Korean Job Discussion Forums

Yesterday was my third anniversary in the Republic of Korea, and I'm happy to say that I will no longer teach elementary school-aged children ever again.

My first job was kindergarten, and not only did I hate it, but I was so bad at it that despite my best efforts that I got fired after six months.

Next job was at an elementary school, and it was a big improvement. I taught at a few elementary schools for a over two years and quite enjoyed it.
Still, I taught part time at a high school and liked that a lot more- they definitely weren't adults, but I liked their relative maturity, the lack of disciplinary problems, and the fact that they were more attentive. I decided that if teaching almost adults was much better than kids, adults would be the best level for me. And I was right.

I've been teaching adults for almost a year now and have just finished my part time elementary school job. I've decided that I will no longer teach that level, and I'm very happy about it.

I've always felt that I'm more of a dog person than a kid person, and teaching children made me realize how true it is.

everytime you post something I have to read it simply to see the new pic of Lee Hyori.
I am officially now a desperate and dirty middle aged man.

Congratulations on your milestone and finding your niche, OP. You must be Koreanized?

When people ask me if I want to have kids I reply 'I already have 450 of them'. I do actually like the vast majority of my students (even if they drive me crazy sometimes) but up to 50 hours a week at school surrounded by them is plenty for me.

I totally agree with that!
