If your school has been around for awhile, then they've probably been burned by a few teachers.

To prevent further trouble, I've seen some pretty strange clauses added to contracts.

My current contract contains the following clauses:

I am not to "have contact of an inappropriate nature with female students."

(I teach mainly middle schoolers)

I am not to "shave my head or other wise have a disruptive hairstyle."

Makes me wonder what the previous teachers got up to. Razz

-is not to yawn while teaching a class to an excessive degree either in frequency (serial yawning) or in 'yawn height/width' (Lion King style).

Mine has four separate "no-sex" clauses:

No sex with students
No sex with staff
No sex with hagwon suppliers
No sex with other hagwon customers

I asked the manager if I had to call in when the wife and I were feeling horny Shocked

"If the teacher shows up intoxicated, or otherwise in a state unable to teach, he will be given written reprimand"

It says in my contract I need THREE written reprimands to fire me. Shocked

Wow! And here I thought showing up to school loaded was a sure-fire to get outta my contract!

If you think you want to, do it 2 times, and be ready to do it a 3rd time.

I left a school two years ago and took up employment with another school in the same town a couple of months later. They have now changed the contract to read that upon completing a contract with that school, you must resign or NEVER work in another hogwan in the same town again. I;d like to know how that works since the contract expires after a year along with it's terms. How can they contract the future?

Anyways, I thought it was funny that the contract was changed because of me!
