So, who holds the record for time spent teaching at the same school?

[Chet Wautlands]

I've been at my school for two and a half months. Anyone top that?

[fromtheuk]

Not me I suppose, but I hope to begin my third year at the same school, in May.

Three years, seven months. I really should be looking for something more in the way of career progression but I'm just too comfortable at this job.

I think Antonio the Great's been at his for 5+.

[Chet Wautlands]

I humbly withdraw my name from the running. I've had a great campaign, but I realize now that I can't win.

[BS.Dos.]

You gave it your best shot. Nobody can take that away from you. If there was a prize for effort, I'm sure you'd be up there with the best of them. But, alas, there isn't.

Come back in a couple of years.

I might be able to win the longest at a Hagwon. Going on 7 years.

Theres a guy in my town who's been at the same hagwon over 10 years.

I've been 8 years in the same local PS system. We've got 4 middle schools here & I get rotated periodically but the cast of characters remains the same & its come to feel like the same job whichever school I start the year. Does that count?

[TheUrbanMyth]

Three years at my last P.S.

[D.D.]

If I stay more than two years at this job I will found walking the streets shouting over and over again "Big bang is not an international band" in between long sips of soju.

I also might become insane from hearing gee one too many times.

3rd year at the same school. Co-teacher is great, just got a brand new 33 pyong apartment. Not too shabby. I know one guy who taught on a little island with about 80 students for 5 years (EPIK).
