Sometimes it seems as though virtually everyone in Korea is studying English, but no one is actually using it. And yes, hagwons are often used as a glorified babysitting service, and many of those squalling little, fingers-up-your butt primates are 'learning' English against their will. Nonetheless, your mandate and mine is to do the existential deal, which is to serve up and deliver the goods as well as we know how, without regard to the outcome. Some of your clients will get it, some won't, depending upon their disposition and attitude. Go for it anyway, serve it up, bank the quid, and sleep well at night.

In any case, stats aside, the level of English here is dissproportionately low considering the focus, time, and money that goes into it. As I said, that will change when the current crop of Hagwon kids come of age.
