That's why the Korea Herald NEVER runs stories about crooked hogwan owners. That's why Herald Media attacks Dave's ESL- this is where so many of us get the help we need to legally defend ourselves and our rights. Follow the money.

Well yeah , of course. And, btw, they own the Kids Herald (or whatever the f they're calling it now) chain of hagwons. About 8 months ago, they released a textbook series that rips off Engligh Time in a major way, and forced all branches to use it., from what I was told by the bossman.

Dolla dolla bills, yall.

That's why the Korea Herald bashes Dave's ESL.

So, all of the Herald hogwans are bad? Kids Herald, Korea Herald, and whatever other names they may have? If there's a Herald in its name, the best thing to do is stay away?

I do have a friend who works a Kids' Herald, and he seems to be happy with his boss. However, that said school had some complaints about it in the past, but it doesn't now. That is what I can gather. So maybe the owners of that branch changed their tune a bit. Anyway, it is easy to bash English teachers. In many cases, we are foreigners trying to make it in a foreign land where we don't speak the language, and so many bosses try to take advantage of our foreign backgrounds. Of course, people in those situations will complain. I am sure the person who wrote that article would complain if he were in that situation.
