Work / Language Teachers - do you feel respected in Poland? [86]
I would say that generally, teaching English in Poland, is not well respected. To speculate I would add that the reasons for this are 1) relatively higher wages compared with other occupations and 2) the perception that it is an "easy" job.
As an English teacher this has lead to unpaid wages, late payment of wages and dodgy contracts. Surely, this has a lot to do with bad luck and not just due to the profession's reputation.
It is ok now, but it sure was a steep learning curve. :-)
The key, I guess, is to accept what you can't change.
