| I would have thought the worsening korean economy would have far more impact on shrinking class sizes. |

Its pretty much bottomed out now. If anything it will improve in the next year given China and Japans improved economic outlooks and growth rates. |

Apparently the new legislation comes in next month (April). So be prepared. My hagwon is seeing a small trickle/ die off in student numbers, perhaps due to this.
But the director has mentioned this in a meeting and is quite worried about the public schools stealing his students...
I guess time will tell- I'm in an averagely well off neighborhood, I suppose I'm anticipating about a 20-30% loss of students for our hagwon...but who knows, I could be out of my job in a couple of months.
Anyone else experiencing a change in student numbers yet? |

| I dont know. It seems like the number of students in my school has increased a lot. I would estimate that we got an additional 30 students and almost none have left. But my director is going to a public rally against the legislation and a whole bunch of other owners will be there too. |

There was a hogwan strike today in my province (Kyeongsamnando)...most hogwan directors went to Changwan to demonstrate. haven't seen anything about this in the news yet..but was a nice day off for us!
My school hasn't seen a drop in numbers yet...but we have a lot of middle school students and I think we could be hit really hard next month. |

| My director is walking round with that mopey worried face. At least he could've gone and demonstrated. But no, he prefers to sit around reading the paper, same as every day... |
