So, do they plan on putting this into effect before the end of this semester, or the beginning of next semester? Also, will these changes occur mid-contract, for those of us whose contracts don't end until August 2010?

Guess I am asking if this means another mid-contract change???

You've had mid-contract changes?

Who's your employer?
When?
What were the changes?

I've certainly never had anything changed mid-contract.

It sounds like if it's going to happen it'll happen in Feb.
They were pretty adamant to some of the latecomers that a five month contract ending in Feb. was the only one they'd offer.

Why no more teacher training classes? If they're going to start having more korean teachers, maybe we should, oh I don't know...train them?

And I know epik, gepik, and smoe contracts are similar and they tend to follow each others' leads, but it sounds like technically all we're talking about is gepik in this post so far, right?

The "may be forced to teach 6 hours overtime" clause has been in GEPIK contracts for 2 years atleast.
