Hey all, going through the whole job search at the minute. Finding it a bit tougher than last time, but maybe thats cause Im looking for couple jobs with my girlfriend.

Anyway we have been 'offered' a public school job for an after school program. Dont know much about these and just wondered if anyone could shed some light on what we could expect?

Are the class sizes huge, like in normal public school classes? Working hours are short and pay is good, but heard stories of getting pay reduced for classes being cancelled etc..

Any info would be great from those in the know! Cheers!

I had a job like that at Anseong Elementary School.
If that's where your job offer is, ask if there is still a child named Victoria.
If there is, don't take the job.
That child's mother is as nutty as a fruitcake.

I got the job at the end of a school year.
All went well.
(In reply to your questions, no, the classes aren't large.
They're about like they are in a 학원.
And I never heard of a class getting cancelled.)

Then the new school year started, with a new class of first graders.
Enter Victoria, followed by Victoria's mother, who hung around the school, watched Victoria's class through the window, and snooped into the after-school English classrooms, for reasons known only to God and to Victoria's mother.

I thought I was going to stay on that job indefinitely until suddenly when I had a talk with the after-school chain supervisor.
She got a message from the principal that a parent reported that I pulled a child's hair.
The principal told the supervisor to fire me or he will expel the after-school chain from the school.
That left the supervisor with no choice.

I don't know for certain who that parent was, but I have an idea.
