@John ******

private schools in many countries don’t require a degree. They look at other qualifications. I know someone who has bern teaching for many years and is far more skilled than someone walking out of school with a piece of paper.

Degrees aren’t everything and often don’t actually define one’s skills. After a career in another field, although it also required a great deal of teaching, I taught kids for several years. I don’t have a teaching certificate. I’m not currently looking to teach in Thailand and I haven’t even decided for certain if I will stay. Many countries would allow me to teach without a teaching certificate though. There’s nothing magical about a piece of paper. It’s one assessment of one’s skills, not the only one.

I have never taken a language course (and I’ve learned five) where one walks in the door and all they speak is that language. 🤣🤣🤣

@Pat ****

I wasn’t mad. I was honestly curious.

@Pat ****

why do you ask?

@Lyndon ***********

and what part of “that’s what immigration forms call me…there’s no such thing as United Statesian” led you to believe I could be from Brazil thus making you worried you might provide the wrong information (not that you’ve actually provided any)?

@Lyndon ***********

and a Brazilian is a Brazilian. If a Brazilian said they were “American” on an immigration form, their exemption status would be the least of their problems.

@Brandon ***********

that, I know. Thx

@James ********

I’m an American. I need to rise above plenty of my own. I don’t feel a need to rise above ignorance. That’s just me.

should copies be color or b&w?

@Kool ******

yeah, it looks like a 2-hour ride.
