Come on, do I really have to have all these tests done just to renew with EPIK?

I'm F2, and have been with them since like 1954. Christ.

I really feel for you buddy. Wow, you have been there since 1954 and they still don't trust you!!!!

p.s. yes it is for real because you work at a public school.

Yeah, I've even got it tattooed on my forehead, "EPIK SINCE 1954 BABY". I think it's the tattoo. They're worried because I got it done on the 1992 field trip to Thailand by a bunch of trannies using dirty needles.

p.s. This sucks.

All the K-teachers do a similar test, minus the HIV and drug test. Since only foreigners take drugs, have HIV and want to give it to the kids. Mad
But hey if you've being teaching here since like 1954 you need regular check-ups.

The regular test is fine, but for this one I'm going to have to go half-way across the city.

If you have an F-2, you are gold.

Tell them to kiss your asphalt and get a real job.

Public schools require annual or semi-annual medical checks for all teachers, Korean and foreign, E-2, F-2, F-4, F-5, etc. They can require tests if they want, find out officially what they want if you get to bypass the immi tests.
