|
During exams at my middle school I'm scheduled to invigilate just like all the K-teachers. After passing out the exam papers, it can be stupefyingly boring sitting in a silent classroom with nothing to do but hand out replacement answer cards. I'd almost rather be teaching.  However, I do get to go home at lunch time.  |

Visiting school - stay home
Main school - not a clue. I'm sure they will have me come in, and they might have some random English-related work for me. But if everyone else goes home at noon, I damn well am going home at noon too. |

| No way I'd invigilate unless I were at an international school. I'm not going to deal with anything important when I don't know Korean. |

Five day weekend!
I've got the feeling that if it's raining I'll be sat in my pants on the internet. If it's sunny then I'll be off to the beach for a bit of swimming and catch some rays. |

Kyungnam EPIC has middle school teachers having to teach some sort of English Village style set-up, Friday for the kids and then Sunday of all days which I assume is for the families. I haven't been told anything else than to show up. Pure B.S. but who knows, it could be fun and we're getting extra pay on top of regular and after school.
Anyone else in this predicament?
Only Thursday for me which I plan to spend in Seoul getting stuff notarized, shopping, etc. |

| Invigilating. No reading, no sitting down, no turning away...and when a student has a question, stand there until the Korean teacher can do your 'invigilating' for you. A worthy waste of my time... |

Both my schools have three days each. Different days in different weeks of course because god forbid anything should be easy with this job. But I get an extra day (4 exam days instead of 3) so I shouldn't complain. |
