 |

.....except the foreign teachers! So, does this happen a lot at your school? Where the Korean teachers get some new goodies but the foreigners are always left out? All of the Korean teachers just got a new 4GB flash drive, but none for me and the other foreign teacher at my school. It just seems like another way to discriminate. I guess I should be used to it by now.  |

| They gave em out at my school, I ended up getting one. I think it's just a school to school thing or something. |

I wish I made 4 times as much as they do! My co-teacher told me she makes 5 million per month. I'm barely scrapping at 2.1, so I'll take the flash drive thank you.  |

Eh 5 mil is the exception not the rule. New teachers start at 2 mil a month, my coteacher who's been teaching 20 years is at 3.6 (not homeroom teacher) |

| Yeppers. First day of the school semester, we were all called in the teachers' room for a meeting. Then the "extra" teachers were dismissed. I found out they gave all the teachers except the extra ones flash drives. I had to buy 2 flash drives using my own money. I have a lot of specialized classes & I supplement the shitty text. I lost one of my flash drive a while ago and think it's cruddy the school didn't even bother asking if I wanted one when they damn well know I use flash drives....a LOT. |

Go onto eBay, buy a 32GB flash drive, and start waving it around at school. Extole its speed and how fantastic it is. Oh, you've only got 4GB? Hrmph. Well, I suppose it's okay for what you use it for. |

Sorry, I stand corrected.
I heard other people talking about how the other Korean teachers make way less, thus often leading to hostility to the foreign teachers.
I guess their word is as good as yours.
I don't know what to believe!  |

Their pay scale keeps going up, that's why I think there are varied reports. We can't really say a standard salary. The newbie 22 year old teacher pulls in 2 mil, the 55 year old will pull in considerably more.
There are also bonuses for things like being a homeroom teacher, and you get a pay supplement depending on how many kids you are raising. |

I'm guessing they don't get anything else on top of this though, right? as in no accommodation, airfare, etc.? |

Yeah that's native crap. I don't know about other bonuses either. People bandy around figures saying that koreans get these huge bonuses, not sure if that's true or applies to teachers. |
