I freely admit it...I've done my fair share of biatching about this country, the job, etc. But really, how's this for a delight: drinking at your public school when students are still there!
First week at my high school. Friday afternoon. One of the teachers comes up to me:"Ooooh. New music room open. Move from three floor to four floor. So we have party." Right-o. Up I went and sure as kimchi there are tons of food and enough beer & soju to knock out a horse. The late afternoon passed pleasantly.
Can you imagine the scandal back home if public school teachers were boozing it up right at the school?! Shytestorm would ensue, for sure. This certainly wasn't my first public school quasi-p*ss up but it never fails to amaze me. Gotta give this place its due sometimes.... |

| It's also common practice for public middle school teachers to GIVE soju to students on overnight school trips. |

| We have piss-ups at school all the time. It doesn't even strike me as the least bit odd anymore. |

I agree. Westerners can be a tad bit uptight about alcohol sometimes. I especially liked the day the maintenance man built a bonfire and roasted some pork in front of the school. We teachers spent lunch-time and a good bit of the afternoon getting soused in the room behind the secretaries' office...then taught.  That might have been the day I told Min-Seok what his name meant in English. |

| I got wasted with my coworkers last week during the day. We don't actually have students who come into our office, but I do phone lessons in the evening. Needless to say, the phone students were impressed with my conversational skills that night. |

There are always a bunch of bottles of soju in the main office at the uni.
Never been offered a drink though... |

| They have drinking at my school but I never get invited because they know I don't drink alcohol |

| We had one of these "parties" yesterday at school too and pretty much everyone got sloshed. My co-teacher snuck an extra 6 pack of hite out under his arm to store in our office. I asked him if he was going to take it home. Of course not, he informed me. It's for the regular drinking that takes place at school when the teachers are "working" late. I always wondered what in the world the faculty could be doing at school until 9pm... |
