How to get here. Newer posts →. Korea or Bust: Survival Essentials. June 29, 2012. Preparing to traverse thousands of miles for a new job is stressful enough. Add on top of that p acking your belongings into two bags. What will I need? What won’t I need? What will I need, but don’t even know I’ll need until the situation presents itself? I kept worrying that I would over pack or forget something essential. I started the first five on my old blog. You can see them here. My kids love Angry Birds! It does n...

Teaching English Sucks in Korea: 31. Summary
http://teachingenglishsucksinkorea.blogspot.com/2010/02/31-summary.html
Teaching English Sucks in Korea. Thursday, February 4, 2010. Strange to think about, the largest numbers of people that come to Korea are English teachers. These government programs which are supposed to hire and, presumably, retain good teachers are failing miserable to do so. For those that have a very good time here in Korea, though rare, great for them. If only everyone could be so lucky. They will tell others of their experiences one way or another. They like to pretend they have power and use the w...

Teaching English Sucks in Korea: 27. KT's Thoughts of NETS
http://teachingenglishsucksinkorea.blogspot.com/2010/02/27-kts-thoughts-of-nets.html
Teaching English Sucks in Korea. Thursday, February 4, 2010. 27 KT's Thoughts of NETS. Thoughts of what Korean teachers think of English native teachers:. We are meaningless to them. We are always ignorant to them, no matter your degree, your knowledge, and your ability – here it’s based on age and we’re generally younger by about 10 years. We are showing their giant inadequacy at teaching English. All they know how to do is follow a script; they are script kiddies of the non-technical teaching world.

I hate teaching in korea: December 2009
http://ihateteachinginkorea.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
I hate teaching in korea. DO NOT come to South Korea. Monday, December 28, 2009. Must Read] A Native English Teacher’s Declaration. I believe that the Korean education system is being deliberately abused by those who have the power to fix it. But who am I to say such things. What about the native English teacher, what happens to them in this world of deceit? Who are we, to speak our minds to the face of failure? The discontented voices of thousands of native English teachers are meaningless to the Korean...

Teaching English Sucks in Korea: 16. Various Other Faculty
http://teachingenglishsucksinkorea.blogspot.com/2010/02/16-various-other-faculty.html
Teaching English Sucks in Korea. Thursday, February 4, 2010. 16 Various Other Faculty. A few members of the faculty are nice and you will run into them, but most are cold and anti-social. You’ll tend to get a lot of attention at first from everyone and then ignored from then on. As it was suggested, don’t tell them anything they can gossip about you, because they will, you are the rumor of the day, any day. The copier/handy man and sidekick are slightly annoying. I pretend not to understand him as well.

Teaching English Sucks in Korea: 30. Everything Else
http://teachingenglishsucksinkorea.blogspot.com/2010/02/30-everything-else.html
Teaching English Sucks in Korea. Thursday, February 4, 2010. Often, you’ll have to wonder if doing something is okay… just do it until they tell you that it’s not. They’re not confrontational and it’ll take them a long time to actually build up the courage to tell you otherwise. Also, their logic isn’t very sound, so feel free to poke holes in it at will… I found it quite entertaining. This school is spending money left and right on everything but education. New windows, new parking. I have seen them tea...
