for those of you that have already gone to the nearest consulate , who paid for the trip ? you or the school?
As of now Im demanding that the school pay .So far , thye ve agrred to pay for the flight to TORONTO .
I THINK WE ( THE TEACHERS) SHOULD START A TREND.wE SHOULD DEMAND THAT THE SCHOOL PAYS FOR OUR TRIPS TO THE CONSULATE.
Dont take no for an answer. The way I see it , potential teachers must be dropping like flies .Its too much trouble for a lousy 2.3.

Excellent,
I have been suggesting this myself to new applicants.
This is what I would enforce myself for them to pay as a result of rising costs such as:
1) (what you did) trip to consulate
2) getting new transcripts (one is enough by human standards as results never change after graduation)
3) background check
4) health check

My school agreed to pay for the trip , however they said they would give me the money as soon as I arrived in korea.
I dont really trust them , mainly cause they are korean hogwon owners.
This time of years . tickets are so expensive.

If you do go to Korea and they don't give you the money, then just wait outside the classroom until they pay you.
