What Real Reality had experienced, being denied entry at a restaurant or
unaccommodated at a department store, must occur only in southern hick
towns or out in the boon docks where there is the bulk of anti-American
sentiment and sympathy for North Korea in its political duel with the USA.
I have been in Korea for about a decade, most of the time in and around
Seoul, but have never had to suffer what RR has had to. The only disrespect
and outright indifference I have had to suffer on a regular basis has been from my
obnoxious neighbours and building management who refuse to respond and act
on my complaints against the 'babos' next door. But when I have a couple of friends
over after midnight and the music is up just a notch either the guard or the
police may give my door a rap.

The problem arises because Native teachers often can't correct the kids when needed, on the spot and in their own language.

We rely on physical force, not words, to keep discipline. But you're always going to get into trouble, not to mention look ridiculous shouting "hajimaaah!" and shaking little Johnny when he is cheeky or dong chims you.
if you have the time to grab hold of every offender and take them to the KT, then try and explain the offence when she's more likely to understand his point of view, then...good luck to you.

When I was a contractor for Uncle Sam, I experienced the same thing Real Realtiy did......in Itaewon. However, it was about the time the American soldier ran over the two Korean school girls with an LMTV (I think). Anti-American sentiment was running very high then.

Well, look at it this way. At least you're not a nobody, like Canuckistain. That hoe isn't even a teacher here in Korea.
