Have you heard any horror stories about teaching in Korea?
Horror stories like:
- Late payment
- Wild students
- No severance pay
- Crazy co-teachers
- Moldy and stinky housing
Late payment:
In a poorly run hagwon some teachers may recieve payment later than the monthly date they are supposed to.
Wild students:
Some students can be a handful anywhere regardless of whether it's a hagwon or public school.
No severance pay:
In South Korea after completing a year of teaching you are supposed to be given one month's severance pay as a bonus. However, there are cases of teachers getting fired right before the end of their contract so the school doesn't have to give them any severance pay.
Crazy co-teachers:
You can have all kinds of co-teachers. In a hagwon you don't typically work together with a co-teacher in a classroom like you do in a public school, however there will be other native Korean teachers working in that hagwon.
Moldy and stinky housing:
Housing conditions can vary quite a bit from school to school.
