Dealing with dull, robot-like minds can be tedious and, well, dull. In kindergarten, kids haven’t had their minds ruined by rote learning yet. > 3. Some people enjoy singing songs and playing games. I suppose there are those people but given the lower pay, the fact that it’s illegal and that you risk being caught, possibly fined, jailed and or deported, why take that risk. ---

Reasons why people teach kindy a) they want to work a 9-5 job instead of a 2-9pm job b) they really like working with 3-5 yr olds vs older students - don’t dismiss the skill needed or the value added of a good early childhood teacher. c) they want to rack up more hours than an evening buxiban can offer and like to work mornings and evenings d) they don’t the extra HW and test grading that most buxibans require e) some kindys do in fact pay \>600/hr I subbed at a kindy once years ago and it was an excruciating 2 hours. I just do not like that age group as a teacher and singing and dancing are almost singlehandedly my least favorite activities to do. I wouldn’t work in a kindy if they were paying me \>1000/hr. ---

I love teaching 3 year olds. It’s infinitely more stimulating and emotionally rewarding than teaching university aged kids. But there’s no money in it, nor a work permit, in Taiwan, and I’m not really qualified so I don’t like to teach anywhere I wouldn’t put my own hypothetical kids. Got raided lots of times when I kindied for a few months. I was just lucky. I also hid from the kindy police when I was working for Shane in a semi-legal school. ---

I definitely get paid more than 600 an hour at kindy 🙂 I work there so I can do kindy in the morning and buxiban in the afternoon evening. I much prefer both of those, to teaching large classes in elementary/high schools. Also, it’s hourly pay, so I’m free in my free time, and can make well over 100K when my hours are stacked up nicely. Not many ‘full-time’ jobs where you can do that. ---

Brits don’t need to leave after a working holiday visa anymore. My mate sorted it out so it’s reciprocal. ---

Awesome breakdown of issue! You say ‘People who report any of them (illegal worker, illegal employer, or illegal agent) can receive rewards.’ I stopped working at a Happy Marian 補習班 recently because of how awful the teachers and staff were. Could I really report them without myself getting in big trouble? ---

If illegal activity is going on, then you should be able to report them. I know that many cram schools report on each other as a way to undermine their competitors. I worked at one place and there was a constant battle going on. Each side was reporting the other for various violations and the owners were always flipping out when this happened. ---

They will more likely investigate if you give them concrete clues or evidence. But foreigners who are found to have worked there illegally might also get in trouble and possibly get deported. If your work was legal, then you can’t get in trouble. The tipster remains anonymous. ---

Great question! But sorry, I don’t do questions anymore. My only advice is to ask the God-Emperor. @discobot fortune ---
