Would you be angry if one of the other foriegn teachers at your school is teaching privates during school hours?

I asked to switch a class with my co-worker, and he can't because he, ugh... has, "an appointment outside of the building."

Basically, since we aren't supposed to leave our school without permission, and it was pretty obvious.... he's teaching privates during school hours. He has a few hours break between classes, and he's doing this.

All last year, I was good to him, and traded when he or his wife needed to.

I'm a little ticked about it.

Do you really think the teacher wanted that bit of information revealed over the Internet?

more power to him. Instead of languishing around with his thumb up his ass during split shift time he is going out and making the most of it.

Are you sure you arent a little jealous there Gollum>?

I don't care if people do privates or not. That said they should be done on a persons own time. Not while they are supposed to be at their own job.

Why not help him out and see if he can help you out when you need it?

I agree that it would be nice if he were to return the favour, but as far as what he does during his time between classes...... well, that's his business.

actually the reason I'm angry with thsi sort of stuff is that like it or not we judged on the actions of other waygooks. If he gets caught then it's going to impact on the OP.

Would probably be fussed in that particular setting, but it also depends on why I'm asking for the class change. If everyone is expected and it's contractually written that everyone should be on premises during school hours, why is he even being allowed to leave in the first place?

However, if that isn't actually enforced, then he is free to do whatever he wants, in the realm of keeping educational goals intact. If I start a Hapkido or boxing class or start studying Korean during my break time and somebody asks to change with me and ruins my schedule, I'm going to say no.

Gollum, are you using this otherwise semi-legit conflict of schedule mask and hide your real, deep burning, unchecked possible greed or jealousy and just jumping on it in opportunistic fashion? It appears that way.

Whatever CLG. It's none of your business Gollum.

You know, I'm beginning to think MBC is right about some stuff.

If the attitude of so teachers in Korea reflects the same percentage as the people who responded negatively about this thread, then I have absolutely no doubt that teachers here represent the bottom of the workforce barrel.

I get the feeling that some of you have no clue whatsoever about being a good employee or providing an honest days work. You're more concerned about the illegal privates you can pull out of your ass during working hours when you're supposed to be teaching at school than you are about much else. Somebody gives you an inch, and you take it a mile with no thought or care of holding up your end of the bargain.

Guys, flame away, but in my opinion, your work ethic sucks the big one. I could go into more detail, but I'll simply state that people with said disrespect for their job often don't keep their jobs for long.
