Lehrer in Japan arbeiten manchmal 80-Stunden-Woche und erledigen Aufgaben wie „undichte Dächer und Toilettentüren reparieren, Neuanstrich und sogar die Suche nach versteckten Kameras“.

Japanese local gov’t: We are also having issues recruiting new teachers. I’m sure it is unrelated, though. しょうがないね。
The system really is baffling. You can point to many other countries with similar success in Education and very few of them have teachers that basically live in the schools.
Im a public school teacher, and I fucking love my job, having said that…last week a student came to my desk after school and asked me to help her study for the upcoming midterms, and I had to say no, because it was the deadline for me to finish my bookkeeping, and submitting the receipts for the new rackets the badminton club had to buy
Like I get it, being part of club has a lot of good points, and I like being a part of my club, despite not udnerstanding a fucking thing about badminton
But I shouldnt be refusing to teach English (the thing they hired me for specifically) because I need to do book keeping
Searching for hidden cameras? Wtf
Teachers in most developed countries work 80 hour workweeks doing things like professional development, lesson plans, test marking and subject matter research.
🙄
Wouldn’t it be simpler to just have a quick meeting in the staff room each morning, and get the teachers who planted hidden cameras yesterday to raise their hands?
That way, whoever’s assigned to search for hidden cameras in the girls‘ toilets and changing rooms can just go straight to where they are located.
I’ll never understand why things have to be done so inefficiently.
that is like what about every japanese company does? dont think i have ever been in any japanese office where they didnt let the employees do everything.
The amount of times I’ve been given a sponge and told to clean toilets as a fully qualified and licensed teacher is far too many times. That definitely contributes to my desire to leave the profession lol
I thought they had unions.
Yeah and their pay is dog shit. My friend was getting paid ¥176000/month often working 7 days a week with sports club activities and working until night every day during his first year. Because he’s a jr.high science teacher, he doesn’t have to recreate lesson plans every year like an elementary school teacher does (because they get shuffled around to teach different grades every year) so he probably goes home a little earlier now, but .. probably doesn’t make that much of a difference. He still seems burnt out whenever I see him
Those tasks are a bit out there tbh. But it’s not uncommon for teachers to have to spend extra hours everyday doing things for their club activity, including working on the weekends. My good friend who is an English teacher and in charge of the soccer club has to work 4-5 hours every Saturday to do club related activities, plus stay behind late past his normal working hours. Kinda crazy tbh
Japan is rapidly declining into a third world country
Sounds like GTO was a documentary after all.
