I read in another thread something about an election day on April 8th and treating it like a national holiday.
Nobody at my school has heard of it.
Is that specific to some province?

Anybody?

My co-teacher told me it was on the 9th and that we got the day off.... And then came back a week later to tell me that there was no election and that she wasn't sure why she told me we had the day off, lol...

Everyone in public schools in Gyeonggi, at least, should get it off. It's not an official holiday, though, as far as I'm aware. I have to burn a vacation day for it. I believe my co-teachers have to, as well.

I am going on that day, but I will get paid. No vacation time.

There's no way I'm using a day of vacation for that.

If it comes down to it, I'll say I was sick and that I called the school but no one answered the phone Wink
