http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2013/09/113_142433.html

This links shows that the Foreign English teaching devils in public schools schools have committed a total of 25 crimes over the past 5 years. There are approximately 5000 Public NETS in Korea, so this translates into a crime rate of about 500 per 100,000. However, as it's over a 5 year period, it's an annual crime rate of about 100 per 100,000.

Korea in general has a crime rate of 1347 per 100,000.

So, the average Korean is 13 times more likely to commit a crime, than your average Foreign English teaching devil.

Not really surprising. Teachers working here are required to have degrees and the levels of education among criminals is usually significantly lower than the average in English speaking countries.

I guess it is not something to cheer but there is an article about suicides among firefighters in Korea underneath the article. A firefighter is more likely to commit suicide than a foreign public school teacher is to be caught committing a crime.

500 per 100,000? Im actually surprised its that high. I find that embarrassing since were supposed to be role models and act like "guests" and everything (whether we like it or not). The number SHOULD be zero.

Keep in mind that, unlike with Koreans, the foreign teachers at public schools in Korea are a transient lot. It's not the same 5000 teachers over a five year period. Most do a year or two and go home. So the actually numbers of foreign teachers at PS's during that period was probably between 10,000 and 20,000. That's a lot more teachers 'not' committing crimes.

Hehe, don't go there. Us foreigners have a very cosy relationship with the cops and we'd like to keep it that way. Cool

Koreans who read that article are unlikely to make that connection.
It gives no background.


All the article basically says is that foreigners are criminals.

Because most of us are white, and white people usually follow the rules.
