Good luck in the interviews, both of you.


Again, I have zero idea what this means. Maybe I am just slow...

If we have an interview for our visa, I fear they will ask what the heck I have been doing in Korea for the past two months.

Less than 10 kids and 8 teachers, that's a tiny school.

Quick details...

Small brand new school (less than 10 kids). They keep talking about how it will grow, but no interest yet.

8 teachers (crazy, I know)

Broken contract several times. Yes, I have asked about these things but really get no answer nor does the contract go back to the orriginal state.
Contract issues are money, and less of it for me. About 10 grand less.

Recent issue is that we have discovered that they have access to our bank account and have set up payments for a fee we must pay for our children to the school. With no permission from us.

We are working illegally. Although our work visa is in proceess. If we have an interview for our visa, I fear they will ask what the heck I have been doing in Korea for the past two months.

The school has plenty of money. Although one can only shell out so much when none is coming in, eventually I would guess they would call it quits. Although they keep purchasing crazy epensive items to decorate etc.

So, if I run... I will feel pretty bad. Other than the above they have been pretty good to me. They also seem to be nice people, but with all the horror stories I fear the worst. however, I can only be jerked around so much, you know?

My big question is, should I give any notice? Since I am not on a work visa... can they really do anything at all? Even if I give them notice (other than clear out my bank account, which I will have cleared out beforehand anyway)?
Does one really have to do a "midnight run"??

Thanks for your thoughts.
