To be honest the 2 Topias I know are not good and I would run a mile

HOWEVER

It is a franchise school so it is pot luck. Be more specific about where the school is.

Every once in a while I catch myself in a daydream about throttling the director of the Topia I used to work at.

I work at Topia currently, and have for 4 years. I work for the main brach, and not one of the franchises. As I am management, I won't sit here and praise the school or knock it down. All I would suggest is to speak with current teachers at the school. While I did work with Manlyboy, things can change over 2 or 3 years. Directors change, and policies change. So, while I can see why Manlyboy has a sour taste in his mouth, that was also 2.5 years ago, and things are certainly different.

My cousin worked in a Topia in Changwon, which was a franchise, and he had a horrid time of it. But like many people have said, schools are different from location to location.

The ones Just becuase is talking about are both located in Changwon (there are only 2 here).

If it is either one of them, run, run very very far away.

In what city?

Daechi-dong is just the name of a suburb. We also need to know what city it is in.
