My friend just got fired today after five months teaching at wonderland no less. It's in Namcheon dong in Pusan, so if anyone gets an offer to teach there dont, u will regret it. My friend got fire for giving students a puzzle after a test which is the most rediculous thing I have ever heard, do yourself a favor and dont sign there.

Be careful everyone. Or AsiaT will come onto this thread and claim that Wonderland is a great school, that he has notified all their lawyers and that they are going to sue everyone who slanders Wonderland. Twisted Evil Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy



So AsiaT how is the lawsuit coming? Very Happy

Is there anything more to that story that would warrant a firing? ie., did your friend see it coming or was everything hunky dory and then this one incident happen?

Are they at least going to give her a LOR? PM me if she needs help finding work. I know some good directors up in Daegu that would take her on.

Wonderland's reputation is indeed as black as the plague!

Sorry about your friend and the ole 'I told you so' speech was warranted in this case.

I think AsiaT works for wonderland to defend its reputation. He/she just scrolls all Korean related job sites until they see Wonderland slandered and then defends. i'd imagine it would be a full-time job. Very Happy
