I am being interviewed for a October 1st placement at Ilsan Wonderland. Given that Wonderland schools have quite a bad rep, I am looking for information to see if this position is worth pursuing...

Anyone have the scoop on this particular Wonderland? I would also appreciate any comments on their teaching methods, which seem rather unusual.

thanks!

You might want to have a look at http://www.geocities.com/prisonerofwonderland/

If you cannot view geocities because the fascist Korean government has blocked them you need to go to http://unipeak.com and then add in the above site.

A whole bunch of posts, unrelated to Ilsan Wonderland, but about other individual Wonderland schools, starting in 3...2...1...

Thanks, Superhero. I have already seen the PofW site...but I am looking for information about a particular school in Ilsan. It has been my impression that these franchised schools can really vary in quality.
thanks...

This is helpful too: http://www.efl-law.com/KETA.html

Yeah, franchised schools can vary, but Wonderland seems to have a really bad rep overall. There's lots of hagwons out there...if I were you I'd go with a non-Wonderland school (and of course do your research on this non-Wonderland school too); your odds would probably be better for landing a decent position.

Go for it Wonderland, just like the Liberals in Canada deserve your trust, your money and your confidence.

Don't take the advice of "Wonderland is bad, all Wonderlands are evil! Stay away!"

You have the right idea, check out the particular school. I work at a Wonderland, and I love it. My old hagwon was pure crap compared to this place. The chain may not have a good name (well-deserved or not), but individual schools may be ok.
