 |
|
I interviewed at a school for a position that pays 2.4 mil won. From what I can tell from the current and former teachers, everyone the school has hired is in their late 20s/30s and has more experience in eduction than your typical teacher straight out of undergrad. Is this the type of good hagwon job that I am read about on eslcafe.com but never seems to exist?
Thanks,
Tactical Buddhist |

There's a very popular hagwon in Pohang (sorry, can't remember their name) that only hires experienced/qualified teachers.
It's very popular with Korean mums. |

So what tactics do you utilize towards the end of Buddhism? |

Tacticalbuddhist,
Slightly higher base pay, and slightly more experienced (and possibly more professional/settled) teachers can indeed make a better job experience. Even a small improvement in certain areas can make a job MUCH better. I don't know if the one you were offered is one of the "great ones," but it might be, and the things you mention are the things I would look for...if housing is also bigger/better, then the teachers are also probably much happier, and higher teacher morale makes a MUCH more pleasant work experience. I hope you did indeed land one of the good ones! Good luck! |

The end of Buddhism? I don't follow. |

End as in a goal. If you're a tactical Buddhist, in your pursuit of Buddhism, what are your tactics? |

| A professor of mine in grad school started calling me a 'tactical buddhist' after I suggested arming victims of genocides with AK-47s to give themselves a fighting chance. |

Most victims of genocide are dead. |

In the case of attempted genocides which fail to eliminate the entire target population (which is the case with most genocides), I think it's reasonable to label the survivors victims of genocide. They've certainly been harmed, and and the act of genocide is certainly what caused said harm. |

Like System of a Down--well, several generations removed (does that make sense? I never had a firm grasp over "generation(s) removed). |

The Pedantic Semantic� agrees, but thinks that the post was poorly worded. |
