Any potential employer would definitely believe the hagwon owner instead of a teacher.

You're so right. I heard this is actually quite common in Korea.


Corrections:

1) replace "hakwons/teachers" with "people."

2) replace "Korea" with "the world."

There! Now you are both actually being accurate!

Please mention the name of the hogwan so everybody else can avoid it.

In the States, employers will only give start, finish date and whether or not they would re-hire you.

And if they say that they wouldn't re-hire you (out of spite) how is that different (in terms of the end result) from a hakwon director saying you aren't a good worker? Answer: there's not all that much difference when it comes right down to it...you are likely not getting hired.
