Forcing teachers to quit must surely make that korean gulag owner happy to the tune of 2k+ per person each time he gets away with this.

Damn those hogwon associations and their creative bent towards pooling schemes on "how to rip off foreigners" BS.

I don't know how it was in 2008-9 but none of these issues are relevant now at Changnyeong English Village. I have been teaching here for a little over a year and we have not experienced any abuse at all. In every case our employers have lived up to or gone above the stated promises in the contract. In all honesty I don't want anyone judging this job on these old posts when in reality the job environment is excellent.

Yeah, I've only been on here a week. The reason why? It's because I'm not prolific in internet forums. I try to stay away since most of them are crawling with trolls. I joined this one and posted because I love my job and I'd hate to see someone base their opinion of the school that I have loved being a part of on a post that was put on here 6 years ago. This is a good job and my employer has been nothing less than a friend and a mentor to me during my time here.

Much can happen in 6 years, heavens knows I've changed immensely in that time. This is a good school and a good job. That is the honest truth and that is all I can offer.

every job is great 1 week in.

How can you love the job after one week?

Still BS I'm calling it. I would still bet its a terrible place to work. Owners do not just up and change their style of management.

I have been at this job for over a year. I enjoy it because I like the environment, the challenge, and students I work with. I joined this forum because I saw my school being attacked online. If I sound like a Korean I guess it is because I've spent so much time with them that I have picked up on their mannerisms. I guess I'll get faulted for that and for the rookie mistake of joining for a reason other than finding the best drinking spot.

you necro'ed a thread from 6 years ago... that is not just casually browsing the internet.. that is searching with a purpose.

A quick google search turns up similar BS from other NETs at the Hakwon. They hold you guys down with a gun to your head and tell you to write nice things about the school or something?

Sorry, but that's not the right question. Smile

I have never heard a foreign teacher refer to their Korean boss as a mentor, nor have I heard anyone say that their working experience changed them..for the better.
