Does anyone have any information about this particular branch. I used the search option and located information about other KH schools, but not this specific branch.

I got the contract and it looks a lot like my current hellish contract, so I'm in the process of rewriting some of the clauses. I just want some info from anyone in the know about this school.

This job was offered to me on a recommendation from a previous supervisor. The director of the school contacted me and sent the contract. It needs a lot of work to be signable.

I was curious about the school itself. How's the working environment, etc?

Anyone can PM me if they have any info

thanks

I think denz is off-track here. I know people who live in Imhak and work for the local Kids Herald. It's 6 subway stops away from Bupyeong station(near Gyeyang Station and Imhak Station in Incheon), so I'd be surprised if they called it the Bupyeong Kids Herald, but it is indeed bad news. There's a guy who's currently trying to fight for 5 million won worth of severance, a girl who gut screwed out of a whole lot of overtime (no reason given).

If denz is right, this school should be avoided.

If he's wrong, I can't help you either.

If you think these schools might be one and the same, PM me, I can help you confirm.

yeah, i went to Kid's Herald in Bupyeong back in September. Their contract was bloody awful. They didn't offer me the job anyway because I didn't sound american to them. Who cares that I lived my whole life in the states and have no accent to speak of. Real geniuses running that place Rolling Eyes Anyway, spoke to one teacher, he thought it wasn't bad. It looked pretty new too, was very clean and looked well kept. Other than that, couldn't tell you anything else.
