Teachers

I work for a junior high school as an assistant English teacher.

I called a friend last night who works for a high school as a full time English teacher.

“How many percentage does teaching English occupy out of your whole job?” I asked.

He said “20%.”

The other 80% occupies paper works and some other tasks.

He also said “ideally, 80% of my work should be used for preparing classes, but I can’t.”

This is the biggest problem in Japanese school.

Teachers don’t have room to study for themselves and to prepare for classes.

I heard from some teachers that their English abilities were the highest when they graduated from the university.
