Korean Job Discussion Forums

If they think we are so scandalous for only being here for the money and some of us (gasp) go out drinking all night at weekends they should have interviewed the kOREAN Head of the English Dept at the High School I worked at last year and my KOREAN manager at the Elementary School I work at now.

The first guy used to come in either steaming drunk or hungover EVERY DAY. Students used to make the drinky drinky sign to me when he wasn't looking. He used to clap me on the back and tell me how much he loved drinking before classes and alsways wanted me to go out and drink with him. He was a waste of space in class and provided little support to this foriegn demon who actually wanted to teach a good class.

The second woman told me last week after a particularly difficult 'advanced class.'

"I don't really like this job or this classes students. I can never be myself or show my real mind. The best way to be happy in this job is to not show your real mind. Don't care if the studetns study well or they will think we are too strict. Just act nice and let them do what they want and you can have easier life. I don't care about this class."

Then they should interview me - the foriegn devil that ignored her advice, turned the class around, got them bringing notebooks, textbooks and (half of them - a marked improvement) homework to each advanced class and actually listen and do work instead of fight each other and make a load of noise and insult me and my co-teacher.

Put that on SBS you moron journalists.

I should submit these stories to The Korean Herald or something.

I would if I had even one single iota of faith hey would be well recieved or taken notice of....

Did that really deserve to be in two threads?
