Someone's full of piss and vinegar aren't they.

I'm going to answer all of your questions in one convenient post.

Max Salary: Doesn't matter.

Why: You're a teacher, you shouldn't be worried about such things.

Grading papers: Doesn't matter.

Why: A teacher puts in as much time as necessary to get the job done right.

Dress code: Like a teacher.

Why: You're a teacher.

After work: Like a normal person whose job is teaching.

Why: You have to be mindful at all times that you're a teacher.

What made me go: I'm a teacher.

Why: See above response.

I turned down a promotion at the compnay I was working for in the states. Becuase, I was tired of moving every year and I would have been going to a crappy store. So, six months later my supervisor decided to fire me.
My wife to be got me a job teaching English in China and after a couple of year we moved to Korea to teach.

Well played.


To somewhat answer your question, even though I'm not in SK I can tell you that it's a great place to start teaching abroad if you're considering the lifestyle, because pay is good, living expenses are cheap, and there is a good demand for teachers.

China you get paid less.
Japan you get paid around the same but it costs a lot more to live there

....etc

Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Where you gonna run to?
All on that day
Well I run to the R.O.K., please hide me
I run to the R.O.K., please hide me
I run to the R.O.K., please hide me, Lord
All on that day
But the R.O.K. cried out, I can't hide you
The R.O.K. cried out, I can't hide you
The R.O.K cried out, I ain't gonna hide you guy
All on that day
I said, R.O.K., what's a matter with you R.O.K.?
Don't you see I need you, R.O.K.?
Lord, Lord, Lord
All on that day

What made you post these questions on this board?

1. Lack of anything better to do?

2. Enjoy getting in arguments on-line?

3. Trolling for "Anti-English Spectrum"?
