Question1

How long have you taught?Since I graduated from the teacher

training school in 1986.For 27 years

Question2

Why did you choose this job then?

My parents expected me to find a stable job, and to be a teacher is the best one.

A fifteen-year-old child’s thought is limited,so what school you can pass in the exam decides your job in the future.

To pass the exam of the teacher training school was very difficult.

Question3(1)

How is the process from a teacher to a director to a principal?What’s your appraisal?

(1)Nation plans this system,but every country is different. Example(in Tainan):

Must be a director for two years to test for principal qualification.

Must have three years teacher experience to upgrade to director.

won’t have their goals.The administrative process is not

Question5

Being a principal:Commuting time is not fixed It’s possible for principals to be called

out on holidaysA principal represents a school.If people

want to know about a school,they always observe the principal,so principals usually wear a suit when they go out.

Special Question

Why teachers always made requests to students but not themselves?(We are helpless about the trash cans in teachers’ office.)

Teachers are the hardest to teach.They ask students to do everything right,but they sometimes didn’t follow the rules.It’s double standard.We respect teachers because of their profession.They are not perfect.So just think they are old but childish.
