Job Thing
A couple of weeks ago I was invited for a job interview at one
language school that mainly deals with teaching people at
government institutions. Last week I went to observe a lesson
and ws meant to give a demo one. I bolted.
The main reason I thought I’d give it a chance was
a work contract with social security. The very pay was low
indeed for 40 hours of work per week (22 lesson hours).
The person who was kind of a DoS at that place was
rather unwelcoming and a know-all smart you know what.
She was SO self-important! The lesson itself was a pitty
attempt to teach Intermediate students phrasal verbs using
Advanced Headway. There were five students in that group and
the lesson was 90min long, 30min of which they spent doing
tearful attempts of speaking about the Olympics.
I’d rather make the same money they offer with my private students
teaching them the material they are capable of doing.
I’m already pulling together a timetable for September.

It’s a tough one- throw away all your principles for health insurance or a regular wage? Never done it yet, but if I ever have kids who knows…

Or a bank loan…or a hire-purchase….or a pension scheme….or a lease…freelancers may go to hell! That’s so sad.
