The annual change will happen in the next few days.

Your co-teachers 'SHOULD' know by now if they're changing schools or not....

They may choose to tell you if they're going, or they might just �disappear�Twisted Evil

Your comfortable, muffin scoffing schedule might abruptly chance and you might be getting a new CT from hell! Razz

Your friendly English speaking principal, who loves all things Englisheeeeee might change to an old guy, who's got 1 year to go till retirement, don't care about anything and takes a sick pleasure from torturing the poor school NET - changing your holiday dates at the final moment.....Making you change house (into a rat infested apt), so they can spend the rest of the house money on soju. Razz

Roll up, roll up - let the changes roll! Smile

(or nothing will change, or you will get wonderful new CT's and principals!) Wink

I'm ready to roll the dice.

Whatever happens, I'm capable of training them. Razz

I always wondered why they are forced to change schools. There are some teachers back home are with this same district for 30-40 years!

Prevent things like bribe taking, teachers being able to advance instead of the principal favoring certain teachers for too long, etc. Changes things up too. It's only the public schools, in those public-private schools teachers can stay their whole careers at one school. Depends how the private school's foundation is run and how many schools they own.

Three coteachers are leaving at my middle school. I've only got 3 weeks left at this school though and then I will be transferred.

One is retiring. I will miss teaching with her. For an old ajumma, she was the coolest coteacher I've ever had. Told me to leave early (she wasn't my main coteacher responsible for me) on short days and some desk warming days, helped me get a brand new tv for my apartment, and helpedme with my Korean. All the other teachers in school are pretty much afraid of her lol.

The other one is changing schools. She really didn't care what I did.

Another one is going on maternity leave.

I hope my new school will be as laidback as this one has been.

Really, I change schools every year. It's me who's in and out and not them. (Well, maybe some of them too.)

That's okay; the Dave's community isn't judgmental.

There's nothing wrong with being a teen mum! Very Happy
