I'm not particularly interested in the 9 AM to 10 PM hours of the Yongin-si camp at HUFS Yongin campus.
But I would like to work at a sane camp (oxymoron?).
Have any of you PS teachers ever gotten permission from your overseers to work legally at outside camps during your semester breaks? |

Thanks. I'll take a look at these, but I already told them that I don't want to do it after seeing that they want the teachers to work from 9AM to 10PM. That's a little too extreme.
Also, it appears they want an answer about whether I'll do it without ever giving me any info (how un-Korean can you get   ) -- I don't even know if there's any Korean helpers, what ages I'd be teaching, almost nothing in the way of info. No wonder I've heard they always have a hard time getting teachers. |

DO NOT even try to get more information. Last year I agreed to have an interview with one of their representatives so I could get more information about the camp. The day after the interview, I told them that I wasn't interested. This infuriated them and they tried to force me to work at the camp because I interviewed. I tried to explain that with any normal job, having an interview does not require someone to work somewhere. After weeks of arguing with the Yongin education office they finally backed down. |

So, did you ever do it then? And, what Office of Education was it that said yes? |

Every story like this confirms my decision to tell them at my PS today that I'm not interested. Still, I would like to work legally at some camp, but I don't expect they'll let me after I turned down theirs. |
