- It took five requests to get someone to agree to meet me at the bus stop. The Coordinator just didn't want to bother. I even offered to pay her or a friend of hers to come get me. Still no luck. In the end they did come.
- I asked them to send me a copy of the text book I'd use and they refused.
- The Coordinator sent me on a wild goose chase twice giving me the wrong information on where to go to get the documents for my visa apostilled
- It's in the middle of no where, Miho. Generally, the farther away from Seoul, the worse the school. Though some do get bad jobs in Seoul.
- The director asked few questions during the interview. He really only asked what I did with Black Sheeps.
- The lowest grade a student can get is an 80%.
- With the creation of websites like Happy Campus, it's so easy for students to plagiarize, so don't teach writing in Korea.
- The pay was lower than I got before. I thought it would be okay since I was in the country and doing teacher training. The prices have gone way up since I left in 2007.
- I ignored my impulse to see photos of the apartment I'd be in. Though pictures aren't enough. One needs to check the water and find out if to get a good shower one needs to go into the students' dorms as I did. In this case pictures would be enough. There wasn't one comfortable chair. There were grease stains on the walls. Most of the lights were burnt out. Though I was allowed to fix it all up.
If you have a college degree, you can do better.
