Not only common sense, it's in Chinese culture / gene，天地君亲师，teachers are among the top 5 to be respected (after heaven, earth, emperor, parents). While in Chicago downtown... (everyone shooting at everyone)
I am teaching in UK. From my own experience, I agree that parents in China are more supportive for teachers than the parents in UK (not sure other western countries). Also the students in China are more likely to want to learn and work hard.
@@mulanfa1292 I watched some videos about teaching in USA classroom. The learning environment and student behaviours were good in the videos I watched, even I heard a lot of gun shooting in USA schools. Well, teaching in USA is my last option anyway, I dont want to get shot while teaching a class.
It is always easy to blame the teachers when your kids are not doing well in school, and that is true for many western countries. It is always easy to blame others, and right now a big part of the western media blames China for genocide against the Islamic population, and the we in the western have killed millions of Muslims the last 30 years.
Teacher is one of the most rewarding and respected vocation in China. In Chinese culture teachers are highly respected by students and parents, and Chinese parents put great importance on children's education. Many foreign teachers feel great pleasure while teaching in China. Hope you always enjoy teaching in China! 😊
Chinese parents attach great importance to education. China's traditional culture is to respect teachers and respect knowledge. In China's traditional values, Teachers are almost equal to parents. A good teacher should also be appreciated and loved by the students for life. Many students will visit their teacher in the hospital before they passed. This is the sense of honor of Chinese teachers. There is no greater honor than to be a reputable teacher in China. The vast majority of Chinese entrepreneurs and retired officials, as well as those talented, their greatest wish is to return to campus one day. To be a teacher to educate the next generation. This is also my humble wish. I wish you a happy life in China. Thank you for your effort.
Thanks for your informative, objective and truthful vlogs. Always a joy to watch. It is amazing that China, which was once closed to many countries, have now become a country of opportunities. Many citizens of other countries are moving to work in China not just as English teachers, but also in various technology, technical and administrative jobs. This shows the significant progress and advancements taking place in the new China. From your videos, China is so peaceful and beautiful. Yvon, enjoy your job and travels in China, and keep up with your vlogs which are enjoyed by many around the world, including me from Malaysia. Thanks. 👏👏👏💐 Blessings. Stay safe and enjoy life.

You are a contented and grateful person. Usually such a person can easily enjoy real happiness.hope you have great days in China and never fell it boring. Mentioning the parents of students, I laughed, generally most parents in China accompany their children to study out of schools for an Incredible long term willingly.
@@GoYvon yes .you are right.but no one can stop it or no need to presently.it is not only expectation but also tradition. Chinese care much about their offsprings, sometimes more than themselves.
I born in H.K.n now living Toronto Canada for 45 years... I been to most places u mentioned in China but still envy u can live , eat ,travelled around freely by yourself in China.. More so u feel safe n enjoying so much !! Looking firward to seeing more of your videos.Thank you !!
In regards to money, something to consider is that it's not always about the amount you earn, it's about what you are able to save. Health and happiness can be affected by the amount and type of options available to you, which may be affected by money unfortunately.
I'm about to move to Shanghai to do just that! I also have my B.S. in Marketing Management (akin to your husband!) and hope to utilize it afterward. The transition between the two will be hard to navigate, I think. Did he move up within the teaching company, or switch to a new company/job entirely?
@@GoYvon Thank you for this knowledge and for responding! I've never been to China but am eager and excited to go. I also love teaching, and might end up doing that forever as well. Thank you for making videos as well - yours was one of the only channels I could find!

@@believeingood5875 Thank you. I also hold extremely high value in education and consider it a position of utmost importance. It's not just about what one teaches, but the people in the community one is teaching. Especially as we're all connected and working toward a better environment together FOR one another. I can see myself doing it for a long time, but may also switch into the profession I originally obtained my degree for. I would love to move and live outside of Shanghai as well - I think the culture of China is better captured somewhere smaller.
You have been working in China for 10 years and your favorite captions are, "10 best, 10 reasons" etc. I trust you will soon use the caption " 20 best", "20 reasons" after working there for 20 years, lol . Enjoy your life 😆.
Hi Alex, thanks for the comment! I'd suggest you check out this video; ua-cam.com/video/kWd71MKyMBU/v-deo.html. In this video I explain why my newest videos all have '10' in the title.
Some of the articles I read online about food safety and security in China scare me, regarding fake foods etcetera. I hope they are not true or are blown out of proportion, as it’s the only aspect making me hesitant to apply. I am still researching. Do you have to be careful regarding what you eat? I appreciate videos with positive vibes about China.
Many people get food poisoning and affect their health every year in every country. It is not only happening in China. I remember that a rat/mouse was found in a pack of bread from a supermarket in UK. I am not going to think that a mouse/rat is in every bread in UK. All I can suggest for you food safety concerns in China is to buy the food from big supermarkets and eat in proper restaurants.
Vic Ru Yeah you are probably right. I am maybe reading too many biased articles. Still, it’s very strange people make these articles if they aren’t true in a broad sense. When I lived in Korea the western media exaggerated many aspects and expressed inaccuracies compared to my experience there. Thanks for responding. I guess it’s like buying a second hand car. You pay the money and take the chance! Still better to minimise the risks and ask online from real people living there. Thanks Vic
@@oldschoolwaverider you are welcome. I am not saying all the media are biased, but they need to catch people's eye ball to make profits, and they only focus that too. Think about it, how many news have you seen from the media were actually having a follow-up? Even they knew the truth after reporting an rumour proposefully/accidentally, they won't correct the rumour anyway. I will read the news, but not fully trust what they report. If you are interested in China, I recommend you to visit it once and experience it yourself. So many people have lived/visited in China share their positive and negative experiences in media. The people share negative experiences are still able to stay in China or back to their country safety. Therefore I personally wont worry security issues at all, unless you are going to commit crimes. China is same as other countries, zero intolerance to criminals.
Understandable! Unfortunately some of those stories are true. On the other hand though, there's been a lot of improvements in the past couple of years. I pay attention to what I eat, but I'm not super careful. I'll go to night markets and eat street food occasionally.
I will NEVER work in a Western School because (a) teachers are not respected, (b) students are largely disrespectful, (c) parents are disinterested in their childrens' education, (d) the workload is awful and (e) the stress is terrible. In China though, where I worked for 15 years, (a) Teachers are respected and there is even a nationwide Teacher's Day to reflect this; (b) students tend to be respectuful and (c) parents take far more interest in their childrens' education; (d) the workload is manageable and the (e) stress far less. The one big downside is that you don't have flexibility to take holidays so that you must take vacation when school is out and the WHOLE nation is on vacation! This can result is massive crowds at airports and train stations and the price of travel (air in particular) can rise massively during Spring Festival (春节) and National Week (国庆节). As a result, I preferred to potter around at home and retain my sanity than brave these crowds.
Did you see the title of the video? I have been in China for 10 years and at the moment I don't have any plans leaving or going back to the Netherlands
It's common sense to honor the teachers and respect their teachings in China, you are very lucky to have Chinese students.

Hello,
Can I contact you for any information on learning in China please?😊
thank you in advance. ☺️
You need a degree of anything. Unfortunately, I don't have a degree so I can't teach in China. Even though I have a TESOL certificate
Ik spreek een beetje Nederlands.
Wat leuk! Waar heb je het geleeerd?
@@GoYvon In Amsterdam. It was the only sentence I grasped purely by listening.
虽然我也不想谈政治，但是我非常想知道在中美冲突愈演愈烈，有新冷战之势的当下，在华的外国人特别是西方人真的没有一点感觉吗？非常好奇
其实个人感觉，老外国家概念不强，天天关注政治的人较中国人的比例低
