Message: <blockquote data-quote="kinjo" data-source="post: 23499" data-attributes="member: 27">One of the reasons that the big chain schools look for young teachers is that sadly many of them treat teachers very badly.  An older, more experienced professional would not be willing to work under the conditions that a young inexperienced person will.  Many of the teachers in English schools are recent graduates and this is perhaps their first real job, so they don't know any better, and have nothing to fall back on if they want to quit.I have many friends from the UK and the US who are English teachers, and some of the stories they tell me are quite frightening.  My advice would be to look around some of the language teaching websites and try to apply directly to smaller privately owned schools.  I think they would jump at the chance of employing an older experienced teacher.Tiger</blockquote>
