Hi,

Apparently, at least according to a Korean teacher, the 2nd of June could be made a public holiday due to the local elections or something.

Does anybody know anything more about this?

Thanks...

Election days are NON WORKING days for PS teachers.

If you are at a hakwon - you work.

Not exactly. I was sent home twice of the last three election days as attendance at the hagwon was low. But they're small town, one-waygook hagwons.

I'll ask Thursday if I get election day off at this four-waygook small city hagwon.

Yeah, I didn't work on election day when I worked at a really small hogwon (around 100 students tops, and I was the only foreign teacher).

It makes up for the June 6th National Holiday (Memorial Day) that falls on a Sunday this year.

A slight diversion from the main topic, but still within the general scope....

...Will the banks be open on that day?

No class....cheap wings Tuesday night. Sounds like I'm going to go for a new personal record of 54 wings.

No work on election day...what a concept. 'Merica needs to do this and make voting easier for everyone.
