I want to thank razoo for saying so much more effeiciently what I tried to say in my own less effecient way in my own posts on this thread.

I want to add that there were five Korean teacher slots at my school in the seven months I was in Seoul. A total of 18! teachers held these positions - meaning there were 13 resignations/firings for various reasons during that time.

Of the ten foreign teacher slots, there was only one teacher (He started an MBA program back in the USA) who left during that time for any reason.

Perhaps, the foreign teachers are NOT the problem.
