@Danny K It could be sometimes. You can see kids misbehaving in the video and some were being good too.

@anming I taught myself adults in Shanghai, and I thought life there was haaaard. I can't imagine having to teach kids in other cities. I don't know, maybe it's more relaxed elsewhere.

@Danny K What a coincidence. I go to Fudan University in Shanghai. I’m a student now, not a teacher. It was too hard for me to keep teaching. It takes too much energy.

@anming fudan is expensive. I couldn't afford to go there from a teacher's salary.

Love your videos! Your experience echos my girlfriend’s quite a bit. She was a 7th grade Spanish teacher and loved teaching but the the classroom management/discipline was too stressful. You guys even look the same haha. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

@Anthony あんそ That’s cool. A teacher’s job is much harder than I ever expected. We should give teachers more credit.

@anming Ive always felt that teachers/nurses/cops are more or less the same job. Harsher then normal customer service + a lot of stress for low pay. I agree, teachers need more credit.
