I read your post about how Korea gets the "bad minority" from English countries. I have NO sympathy for your complaints for the following reasons:

1) Whatever shortcomings the foreigners have in the classroom are usually a result of lack of experience or education. Pay more and the more qualified teachers would come to Korea.

2) Even with the low standards in Korea, most foreigners could find decent jobs in their home country. They come to Korea for change and if male, for women. But they don't have to be in Korea, get that through your arrogant head. Its a marketplace, idiot. They're paid some money to work in crappy conditions and experience a new culture. If it was only about money they wouldn't be there. But together, those factors (money, new experience, sometimes women) are enough to bring them out of their home countries. But they're not "bums" at home. Which is why they don't like to be treated like "bums" when they're in Korea.

3) Whatever behavioural problems the foreigners exhibit are a result of not taking Korean schools seriously. Why? Maybe because half the time they are SCAMMED BY CRIMINALS RUNNING THE SCHOOLS. Try imposing decent moral and legal standards regarding employment contracts and the treatment of employees, and maybe foreigners would be more respectful.

4) Your comment "not a word about all the foreigners teaching illegally...not paying taxes" is so ridiculous I don't know where to begin. They can only teach illegally if Koreans are eager to participate in the illegality, for one. Secondly, it is widely known that many of the schools themselves are cheating the Korean government out of taxes. Try having a real law abiding economy.

5) Even if Korea were in fact a funtional and law abiding society I would still have no sympathy for your complaints because it is widely known that KOREA IS F*@K!NG RACIST. If you hired people based on their qualifications instead of their RACE you might find that the quality improves, you beligerent f*@k!ng racist. And the more that whites realize that you favour them due to your racism the less they (or anyone else from a western country) will ever respect you.
