Even though I have heard reports of Wonderland schools that are not so terrible, I don't consider even one of them even an average job.
Lets see...I could teach kids for about 10 hours a day, including screaming kindergarten brats, and have to work on a saturday once a month or so with no pay, or I can work at my current school. The longest day I have (except for summer/winter intensive) is 6 hours. Oh yeah, and my new school pays me better than Wonderland would. |

i am working at a wonderland school right now. It is in Chumdan Kwangju city. My Director is a women but she is nothing like this debbie character.
Her name is Janis. The school opened on the day that me and my partner arrived in Korea. It is three floors one of which is a playground. We didn't know what to expect being our first time and hearing so many bad things about wonderland.
So we have been working here for the last three months and Janis has been nothing but nice to us. We don't get paid for field trips and activity days are hell but she tries and compensates with large bags of kimchi (two of which I threw out last night boy what a stink).
We have a spacious three bedroom apartment with a bathtub and a huge tv.
I mean not all wonderlands are bad. We have had two korean teachers quit but the director has been nothing but nice to us and they were not good teachers anyway.
The moral of the story is we need a roommate and fast... and I am worried we are going to get a *beep* roommate
anyone need a job right away? |
Sounds like the usual Wonderland crap. Unpaid work, cramped, overcrowded accomodations (three to an appartment?!?), and stupid little gimicks (big bags of kimchi?) to try to bribe the teachers into staying. At my Wonderhell they were buying me cookies every time I threatened to quit. It is a circus, not a school. |

i posted about a month a go how I liked my wonderland school....
WELL I TAKE IT ALL BACK.
Wonderland are shit schools with shit contracts don't get suckered into working here...
I did some investigating and turns out that wonderland's standard contract is like signing your life over!!!! 165 classes you have to teach a month, you also don't get paid for field trips and you practically have to beg for less hours
i work too much and I hate it!!
don't work here @@!!!!   |
