| That's good news. Good to see Immy doing their job! Folk that procure employment here under false pretenses are scum and so are those Koreans that assist them. |

I don't know how widespread it is, but it is happening. If immigration busts a recruiter organizing private (illegal) lessons, the recruiter might turn in all the names and number of the teachers who worked through him. |

Nobody gets busted for teaching privates in Korea. It is standard
practice for serious teachers making a career in this country. |

Nobody makes money doing privates in Korea.
Privates are illegal. |

That's right! We're as law abiding about teaching as the locals are about driving. |

I don't know anyone who's ever gotten busted for privates.
but then, privates are illegal and no one does them, really. they are just a fantasy discussed in cyberspace, right?  |
