Hi there,
I am arriving from the UK very soon to teach 7th grade in a bilingual school - I can't wait!
However, people that I have spoken to have told me that teachers are not very well respected - one example given is that if a pupil drops their pencil on the floor they expect the teacher to pick it up for them!
I find this amazing! Is it the case that teachers are treated like this? If so, I think I need to prepare myself... I don't want to start off on the wrong foot!
Thanks for you reply if anyone has first hand experience,
Jessi
