 Posted: Wed Sep 19, 2007 9:09 pm Post subject: Public School stealing students from Hogwans |
 |
|
I work at two small public schools in a small town. Between the two schools I only work 15 classes a week between them.
At the beginning of the semester my coteacher asked me if I wanted to teach at a elementary school for extra money. I have no problem on making extra money when it is offered me by my school.
They told me it would be an after school program ran by the school and it would run for 5 night a week between 5:30 and 7:00. That would mean two extra classes a night for five nights for how ever long it was succesful. Also my school would pay me every month for each class I teach.
The two principle's make a deal with the kids parents that they would pay the school for the classes. But the price is lower than the parents would be paying at the hogwans.
For the first night I had 22 studends in class A and the next night I had 21 students in class B.
With these classes starting up and my other extra schools. I have just doubled my salary from my contract. Puls, I'm still teaching under 32 hours a week. |

Yes, with 3 days only having 2 or 3 classes a day. On these days the school let's me leave at 2:30. |

I hear ya espeically since my classes seem to be getting bigger. I enjoyed having small classes of 8-10 now I have a class of 19  15 and 8 
I now can't stand these classes and they pay a hell of a lot less than 100,000 won at my school  |

YES, I know it will get old soon. But I'm lucky starting out with 4 days a week for the first few weeks. The school wanted two teachers to work the class. But their schools wanted them for after school programs.
For now I'm enjoying the extra money. The school promised 1,200,000 W a month for these classes. |

| I do extra classes too, but only once a week. The school also has an English Training Day that it does every other Saturday morning, which I used to do. I don't think it's really an effort to destroy the Hogwans, but more of a way to alleviate the financial burden of poor farming families, which my school has a lot of. |

As long as it's not a permanent arrangement, I could sacrifice a month or two, then take a break from it, and go back and do it again later after I've recharged the batteries.
Month (or two) on, month (or two) off. Sure.
Twelve months stright of that kind of schdule? Not a chance. The money's not worth my health. |

But if that were the end result, I wouldn't shed a tear. |

Extra coinage never hurts. However, that's a long old day, and as they're obviously paying for the privilage of having you teach their kids, you better make sure you keep things spikey and entertaining in the classroom else senor Hogwon will be reeling them back in.
Good luck with it and enjoy the extra wonga. |

To be fair...I teach those classes on top of 3 other after school classes of 27 24 and 15
When I think of it this way, I should get a fucking gold medal  |
