Hello to the community , I started working at a private senior high school in Tōkyō last week as an ALT . On April 8th I realized that school had already started one week before but for some reason they asked me to start working one week later … My schedule was not given to me right away so I did not know about the day and the time table ( working hours ) . So when I started working everyone else was already in motion and I felt left behind without knowing who is who . On my first day , I explored the school building to get familiar with my new working place and talked with some teachers and students . I encouraged them to talk in English even if I can understand Japanese . I joined two classes and after that I was told to stay in one of the teachers' room . I had several meetings with Japanese English teachers where they asked many questions about my situation and sometimes in a little aggressive way somehow . Last Wednesday , they told me to take a few days off to rest and today the principal asked me to resign . I am so shocked and despaired for I do not have any other job . If possible I would like to start working at another school but is there any vacancy at this time of the year ? I cannot believe this is happening to me … Thank you for any of your kind word .
