wow, sounds like a huge place *_*

It's comments like that which makes most other foreign English teachers want to reach out and hit their local jet teachers. Why they feel they are more special than anybody else is beyond me. Yes I know they are treated like kings and queens upon their arrival. They work limited hours, get long vacations, and still have the gall to complain.
How many other people could come to Japan, get an apartment but complain about it, and have someone offer them some huge place rent free. Where you ask, only in Japan, and only for a Jet.
Now don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the program, its just guys like him, who feel they are Gods gift to language teaching. Get a life!

I volunteer at my daughter's elementary school, even though I really don't have a lot of free time. The reason I was asked to was the school cannot get the resident jet teacher to come to the school. Now from what I've been told, he is not that busy, but there it is such a hassle for the school, and there is a communication barrier, that the school prefers me. Now I don't mind, since its my daughter's school, and I hope that in some way my contribution will help. But what burns me a little is that there is someone getting paid for the job, but they don't do it.
I commend this guy in Niigata for doing a good job and volunteering, but he is not the only one doing there part.

That's wack y0. I sure as hell wouldn't be complainin if I was with JET

I thought this was a conversation about ALT's. How it spirraled down to a name calling attack I can't understand.
I agree with you, maybe the comment was taken out of context, but from the other JETs I have met, most of them feel that way. That they are the be all and end all to English teaching.

The reason english teachers moan so much is the old "east meets west" battle. Japanese teaching methods are the suck. They depend on rote memory and so teachers are bound by archaic teaching methods that simply don't work. if they let the teachers really teach it would be more rewarding for the teachers and the kids would actually learn some useful english.

What could have been an awesome accomplishment (the whole JET program) turned into just another sucky high-school foreign language waste of time. I mean how much French did you really learn in high-school?

Gai, before you dare "speak" for me, at least, GET A CLUE

[American Oyaji]

Gai,
Why do you call people names? You claim to speak for everyone (which you most obviously DONT) and get offended when someone disagrees.

Chill the fuck out.

Or go get laid.

Matter of fact...do BOTH, then drink some alcohol, smoke a cigarette and go to bed.

Then come back and dont be such an ass.

[American Oyaji]

Not from Chicago.

As far as worrying about you.

I dont like it when people have nothing nice to say. And its not even that fact. If your posts were liquid, they would be vinegar diarrhea.

Post something other than a rant, a diatribe or a bitch.

Post something funny.

Or are you unable to? Life is more than taking the piss out of people. Its about laughter and joy.

You've shared your anger with us. Thanks.
What else do you have to offer?
