That was well put privateer.
One is always at a cultural disunion over here. It's a world unto itself and not even adjacent to the world you're from. In fact there is little overlap. For kids this is even more so. Remember yourself as a kid. When I was a kid my hometown, friends, family and school was the entire universe. There was no concept of anything outside. Even another town an hour away was a leap. The world is small as it exists in the minds of those you encounter, especially young minds. |

| Hey! I have a question regarding job difficulty/time involved. I'm a teacher right now in a public high school in California, and I have to wake up at 5:00 A.M., commute for an hour, have a small lunch break that I use to make copies or lessons, and then I have several hours of IEP and staff meetings that usually go until 5:00 P.M. or later. I hear a lot of people talk about how grueling the hakwons are, but I think teaching in general is pretty grueling (albeit rewarding and fun as well). Do you think there are just tons of people who have just never taught before, thus they encounter tons of problems once in Korea? Or is teaching in Korea particularly difficult? |
I would imagine public school work is rather less difficult here. |
