JUst a warning to anyone looking for Jobs in Jeonju, Korea. Look out for Top Hagwan. They have eight locations in Jeonju. They have been pulling lots of BS, trying to fire teachers before the end of their contracts, so they avoid buying airline tickets and paying severance. Also, they are not enrolling teachers in the Pension Program, and management is notorius for ripping students off on "utility" bills. Spread the word. Top is evil.

haha very funny it's kind of obvious who wrote this and I do agree with the pension issue but the other parts it's all bs you know what always being late for classes, no responsibility, insulting students with racial comments, showing up classes drunk, canceling classes or just dissapering from class, just sitting down and doing nothing for 30 minutes in class while expecting students to just read books, whining about being ripped off your pay which is what? 2,000 won or which you should whine to yourself that you can't calculate.................... I am a teacher and i do feel like sometimes I am gettin screwed but on the other hand you should have been fired a long time ago. You are one of the people that are ruining the reputation of foreign teachers.

And from the nature of the language used in your rebuttal post, I assume you are the director (not a teacher - liar, liar, pants on fire) of the aforementioned hakwon.

A wolf in sheep's clothing to be sure.

Typical hakwon tactics; don't rebut the claims, attack the complainant.

Pension issue alone is illegal!

Hakwons doing any illegal practice to save a buck are sh*t hakwons that always end up screwing you every little chance they get.

Buddy, I agree that your English is decent but you don't pass for a native speaker by long shot. I especially love "the gettin' screwed." I know that's how it sounds when it's spoken but we don't actually spell it that way.

And yes, it does only further illigitimize your school to come on here and lie about who you are. Learn a knew English phrase: "Where there's smoke there's fire."

I don't think Charlee is even human. Probably a bot programmed to defend dodgy hagwons.
