Are you sure you aren't talking about GnB hagwon? The n in that sign is kind of small...
It was kind of a typical screamwon situation.
Personally, I thought the kids were extremely loud and poorly disciplined (welcome to teaching kids, I guess -- it's that way at most schools I've taught at). The kids would be loud and disorderly. Then the hot Korean teachers would whack them. Secretly, the fourth-grade boys were masochists and wanted to be whacked by hot mid-20s Korean women, so they acted up even more.
The curriculum sucked. Same storybook for a whole month. Then a new storybook. The kids get bored of it within three days, and then it's ddongchims, screaming, and playing Nintendo DS under the table.
That said, they paid on time and the co-teachers weren't really pricks the way many co-teachers are. Sure they kept to themselves, but relatively little condescension (probably because they spoke such horrible English -- much worse than my Korean). The principal was relatively nice and cooperative.
In other words, honest, but discipline and curriculum problems. |

If it's GnB - don't do it. |
