> easier. what are some of the pros/cons to teaching adults vs.
> children?

> thank you for the response!

Children:

Pros: easier to teach if English is also your second language, if you enjoy the enthusiasm and fun related to children and their activities, then it might suit you, it is rewarding when you see the progess.
Cons: you might run into SOME children who don't want to be in control of their behaviour and who enjoy ruining your day, children sometimes forget to bring their books, etc.

Adults:
Pros: They are in control of themselves,and you can make some good friends.Sometimes to show their appreciation they might take you out for a meal and drinks. I've only ever had one strange woman in a class, who didn't like the question "How are you?", as she thought it was culturally unappropriate. You can have an intelliegent conversation.
Cons: No cons for the teachers, but for the school, they can just come for one month to socialize with other people who are advancing in life, and then drop out for no reason other than there was no dating potential in that class.

Hope it helps.
Amelia :D
