I had my first day today at the kindergarten I work for. I have no experience teaching kids this age, much less kids who have no comprehension of English. I’m also starting to think my personality isn’t suited for kindergarten as I’m more reserved, but wanted to put that factor aside and just give this a try. I had my first lesson today, and I feel like it was horrible. It was boring, and the kids didn’t willingly interact with me unless their Chinese teacher told them to, because they don’t know me (which I understand at that age). I’m sure many people have been in my position, so can you please share some advice? Or game ideas? Seriously! anything would help me right now.

Well .. the context is I’m currently in China, Hubei province and my salary is 14,000 rmb after tax. So far I’ve not had the full pay because I came mid August. Then for this month 2000 rmb was deducted because 1000 for rent deposit and 1000 as I took a bit of money in advance. My next full pay should be November. I don’t pay rent. But my winter is unpaid .. apparently I should be getting paid for the national holidays but as the schools closed no pay. I just want to know if anyone else has accepted such an offer or am I the only idiot ??
