[Temporary]

On every friday I teach in a rural school that has a grand total of 60 children. They have close two twenty staff people for this school. My primary school is only 3 Kilometers away. Half the time I see most of the kids from the dinky school in the area of my larger school.

Also the teachers here are mediocre at best, more then half the time they are late for class or kids run rampant and they do as they please. The teachers here are a joke compared to my main school.

Adding insult to injury most of the kids here are pretty dumb. All the teachers complain about how slow the students are.

Why doesn't the POE just shut this useless school down save the money and rent a friggen bus. The buses run on a regular schedule here any way, so even renting a bus is not that imporant.

The sad part is that my main school just built an english campus which these kids will attend anyway.

Teachers union. These days government really can't fire teachers (unlike the past when it was too easy to fire one), only thing they can do is move them around, or offer incentives for older teachers to retire early. I think if you retire around 55, instead of 60, they'll give you around 100 million won. Not bad if that teacher was wise with their money.

I teach at 4 diffrent schools, one with about 800 kids, one with less than 90, and two with less than 30 each. The 800, and the 2 30's are not a 5 minute drive to each other.

They acctualy bought me a car so I can travel around to these schools. It maks no senses financially BUT i love having classes of 3-7 kids and a car to use.

One would think then, with such fierce sompetition, that schools could afford to be choosy and hire the best......wonder how that one falls on it's arse too.
