This is maybe a bit of a strange topic, but I feel like many ALTs I’ve met are childfree (myself included). I suppose it’s a little easier to live in a different country for a few years if you don’t have children to tend to 🤔
I think it’s funny that Japanese teachers act almost like surrogate parents to their students, and often they’ll assume that you, too, must love children. Like no, sorry, I have zero maternal instinct and I would actually rather eat my lunch (which is unpaid break time for me) away from students 😬
ETA Wow! Many of you are vile. Please let’s never cross paths irl 😀
