Are you sure? Maybe a typo?

It may well be true. My friends have told me that some teachers, mainly in elementary school, double their salary by taking bribes 'to take care of' little Bum-Suk. |
Hmm I meant 30 million won = only 3,000 dollars?
But having said all that, I'm looking forward to the next Teacher's Day!! |
It probably should be 3 million won or 3,000 dollars.
You look forward to the next Teacher's Day? Why? Are you a Korean teacher? |

Don't get your hopes up for much more than a few pairs of socks and the like. The big bucks are reserved for the corrupt Korean teachers who take the bribes. (Giving money to teachers is illegal. But then so is turning left from the right hand lane.) |

Let's say W2 million is the average ESL monthly income.
a. W2 million X 12 = W24,000,000
b. Add the value of a free flight to Korea. Approx. 1/2 month's salary
c. Add the value of a free apartment. Minimum would be W300,000/month, so W3,600,000
Total would be W28,600,000 (if you grant the free flight being equal to 1/2 month's salary.
Not bad since no one has to have any training or experience whatsoever for the job. |
yes but we dont recieve the white envelope! so you can add another 10million to those teachers! if not more..
40students per class. each giving 100.000 on average more of course.
3or 4 times a year..
lets say another 10million!!!
ESL'ers get nothing but complaints! |
