5\u00a0Tips for Teachers Abroad<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI would have parents who helped their children with their homework and who were eager to communicate with me \u2013 but in a good way! To boot, Taiwan is a country where education and, by extension, teachers are\u00a0well-respected and highly valued<\/a>! \u00a0I expected this whole thing to be a cakewalk.<\/p>\n

I also expected that compared to East Harlem the kids would be angels, whereas what I got, instead, were kids. \u00a0And instead of a cakewalk I got an experience that was challenging and rewarding in ways I never expected\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

I think this is a common misconception about working with ‘privileged’ international school students versus working with the kids of generational poverty families that you may have worked with in your home country (many of us I’m sure have had a similar experience teaching in urban settings).<\/i><\/p>\n

Sure the poor kids you taught in your home country had many needs. \u00a0They also might have had many behavior problems because of the poverty they were living in. \u00a0Teaching at international schools with mostly rich kids can also be a challenge. \u00a0They also have many needs, but just different ones. \u00a0And because of the sometimes challenging home lives of these children, there can also be many behavior problems at school.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Luckily, we have a comment topic in the School Information section of all school profile pages that is about student behavior. \u00a0It is called – “In general, describe the demeanor of the students.”<\/strong> \u00a0We currently have 128 separate comments (about a number of international schools) in that comment topic on our website.<\/p>\n

12 Reasons to Teach Abroad in China and Taiwan<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201c2 \u2013 Save money while you travel.<\/strong>\u00a0Japan, check. Korea, check. Bali, why not? From your base in Asia you can travel to places that would otherwise be economically challenging to reach. And, with the lower cost of living in China and Taiwan, a BGL salary will allow you to bank some cash while you see the world\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It does play a big factor on your travel plans; the location where you are currently living. \u00a0Though it is important to note that it doesn’t mean that all flights will be cheap! \u00a0Living in Shanghai, China you are for sure in Asia. \u00a0However, you are still a 5 hour flight to Bangkok, 3 hour flight to Japan, etc. \u00a0These flights aren’t the cheapest either. \u00a0But if you compare the prices and flight times to living in the United States, then for sure the flights will most likely be cheaper with quicker flight times. \u00a0Going to Bali for Christmas vacation can be just what the doctor ordered!<\/i><\/p>\n
