I have to pay for both sides of my airfare and my "year" is up. I love Korea but I need to see the states. That was my plan and I'm sticking to it. I am going to take the expat's advice and make up an excuse and fulfill my year that I said I was going to before I was exposed to treachery and lies. I've had one terrible experience and one unfortunate one. All in all, I'd do it again now that I know the deal! Thanks for the input guys!

We are still friends to this day. I taught History in the states and am far more qualified than my peers. I did have a minor dispute with the first hagwon but all other things were done diplomatically. I am not a problem. I am a professional. Sometimes the cultural barrier is difficult but in 9 months I've never missed a day or mistreated a staff member.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11132815514911125774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417613683563024050.post-45665310047523234992009-06-11T09:46:23.705+09:002009-06-11T09:46:23.705+09:00Both of you are spot on.

I try to be as non-confrontational as possible, but I think you're on to something with your second comment. I've only known a couple people who have been through as many contracts in such a short amount of time and both of them were the actually the problem.<br /><br />Thanks guys...The Expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795876773477053551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417613683563024050.post-65419800537516693532009-06-11T07:14:01.474+09:002009-06-11T07:14:01.474+09:00Yeah, I kind of think you should:
(1) do your home...Yeah, I kind of think you should:<br />(1) do your homework and not sign with bad schools.<br />(2) do a little soul-searching to make sure you're not the common demoninator (after all you're going to break three contracts).<br />(3) not go into a school with the idea of abruptly leaving. Take your vacation now, as the previous poster said, and come back to do a full year. <br /><br />I know that there are schools that don't honor their contract, but you shouldn't be breaking them yourself. Not only does it make you look unprofessional and contribute to an unpleasant stay in Korea, but it reflects poorly on all the NSETs Korea imports.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07149708954524602455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417613683563024050.post-27454628608139760052009-06-10T23:58:30.085+09:002009-06-10T23:58:30.085+09:00Ah, the proverbial and mythical blacklist. While I...Ah, the proverbial and mythical blacklist. While I have yet to hear first-hand (or reliable second-hand) stories of said blacklists, the Korean Immigration Service seems not organized enough to make such a blacklist unrealistic. Perhaps the hagwon association keeps one that they check before making a hire - but that seems a bit disorganized...<br /><br />On a practical note to the original question - consider taking your vacation now, THEN come back to Korea... At least then you're not deceiving a school, damaging whatever reputation English teachers in Korea have, and can avoid being a blacklist - whether real or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
