Ok~ Here’s my Questions,
*To become a Preschool/Kinder-garden Teacher would it be smarter to Major in something related to teaching or Child Development? I’d rather go with Child Development Because that means i can find more jobs related to Children instead of just teaching, Right?
*What is the Demand for them in Japan? I see a lot of people wanting to hire English and Japanese speaking People but those jobs seem mostly to teach ONLY english to children, I don’t wanna do that.
(by the way who on Earth hires A tutor for a preschooler to learn English? I honestly saw an ad wanting one!)
*What are the requirements In Japan For them?
*Is there any extra classes you can/should take to improve your chances of getting the job??
*Any other suggestions, Ideas or Comments???
~THANKS~

He is a very busy boy, and if I take 15 minutes to do dishes, he will create 2 hours worth of work. Any ideas? How do others do it?

The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, also known as the Rio Summit, Earth Summit (or, in Portuguese, Eco ’92) was a major conference held in Rio de Janeiro from June 3 to June 14, 1992. 178 governments participated, with 118 sending their heads of state or government.Some 2400 representatives of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) attended, with 17000 people at the parallel NGO Forum, who had so-called Consultative Status. The issues addressed included: *systematic scrutiny of patterns of production — particularly the production of toxic components, such as lead in gasoline, or poisonous waste; *alternative sources of energy to replace the use of fossil fuels which are linked to global climate change; *new reliance on public transportation systems in order to reduce vehicle emissions, congestion in cities and the health problems caused by polluted air and smog; *the growing scarcity of water. An important achievement was an agreement on the Climate Change Convention which in turn led to the Kyoto Protocol. Another was agreement to “not carry out any activities on the lands of indigenous peoples that would cause environmental degradation or that would be culturally inappropriate”. The Convention on Biological Diversity was opened for signature at the Earth Summit, and made a start towards redefinition of money supply measures that did not inherently encourage destruction of natural ecoregions and so-called uneconomic growth.
