Haida News!

As the new term begins and things get back on track, Haida in Shenzhen branch caught up with Sam, our new foreign teacher, to hear what he has to say about Shenzhen and Haida.

Q: What have been the positive experiences so far in Shenzhen?

A: I’ve been in Shenzhen for over a month now and have already had a lot of positive experiences. I love exploring new places, so I’ve really enjoyed walking around Shenzhen, especially the many parks which have some spectacular views over the city. Meeting new people has also been really cool. Shenzhen is a city full of people from all over China, and also all over the world, so it has been really interesting getting to know all different kinds of people. My Mandarin isn’t the best, but thankfully lots of people here are very helpful and willing to help me practice.

Q: How do you feel Haida have been when facing difficulties with the transition to China?

A: Before I found Haida, I was having trouble getting into China but the company was extremely helpful and efficient in assisting me getting a visa and other documents required to enter the country. They were with me every step of the way before I left the UK and continued to always be there to help me while I traveled via Hong Kong into Shenzhen. It was quite a stressful time for me but in the end everything went smoothly. While I was in quarantine in Shenzhen, the company helped me communicate with the hotel staff and were waiting for me after checkout. I can’t imagine how tough it would have been without Haida’s support. Since leaving quarantine, the staff at Haida have been really welcoming and supportive and, so far, I couldn’t be happier with my experience.

Q: What are your first impressions compared to life back home?

A: This is my second time in China so I had an idea of what to expect but there are still lots of things to get used to. Firstly, the size of the city is crazy and there are so many people. It’s a fantastic place for people who like the hustle and bustle of a lively city. It feels so alive when you go for a walk in the evening: there are people playing music, dancing on the street, eating, hanging out, and exercising. I can’t believe how safe it feels walking around late at night. And there are shops everywhere! It’s amazing how many places there are to eat, which makes it super difficult to decide where to go, but thankfully the food is really good at most of the places I’ve been to. Another thing is the bikes and mopeds absolutely everywhere!

Here is the first part of the interview with Sam. We will share the rest part next week. Haida works with schools in Shenzhen and Hangzhou. Feel free to contract Haida if you are interested in the teaching positions in Shenzhen or Hangzhou.

Florida: Schools Employ Teachers From Abroad, Approach To Alleviate The Teacher Shortage

Florida: Schools Employ Teachers From Abroad, Approach To Alleviate The Teacher Shortage

Many of the districts in part of South Florida are experiencing a severe lack of qualified educators. The Okeechobee County School District, like it has done for numerous years, employs foreign instructors to deal with the current teacher shortage. The school system employs 430 educators, some of whom are natives of other nations (such as India, the Philippines, Peru, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Ghana,…

I'm still here.

I work for a school directly now and we've finished a school year.

This was me at one point trying to find an apartment in China:

I was legit considering living in a hotel because of this. I posted on WeChat explaining the situation and the secondhand embarrassment my local acquaintances experienced moved two in particular to step in and help me find a place to stay.

I didn't want to talk to the school's HR because she was hounding me about why I didnt have a Chinese girlfriend. She asked with her whole chest during the interview if I was changing jobs because of a woman.

Even as a fluent Chinese speaker, going to those housing agencies and watching them call up landlords and explain to them that a foreigner wants to rent, only to overhear the landlord asking "white? or black?" was never not embarrassing.

Everyone was all "dial 123456 and report them!" Tried that. I was all automated prompts which then lead to an app I had to download but then couldn't use because I didn't have a Chinese ID. No surprise, honestly, but was worth the shot I guess? (A lot of institutions are designed on purpose to be exhausting. You can know this in a place like China because they'll tell you straight up: If you wanna complain about is, dial this number. Good luck lol)

It was only luck that the person who reached out to help me was the random gym trainer who added my WeChat after searching for a place to workout literally 2 days prior.

Fast forward to now. School's out. Typical shenanigans: students making accidentally racist microaggressions. One kid commented that "it doesn't look right having a teacher who should be a rapper or basketball player; I don't think you're professional and can't take you seriously." And after the whole apartment malarkey, I could only give him a look, shrug my shoulders, chuckle at his inbred ignorance and keep teaching. Too tired to give the you-probably-haven't-learned-this-about-yourself-yet-but-you're-racist talk. It's 2020something, I'm saving my energy.

I'm just here to save up to leave. That's all. I now have friends in a different country and I'm working to collaberate with their career endeavors more intensively.

I'll be out of here soon enough. Just need to get a few things in order.

Grading a class test. I was never this person who blamed social media for spelling and grammar problems. But slowly, I do think it has an impact on the current middle and high school students. How could schools compensate for that? I wonder.

Hmm. Just saw this ad.

I actually very, very badly wanted to become an English teacher at one point when I was younger. If I had, I wonder how many incidences of students trying to pass off AI-generated essays, poetry, etc as their own work I’d be encountering right now, and how I would even catch all of them amid the busyness of my day, and how I’d talk to students about it.

you wanna hear something really spicy that I’ve been keeping to myself throughout this whole debacle about Leon’s wiki page? bc the whole thing forced me to go back and read through Darkside Chronicles files, and um...

We say that Leon was STRATCOM prior to the DSO being formed. There is absolutely no evidence to support this. The citation that the wiki gives for it does not say that that’s who he worked for, either. According to the games (and that interview), Leon was just... vaguely military, referred to as a “military operative” until RE4, when he formally gets the title “Agent.” In the actual RE games, STRATCOM is only mentioned by name in RE: Dead Aim, which Leon has nothing to do with. 

The only time that Leon was ever mentioned by anyone in Capcom as being part of STRATCOM was in an interview about an early build of RE3.5, which was ultimately scrapped and turned into Haunting Ground. 

The version of RE4 as it was released had Leon fill the role of federal law enforcement with the title of “Agent” -- a title that Bruce McGivern, the only known STRATCOM member in RE, did not have.

You could maybe assume that Leon was in STRATCOM prior to RE4 because that’s the purview under which the Anti-Umbrella Pursuit Investigation Team fell, but there’s no evidence of that anywhere in the games or any supplemental material other than a comment made about a version of RE4′s story that doesn’t exist.

In fact, the conflict/story in the version of RE4 that actually released had nothing to do with Umbrella, so it doesn’t make sense to me that the US would reach for someone in the Anti-Umbrella Pursuit Investigation Team for a mission like rescuing the President’s daughter. This is made even more evident by the fact that the intro to OG RE4 has Leon stating explicitly that his role in the federal government was protecting the President’s family -- not pursuing anti-Umbrella leads.

It seems very weird to me that Leon being STRATCOM is accepted so widely as simple canon fact, when Capcom seems to have gone out of their way to avoid saying that that’s where Leon was or what he was doing. If Leon ever was STRATCOM, he stopped being it at some point between Operation Javier and RE4 -- which is what, I think, was implied by the statement of Adam Benford “headhunting” Leon. Leon was pulled out of whatever military ops program he was in and shifted to federal law enforcement between OJ and RE4.

Though -- it is important to note that this delineation is only made in the OG timeline. Remake seems to imply that Leon is still in the same whatever federal organization that he’s been in since day zero with the government -- but even then, Remake does not use the word “STRATCOM.” It’s only referred to as a “top-secret government program.” And USSTRATCOM itself is not a top-secret government program, as evidenced by the fact that they have their own website with photos of their highest ranking officers plastered right on the front page LOL

And, completely unrelated --

going through those DSC files made me realize that what little Spanish Leon can actually string together was very likely taught to him by Krauser, who is fluent. There’s a file of him talking Spanish to a local during Operation Javier. So, there’s a little bit of fun trivia for you guys.

#resident evil #Leon Kennedy #jack krauser #could you imagine foreign language classes with krauser as your teacher #because i sure as fuck couldn't #THE IDEA OF KRAUSER GIVING LEON WRITTEN TESTS IS SO FUCKING FUNNY THOUGH

Haida activity!

On Sep. 10th, when Mid Autumn Festival coincided with Teachers' Day, there were double blessings, like expectations for reunion, and gratitude for teachers. On this special day, Haida held an activity to celebrate the double festivals with our foreign teachers.

At the beginning of the activity, we listened to the legend of the origin of the Mid Autumn Festival. And then foreign teachers started to learn how to make moon cakes. In order to make this handmade work more memorable, we chose to use clay to make moon cakes and packed them in gift boxes. Each piece of work of foreign teachers was unique and so lifelike.You can check the pictures above. Besides,  foreign teachers have traveled thousands of miles to China to impart knowledge. Here, Haida once again thanks teachers for their hard work. Haida wish our teachers good luck, health and happiness in their teaching life in China.

CHILDREN WERE STABBED LEAVING SCHOOL TODAY AND YOURE MAKING IT ABOUT YOURSELF. NOBODY IS ATTACKING IMMIGRANTS ON THE STREET BUT AN IMMIGRANT STABBING 3 CHILDREN AND AN INNOCENT WOMAN IS SOMEHOW LESS TO HAVE AN OUTRAGE OVER? Rioters are aimless burning government property NOT stabbing INNOCENT people.

But they are very much attacking immigrants on the street, carrying Irish Lives Matter placards, and saying all immigrants have to die. The group chat where the action was organised had its texts and voice messages leaked. That was very much the intent. I agree that children getting stabbed is very much worth demonstrating over. I disagree that the demonstration involve hurting people and burning public transport and infrastructure.

#ireland #i am incredibly heart broken over the children and teacher that got hurt. #please stop trying to make it sound like the racism is not related when they group that organised this. #calling themselves 'Enough is Enough'. released a statement saying that they should kill all foreigners and immigrants.

[patrice-bergerons]

I'm at that age now where my high school teachers have started dying and I don't like it at all 😔

#he never even taught me but we shared the same school bus for years #see im here writing these tags but i strubbornly don't want to write *was* #a true extrovert someone who was always interested in others whether the students or the bus driver #he'd always make conversation #and an honorary turk too -- he was canadian but moved to Istanbul married in Istanbul ages ago #and he lived on the Asian side instead of on campus like almost all other foreign teachers #so he'd talk to the bus driver in turkish #in a time that was so rough it was always something i could look forward to you know? #and i wish id kept in touch #and i wjsh he was still here #he wasn't even that old #and he deserved so many years at the mediterrenean coast living the true emekli life #oh mr carter

THE PIANO TEACHER- 2001 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Erika is a piano teacher who lives in Vienna with her overbearing mother. She's strict and serious about music, often harsh to her students. Shes emotionally unstable, lost and driven to insane acts by repressed sexual feelings. A confident young man, Walter, falls in love with her after enrolling in her class and pursues her, unaware of her sadomasochistic tendencies....

I watched about half of this with my jaw wide open. What will she do next? An unbelievable acting performance from Isabelle Huppert. She was a force of nature. Found this film to be entertaining, thrilling, curious and also tragic. Raises a lot of questions, only some of them are answered. Some you wonder about as the credits roll. The ending was so sad. Found myself completely stunned by some of the things that happened in this film. An emotional rollercoaster ride.

One of the best films ive seen this year.

Directed by Michael Haneke.
