I suspect your fear that "korea only wants 25 yr old women, no experience required" for next year might be correct.

I'm seeing more evidence of this in esler- demographics now...

* Just out of interest, is anyone renewing at their school because of the recession? Its really time for me to change schools again but I'm a little apprehensive that jobs are going to be scarce next year and they aren't going to be employing non-american non-blondes.

"We learn from each other. Yes, I'll teach you Christianity, my dear Bushman, if you tell me how to grow a pecker like yours."


I stopped reading here. I'm pretty sure this goes into some comparison where esl teachers are asking the 'natives' something outlandish.



Steve, you suck at writing, teaching (yes, I've seen you teach at the Busan EPIC training) and nobody takes you seriously.

Please unplug your internet and find a pier to walk off of.

Saw it was by Steve and automatically knew it was gonna be a TL:DR situation. One word would be too much.

Perhaps, but if people would view the sarcasm/humor of it, there is a message. You shouldn't cry out over something so blatantly tongue in cheek. If you make fun of everyone, you cannot point the finger at anyone.

I disagree. He could communicate the message without resorting to offensive stereotypes - or if he can't, he should stop writing.

Ineffective, Incoherent, Insensitive, Interesting-not.

Makes Brian Deutsch's sarcasm look like naive bluntness.

Swiftian Satire, this is not.

After reading the article it seems that Schertzer is right where he belongs - living with his daddy and mommy and sponging off their resources to try to find a loww level worthless job. YOU GO BOY! Pretty soon he'll be whining and blaming all us because he can't get a job or get laid and he's still 40+and living at home.
