A while ago, I met a fellow native public school teacher who told me she has 7 weeks off school in total, as vacation time. I'm fairly sure she was being honest.

This teacher works in Gyeonggi province. I have a standard 14 days vacation time in my contract.

So, how does a teacher in Gyeonggi, successfully find schools with more than 14 days vacation time?!!

By successfully working out agreements with their schools.

She is probably counting the two weeks home leave for re-signing, too.

Some schools are coooool and let the foreigner off work when school's not in session. EPIK, GEPIK and SMOE don't allow this in the contracts, but the schools are cooooool.

Before I came here I was trying to get a job down there and it was offering 8 weeks of vacation. When I was ready to sign they said no because I wasn't in Korea yet. Shop around, I do believe it's possible.
