Hi Sora,

I would like to say, it is good if you are looking at taking a course to gain knowledge and better yourself.

If you are working at an English Medium school teaching children in English I would suggest taking a serious English course as from your post your written English is very poor.

I would not go asking for a salary raise until you are up to scratch yourself. It is not fair on your students to have to suffer due to your lack of knowledge.

Neither is it appropriate for the school you are working for to employ you cheaply and expect you to learn on the job using money as an incentive.

The only ones losing out are the poor students who are screwed by both the school and the teacher.

Please take this post in the spirit it is intended because it is meant as constructive criticism.

I guess I am just really tired of unqualified people teaching. I don't think its too much to ask a university lecturer to know that there is in fact a difference between the words COMMITTEE and COMMUNITY! Rant over.

Best of luck with whatever you decide to do, please don't shortchange your students.
