Then China is the perfect place for you! I'm speaking of liking to toot your car's horn, of course. The horns can be very annoying at times, but a fellow teacher Zach has explained that he actually likes it now. He has purchased a little scooter and rides it around, and he says that most of the horns are to let you know that a car is near you and watch out! Because lane changes happen all over the place, it can be tough to keep track of where everyone is, and the horns let you know. It makes sense, and I haven't yet seen a traffic accident (although I'm sure I will). There are some drivers, though, that simply toot their horns at everything (for instance, turning a corner) or when in a traffic jam where it does absolutely no good. That is annoying! You will not see any traffic cops in China - they simply don't exist.
So here is a copy of my teaching schedule for the 1st week. I've been told that it will likely change several times, but the classes I teach shouldn't change, only the times. I won't explain exactly what each class is as they are all slightly different, but basically I have 4 AP Calculus AB/BC classes and 1 Mechanics class (it is an English course emphasizing math and physics).
I hope you have the ability to zoom in on it as it looks pretty small here...
The classes are 40 minutes each - I teach 20 classes a week for a total of 800 minutes or 13.3 hours/week.
Contrast that with North Clackamas where you'd teach 3 90 minute classes a day or 1350 minutes a week or 22.5 hours/week. Hmmm...
