Just wondering if anyone has been to Wuhan?
This school I'm talking to is just outside there, Xiaogan.
Haven't got to the contract stage yet. An Aussie guy who I used to
work with in Wuxi put me in touch with a Chinese English teacher at this school,
and she's been chatting to me over the last couple of nights.
Tonight she told me that they have 4000 students there, with class-sizes between
60-75....! Yeah, ok, my experience has been,(apart from a TC with very small
numbers per class) - a public college in Anhui -
45 per class; a primary school in Jiangsu - 40 small kids per class.
These were manageable, but 75 high-schoolers, sounds a little daunting.
(Well, of course I know I'd be just the dancing monkey, with this lady TA in attendance, and I'm happy to be that).
This lady-teacher wants me to live in the apartment next to hers. She is,
like me, a divorcee. Said she'd be happy to do the cooking. All well and good, however
I don't know if being her new (and compliant!) boyfriend would be outweighed by the nitty-gritty of me struggling in an overcrowded school, a bit off the beaten track.
If anyone has spent time in that locale, I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts, please?
