Hi there nic,
I have been trying to find out as much as possible about Korea, I plan to be there in about 6 weeks. What I think so far:
Korea is full of newbie teachers who complain a lot. There are many experienced teachers who don't complain. (and some who do). There are good schools and bosses, there are bad schools and bosses. If a new teacher thinks things are going to be like "back home" he/she is very much mistaken.
My plan, once I have a boss, is to treat my boss with respect, it's he or she who has made the investment in a school that gives me the opportunity to work there. Accept that the school is a business and not a charitable organization for the benefit of foreign teachers. While doing the above, make it clear that I am also a business asset and as such deserve a fair deal.
All this while learning to speak Korean.
I welcome any suggestions or opinions from nic or anyone else with firsthand experience of Korea.
