I think you'll find that there is still a steep learning curve in terms of adjusting to teaching in Korea. There is a strong possibility that you'll face plenty of situations and demands that fly in the face of what you've learned about best practices in education back home. Adaptability and patience will be very important in your first year no matter where you end up. Having a support system will allow you to tackle these problems with the help of others, and you won't necessarily have one at a public school. |
This.
I've been at a bad private school and good to bad public school (co-teacher infighting). IMO downtime (public) is better than a grind with smaller classes (hagwon). |
