Spent a ton of time editing this. Think it's a great glimpse into what teaching in Korea is like on any given day.

How is your typical day different from mine?

Cool video... wish my classes were that small back when I was teaching and yeah, good looking too, I imagine you're at the higher end of the weigookin spectrum for k-girls - should I need a wingman for social adventures in Seoul, I'll PM you

Nice video, man. Your location and the age group you're teaching remind me of my first teaching job in Japan. That was high school, but similar feel to what was in your video.

I teach elementary school here, so... a bit different. But a lot of fun.

Differences.

1. I have to wear shoes and button my shirt all the way up.
2. I don't get a little locker.
3. Your location is much more rural than mine.
4. I don't have a TV. Just a white board. I like the idea of using subtitles etc for a lesson....I think the majority of my classes would really like that.
5. My classes are on average 9-10 kids in size.
6. I go out for lunch...
7. My co-teachers do not come in my classes. I forbid it.
8. I teach elementary kids. (I like Korean Sexy Guy though he seems like a fun kid to teach.)
9. It's dark out when I leave.

There goes your anonymity on Dave's. Foolish move.

Careful where you're posting, you're advertising to an audience of embittered lifers on Dave's.

Responses have been generally positive I'd say.

And as far as anonymity goes...OP looks like he works and lives in BF so I doubt he really cares....he has a youtube channel and all.

Everytime I see a video like this showing a school and it's surroundings I realize how ugly the area I live in is.
That school looks so pretty and quaint how its amongst the mountains.
Nice video

Great vid.

Brings back great memories.

Korean sexy guy will become a star pretty soon.

My kids were all elementary kids and my afterschool lessons were about 10 kids, maybe less maybe more.

Glad you guys enjoyed it.

And yeah this school is a great enviroment to work in. Super laid back. Korean sexy guy makes my day haha.
