Need Teachers for Private School

Well today i found out that 2 of our current teachers are not going to renew their contracts. I think that they have finally had enough of all the rubbish that goes on behind the scenes. If you are like me you can let this not effect you and simply do the job you have to do and forget about the rest of the things happening/or not happening around you, then you will be fine. I have come to learn now if I am told 5 minutes before a class is about to start that your class has been cancelled as the students are going to do some ridiculous rehearsals because some important people are coming in 2 weeks to visit the school or every afternoon the students are going to practice their cheering for sports day in 2 weeks time. I just go no problem, no worries.

It is a shame but that is the attitude you need to survive being a teacher at any school in Thailand, if you cannot do that you will drive yourself insane and will end up with grey hair early (if not already). I did it to myself for the first 6 months and then with some help of my colleague of 5 years experience I came to understand the system and I am fine with it now. Yes, I still get frustrated sometimes but now I know when it is worth trying to get something changed or done as it is a 50% chance of happening and when there is something that isn't worth mentioning as you could light a fire and jump up and down and no one would take any notice or do anything about it.

It is a great job teaching Thai kids the majority of them are really nice (it's like this in every country not just Thailand). There are some really crazy things that go on but if you take it with a grain of salt or as the saying goes "water off a ducks back" then teaching could be a great job for you. You need a degree of some kind it doesn't have to be English involved or if you have previous experience from somewhere this also helps. Ubon is a great place, clean fresh air, country side all around, great friendly Isan people, fantastic food and cheap cheap cheap.

The pay starts at 29,000 baht a month plus extras (extra class teaching) and there is always private tuition as well. You can make a very good living up here and he lifestyle is great. I love the Far North East of Thailand.
