| Also, with regards to private universities, the law requires that you are given a four month notice of nonrenewal if your work contract is not being renewed. Further, if you so wish have a right to appeal your nonrenewal. And if your appeal is unsuccessful, you can then appeal to the Ministry of Education. Of course, in many cases, private universities may not bother to inform foreign professors of their right to appeal. |
This is interesting information...do you have a link for that?
I've often heard it was two months...but if the law requires four...it would be nice to see that clearly laid out. |

I've never heard of that, the most would be 2 months. However my previous employer only gave me a month's notice, good news was I already had a job lined up and was waiting until I got back from vacation to tell them I was leaving |

Don't teachers work in an office, at least when they're not teaching???
Teaching still involves interacting with other co-workers and staff, which is something a lot of people don't do well.
As for the ones who can "fake it" though an interview... that's true... but they get found out quickly...
People can 'act' normal for a bit, but no one can act forever.
What does the system do with the weirdos and nutjobs who don't fit in?
They don't renew their contracts.
I've met a lot of certified teachers in Korea who fit this description.
This is actually why I'm against the idea of improving the quality of teachers in Korea by only hiring "certified" teachers.
If you do that, you're basically left with the "system rejects" from the education system back home. |

My mommy told me I was more special than the hypothetical 'other' group.
