Any others witness any verbal scraps today at school in Jeollanamdo??

This morning I came into the office and it was insanity teachers screaming at eachother and the vice principal. I quietly sat down and listened to the barage of shouting that lasted about 25 minutes or so.

I asked one of the teachers what it was all about and they said that the VP and the Principal are telling the Kteachers that they must come into work once a week throughout the summer vacation.

Needless to say the kteachers don't like that so much.

Everything seemed to go back to normal throughout the morning but then at 11:40 after the students finished there last exam the VP stands up. She proceeds to b*tch out and shout out loud at the Kteachers for another half hour. Then several teachers stoodup to voice there displeasure of the whole thing.

I just finished lunch and the office is very quiet and the VP just pulled about 7 teachers into another room and I can hear the screaming once again.

I wonder what the deal is??

The deal is North Koreans have obviously taken over the Educational Departments across South Korea. What better way than make sure the children get crappy educations Wink

Actually, I am starting to wonder. Some of my teachers are the same (for less than the absolute stupidity of coming in once a week).

I am the only foriegn teacher here and besides doing a one week camp I will not be coming to the school during summer vacation.

I have heard now that apparently it is because they have to write some kind of a report for the county educational office about the previous and upcoming semesters.

That's Korea for you. Nothing like employee abuse. Even government employees.

Lucky you Inspector Gadget. I only get two weeks off over the summer break, what with one two-week summer camp and a one week one. and I had to fight to get that those two weeks to run concurrently.

Now I am just waiting to see what will happen in the winter vacation.
