me as a thesaurus and grammar dictionary.

That said, there's still pressure to make your classes grammar oriented as to prepare the students for the center tests in their third year. I have largely worked to side-step this measure as teaching grammar academically in a students L2 is stupid. So most of my activities are conversation oriented, usually based around a specific expression (taken from their grammar book and supplemented with sanity) and coupled with a usage example in context.

At another:

We do games and such (per the request of my co-teacher), but in a single class of 30, maybe 5 students are motivated. I do my best to help them. They're improving.

I'm JHS and seems a bit different. My school the JTs decide on everything and make most the desicions on what I and the students do in class. This usually is repeat after me exercises, walking around as they work on stuff helping them with mistakes as I see them, and doing demonstrations for activities they are to do that class with the JT. Only time I'm straight teaching/lecturing and not assisting the english teacher is culture stuff like what thanksgiving is with a presentation where they get excited about sweat potatoes with marshmellows.

Nova. But not the main one, a franchise owner using the name. Base pay of 280k, rent around 40k, with overtime usually get between 290-300k each month.

But yeah, my friends who are ALT's teach like 2 lessons a day if that working Monday to Friday, I teach 9 working Wednesday-Sunday so harder to have a social life. With no paid vacation for 6 months, and working all public holidays.

I'm saving a shitton of money, but think I'll head home before 6 months are up, Japan isn't for me.
>>
>>77818523

I have literally known at least 4 people at eikaiwas say the exact same thing disheartened by their work, decide to try ALT and immediately love Japan again and lose their depression. Just switch jobs. You can apply nowish and start in April.

>>77818538

You are probably right, but I'm ready to move on, I already have plans, thanks for the advice though.

I'm intensely studying German and plan to move there next, perhaps to teach English, or perhaps to get a real job if I can get my language ability high enough.

Plus I quite like the Japanese staff in my branch and wouldnt want to fuck her over by leaving earlier, that said she leaves in 2 weeks so depending on how the new staff is like will affect if I can stick it out to the 6 month mark.

I have four classes I teach most days, four different subjects. That's a little over 2 hours preparation for each. Finding relevant material at the archives, making it myself where I can't find any. Borrowing the books we need (and driving to get them from the depository), making reservations for the computer labs, organizing the work-groups, not even counting the printing, hole-punching and stapling to make individual copies for between 21-30 pupils in each class, which takes forever.

Disregard this guy

Japan is very different. I'm pretty sure they are given a strict set of guidelines to follow when teaching children, with very little room for deviation. If the kids don't learn anything it can hardly be considered her fault. She's just a cog.

That's not too different from American high school language classes, I mean most kids just remember enough to pass the tests and then forget all of it when they don't need it any more. I can't name anyone I know who can remember much other than "my name is" from their foreign language classes.

I think anon is saying it's irrelevant since Diaz is shit on for being shitty, whereas Mary is shit on despite not being shitty.
Though really she's shit on because they think she draws herself cuter than she is but really she's just generically drawing herself like everyone else.
Personally it could just be a case of /co/ thinking with their dicks and assuming that Cute!Mary is supposed to be attractive because they're attracted to it.

>>77809469

You're an absolute fucking idiot. Like, painful. And incredibly bitter.

Like it or not this teaching abroad system has existed for quite awhile and will continue to exist as is. It is infinitely more about interacting with a native English speaker than it is about teaching English, and these programs seem to have some support, which should maybe indicate to your socially inept ass that people who are brighter than you see some value in them.

Rather than getting pissy about other people why not focus on yourself? You are all you can change in this world, anon, so forget getting bitter about what other people do and maybe try to find a little happiness for yourself.
