Just need to vent

I’m an ES alt on JET.

I was a teacher at an international school in Taiwan before this. Took the job to get my foot in the door of Japan.

I’m honestly really unfulfilled as an alt and struggle to at how anyone could like this job.

My fellow co-teachers don’t really do any best practices. Can’t explain the purpose of different activities. And either use me as a human voice box or just a warm body in the class.

No wonder Japanese people can’t speak English. They’re not being taught English.

Anyone else have similar frustrations? How did you get past them?
