boimking students et al...
not much to tell, as i wasnt here for it. I was hired from canada with maybe 6 or 7 seconds to get my butt on a plane.
the way i heard it, the two fellows teaching here before me got entirely too comfortable here, forgetting that they werent stateside. Uh, that part was for the drugs...
boinking kids. not cool in any culture. considering that 16 here is 15 in the west.
the stories (plural) i heard, and given that each source is heresay and sometimes obviously biased, all had in common a few things. They were smoking dope, sometimes with students. they had underage girlfriends. they were doing privates. the privates i know about cause the phone was never disconnected and their privates called for weeks after wondering why appointments were missed. the drugs i know about cause a week after i got there i confronted one of the male teachers and demanded to know what the heck was going on. when i arrived in the apartment, it smelled awful cause food was still on the counter from a couple of weeks before. the director said they were at a conference, but everything of theirs was still there. cameras, phones, laptops, printer.... like a cheesy western ghost town movie, the inhabitants had just vanished. when the teacher told me about the drugs, i spent a week ripping the place apart. the police had done it also, but they did a poor job and i have been trained to do searches (past life). i found plenty-o-paraphenalia, seeds, stalks, and the tiniest bud. i needed to do it, cause anything found in the apartment after the police searched would logically be in my possession, not leftover from the previous inhabitants. at least one girl i know about, and i will only say...photographs. i got a few different versions of how they were busted. one was a male student jealous that a foreigner "got" a korean girl. another was a jealous korean girl who had a crush...(if i cant have him, nobody can), and the third was that a female reporter posed as a student, got cozy, and got the goods...
who knows. i am sure what i have told here isnt exactly correct in every detail, cause most of it is just pieced together from what others told me, but i think its pretty close.
all that being said, everybody thought they were really good guys. one of the guys was apparently all about korea. i saw his notebooks full of korean writing and stuff. in just over a year, he had really most a serious dent in the language. their friends packed up what stuff they could and delivered it to them at detention before they were bounced out of the country. apparently they got hit with the proverbial thrown book.
well, stuff happens.
