You make a really good point about the assumption of learning that is considered to take place at a hogwan. I for one, find it difficult to accept that I am lead to believe that "actual teaching" is what I am supposedly hired for and then once I am introduced to my position I am quickly directed to act like a clown to keep the money flowing. Or as they call it, "keep the kids happy".  |

My boss once had an idea to open an All English Bookstore / Coffee shop / Bar and wanted to hire English Staff only and have a Hakwon upstairs.
The Staff would teach plus spend a few hours a week either selling books (daytime) or tending bar (nightime) only in English. Give discounts for students and actully have some of the classes in large booths in the bar.
I thought this was a great idea, but Immigration said that vias would be impossible.
How would these folks be licenced and/or visaed? |
Unless you set it up where you employ E2s upstairs and F2s downstairs, and omit the teaching element in the bar. Depending on how you structure the nature of business in the bookstore/bar, you might be able to bring people over on E7s. |

I think those english villages are a way to bring in non degree people and pay them less.
I really wish that they would stop these grand schemes and direct the money back into their public schools to reduce class sizes as Korea has the largest classes in the OECD. |
Korea is the only country I know of where they can take an exam subject that generally terrifies students and turn it into a theme park.
And one that will probably draw crowds, too.  |
