I don't get it- do koreans not get sick? I am looking to come teach english in S korea this January but the school just told me that they don't offer sicks days. Is that normal? They also said thaf if I do miss a day it will be deducted from my pay. Is this something to be concerned about or is this a normal thing in Korea?

Of course they get sick, but they still go to work and school. You should get at least 3 sick days in your contract. Most public schools will give you 15 days

and even at a public school they'll give you lots of piss if you dare to use any of those 15 days. Mass solidarity, the nothingness of the individual, all that.
