Do you like it? Do you wish you were in a different workplace? If so, where and why?

I work at a company. It's not for everyone, definitely, but I'm satisfied enough.

I ticked "university", but it's really the university's hogwon, but the courses are for credit.

In many ways it feels like the best of both worlds. I teach small classes (max. 12 for conversation classes), and students are sorted by level instead of by major, but I also have actual grades that I can use to help keep the students motivated. The only downside is the early morning beginnings.

So far so good.

Private high school and middle school. Love it. The middle school kids can be bratty and giddy sometimes but on the whole the students are wonderful. The staff has been very kind and respectful to me. The job has its challenges but I love working here.

I hope that if you teach middleschoolers you would report any sex predator abusing them. Even if it is a "hot woman you would love to have done when you were 13".

Of course I would. If it were a guy I'd be sure to try to *beep* him up, too.

If you taught high school I suppose you'd go postal on a female teacher patting a girl on the ass since there's no difference between men and women in positions of authority?

I wonder how many of those who checked public school are actually after school programs which I would consider a hogwan position.

I think the majority still are. I suspect that now that it's after lunchtime the number of people checking hogwan will increase.

hagwon. Wouldn't want to work elsewhere as I like small classes. 16 per class here and that is quite enough.

What the hell constitutes "Other" anyway? Gigolo? Goat inspector?
