Well would you?

(illegal refers to those who teach privates as well as fake degrees.

[willneverteachagain]

u can still be illegal and not have a fake degree

[Bibbitybop]

While an illegal teacher with no degree can't claim status as a teacher (and wouldn't legally be able to benefit from legal benefits), a legal teacher with a real degree that does privates is a different story. A teacher doing privates wouldn't be detectable if they are playing their cards right.

If you supported a union (meaning you are a member) then you are illegal and can be deported.

I would support an association of teachers.

I would not support a union that solicited and protected teachers acting illegally under existing law. That sort of thing doesn't make sense - legally or ethically.

I would however support an association whose purpose including promoting the legalization of teaching private students while on an E-2 visa and included changing regulations to come in to line with law. I think the industry aind immigration regulations needs to change.

I would also support an association that proposed to defend the rights of the accused. (Because a person is not guilty until proven to be guilty.

If the association or union defends people who admit to doing something illegal, I think that would be a waste of membership funds.

Illegal teachers are a big part of the problem here in Korea. They keep our salaries down and lower the bar to the floor, and maybe even into the basement.

Question is a bit handicapped imo; it's like asking "would you support a union that excluded scabs?"

[wylies99]

It's a legit question.

[TheBrain]

Who cares about illegal teachers?

[Tokki1]

Not me
