Ladies and Gentlemen, The Teacher Has Left The Building...

And Thank God! Actually I finished up my last day at the Hills school yesterday - not pictured above. Hills was by far the best English teaching job I have ever had and by extension the best job I have ever had. Unfortunately, it was only part-time. Nonetheless, I am thoroughly happy to be out of the teaching racket. Although I never disliked the actual work involved, migrant farmers, sweatshop workers and prostitutes are all treated better by their employers than the overseas English teacher (with the glaring exception of the school mentioned above). I may again step into the classroom, but hopefully that day will be far in the future and in a situation where I am never again financially dependent on teaching. May the heavens curse every lousy teacher employer in Asia!!!
