As far as I know, there's no standard system of warnings. He comes down really hard on kids when they're late or don't do their homework, so they know for sure when they've done wrong. Also, I think he does call parents, and definitely has conversations with the students about their performance (usually in private, though). But a set system? I don't think so. |
He's probably built a reputation for himself as being very demanding of the kids. Can't allow 4 slackers to ruin that for him. |

It's a really small place, actually, but he did mention that he is thinking about expanding and hiring an extra foreign and Korean teacher. I'll let you know if that happens. |

Yep. The moms inevitably call up, begging to get their students back in, when they see the other hagwons. Actually, three of the kids he kicked out were repeat offenders--this was their second chance. |

| That is just awesome to hear. If I were applying for a hogwan job one of my first questions would be 'how many students have you expelled?'. |

Despite all the money issues with my director, her one great saving grace is that she is serious about education. The first time I told another student to find another hakwon (fit of anger), I was sure I was in deep poop. When I explained that that boy had forced three girls to quit because of the nasty crap he pulled with them, she supported me when his mother called. I can deal with 99% of student idiocy, but for that 1%, she has been pretty good. I think the trick it to be able to explain how that one student is hurting the class, and in the end, her business (though not so bluntly)...
