I am a teacher from the U.K. I have taught in , in Korea and Japan. The reason I left Japan last year the school-owned house was very expensive! But I would go back, if I got a better deal
I liked Korea because there's no rent, and I had been there before, a long while ago. People teaching in public schools in 2004 had told me that they got long vacations, and good conditions.Well I applied for public school jobs in 2008. But the application was too complex. I couldn't devote all day to EPIK WHEN i WORKED AT HOME.So I couldn't go.
I applied recently, having all the correct forms. But the lady who called from EPIK was impolite. The recruiter had sent her an incomplete form and I was blamed for this. She was from North Korea.
I have been told tthat all the new rules are because a pedophile was caught. Okay, but he had left Korea a while back. He was only a suspect.
So I concluded this was all just politics. Recently I got an e-mail from a hagwon saying that they don't require the new forms?
Why is this? Should we TEFL teachers have a union? I believe we should. |

That is a mighty big leap. From public school employment to forming a union.
Sounds like a phoney post to me in a weak attempt to bring up an ATEK discussion without going to the appropriate thread. |
