It is about the problems associated with hiring and employing foreign teachers. Odd that the journalist thought it appropriate to include an image from underage porn (albeit censored) in the article.

Yawn. This kind of stuff has been floating around for years.

Considering the many foreign freaks I've run into over the years, I believe their suspicion is warranted.

I would also add that most foreign teachers are working side jobs in violation of their work visa and not paying income tax on the monies received for such illegal work.

I do not engage in such illegal activity in Korea and considering that most foreign teachers are involved in criminal activity I have no sympathy for what some Koreans may say about them.

Wether or not a news article is 100% accurate, I believe their suspicion is warranted.

What warrants a teacher to be categorized as a freak? How do they have to be?

I find that statement hard to believe.

I always get a kick out of dudes like you.

"I've met so many freaks". "Others give me a bad name" "Koreans like me because I'm different". LOL

"More weight has been given to job performance"
Are you Fn kidding me? As anyone who's been here more than a week knows, the things that get you hired are age, looks, and gender. Maybe if employers weren't so hung up on these things, experienced teachers could stay here and work instead of going to China or Saudi. Most of the good teachers I've known here got squeezed out of the market.

Secondly, the reporter claims there's no way to check criminal records. Thats just clearly false.

Thirdly, as revolting as sex with a 15 year old is, many Koreans have gotten away with it openly. There's 10,000 fatherless kids in the Philippines called Kopinos, from ajossis "golf trips". So, that's okay because the victims aren't Korean? I dont know, this article seems to be written by someone who doesn't know the industry well at all. Some good points, but mostly just ignorance.

I've learned how to behave in Korea. If others can't do it, or won't do it, it not my problem.

Believe what you like but I don't do illegal things in Korea. But your statement seems to indicate that you do and many others as well which was my point. I think it is hypocritical that so many foreign teachers will rave on about how hogwons do bad illegal stuff, but it's ok for the teacher to break the law by working side jobs for cash.

If law abiding tax payer makes me different then so be it. I think it is unfair that honest Koreans business owners have to lose business to illegal foreigners who think it's ok to break the law in Korea. Honest Koreans and foreigners should not be punished or lose money for obeying the law. That's why I have no sympathy when a foreigner or a Korean gets run through the ringer for committing crimes in Korea.
