I have thought about posting something before- well before now...I know that to warn other people is the right thing to do...but I am still to get my letter of release. I get that Monday Rolling Eyes . I know the school is looking for someone to start immediately. I will post about the school as soon as I am 'in the clear' (Tuesday?!). There is a lot to say. In the meantime- please be wary of .........school Migeum, Bundang.

And no- I am not a newbie- I have been here 1.9 years. After my first contract I held out for a school that 'cared' rather than a conveyer-belt-type hagwon....if it seems too good to be true.... Shocked

PM me if you have any questions....

Some would call that stupidity, rather than give you a badge of merit. Laughing

Some would but they'd be the poster people for your avatar.

I did not say I deserve anything. It's just a little cute for someone to think he is settled in after 6 months.

Personally, I would think after 8 years, you would be secure enough to not measure yourself by time spent here. (especially comparing to another person)


And back to the OP... why the secrecy?

If your boss is reading this thread, you mentioned the name of the school and that you are expecting your LOR on Tuesday... you don't think he can put 2 and 2 together?

Hehe- I know- I suck!!!! Too good/ innocent to be worldly!!!

I had to warn people...but I don't want it all to come out just yet....I thought about how I could do it- but I have to name the school...(any other ideas???) I'm not worried that he will read what I have said- his English is pooooooooor. But I don't want anyone reporting anything bad/ the truth just yet...

If I don't get that letter of release...then...time for a change of personality!!!!
