In response to Korea: Carrot Korea - any info? (Leona)

All of these Korean Phone English schools are similar. The pay comes out to about $8 an hour if you do the progress reports and write the daily comments. You can make around $400 a wk if you're lucky. The students will bombard you with the worst English you've ever heard. The men are really obnoxious and talk like neanderthals. They all seem harmless at first though.

They live in a society where it's OK to make racist and sexist remarks very casually. For example, even though they may have black English teachers on the other end of the phone and not realize it, they'll say they're afraid of black people and make a ton of other insulting remarks.

And in no time, you'll grow to hate your students -- I mean hate them. I'm not joking. They think Americans exist to entertain them. They're unbelievably stupid. Correcting their English and actually trying to help them is a waste of time. They drone on and on as if they're constipated. A great deal of the time, your students will be drunk.

Don't even think about getting on a plane and going to that country to teach.
