Hey, I wouldn't really recommend Sejong. In the four months I was there, I think . . . hold on, let me count . . . one, two, three, four, five teachers were fired. This is at a school that only has a staff of nine or ten. In case you think they were just firing teachers who couldn't perform, they fired a teacher in the eleventh month of her contract and who only a few weeks before the director had lauded as the best teacher at the school . . . Final thing. Okay, I think in my first 10 weeks there we went through four academic directors . . . It's a volatile situation. Oh, and if you do decide to work there, you won't get your promised health insurance no matter how persistent you are and double-check the living expenses they take out when you get your paycheck. You'll know what I mean. Feel free to PM me. I can also put you in touch with maybe six former and current teachers there in case my perspective's a little skewed.

PS Thanks everyone! Have amended the title accordingly Wink

I thought you were talking about the king! Better watch your subject lines, you know the Korean spies on this forum are plotting your death without even reading the article.
