谢老师:(It’s) too far! Do you want to come to our school to be a Chinese teacher? In our school, other people all don’t know Chinese, so we don’t have Chinese teacher.

Hello,

I am not sure I understand the use of 家 in the first sentence.
你们家孩子, can you please explain?

It is a common way to refer to someone’s child. Literally it means “the child of your guys’ family”.
