I've recently changed jobs twice in the last 5 months. Since I meant for this blog to be about teaching in Japan, I didn't feel it appropriate to continue writing when I was no longer working as an ALT....plus the people at my new school all know how to speak English...making it rather compromising to write about it.
BUT! I QUIT that job and now feel like I can write freely about my experiences teaching preschool in Japan!
The school where I worked was beautiful. The teachers were all ridiculously good looking, the rooms all looked like pottery barn ads and even the parents were glamorous. The kids from 5 year olds down to the 12 month olds dressed in Prada, Gucci, and Chanel. You know someone has an excessive amount of cash when they only dress their child in Chanel. Some of the parents dropped their kids off in Aston Martins, or left it to the chauffeur, or in one girl's case, the bodyguard to get their child there in the morning.
Needless to say, it was a 180 from my last job. I was meeting parents who were heads of major Japanese companies, dignitaries, diamond dealers, and even famous musicians. And at first, it seemed to be the best job anyone could have ever asked for! I came in bounding with optimism...which makes one wonder, why the heck then did I quit?
