Tell me a person or Hagwon who wants to wait the 5 months for that check to pan out.<br /><br />They aren't free either. As for illegal teachers, what does that mean exactly. If your ARC isn't up to date, do you count? There's a lot of white collar stuff that foreigners rely on their bosses to sort out that doesn't end up as such that likely makes nearly all of us illegal in some capacity.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03670942813673233406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-81860061935708655632010-07-30T15:58:03.826+09:002010-07-30T15:58:03.826+09:00The molestation case in Deagu was committed by a g...The molestation case in Deagu was committed by a gyopo and a number of the drugs cases were again committed by gyopos.<br /><br />This seams to be omitted by Eun Ung and a number of media sources just refers to them as Americans or native English speakers and then goes on to demonize E2 visa holders.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356521193425548627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-26177659923239410352010-07-26T16:49:23.111+09:002010-07-26T16:49:23.111+09:00Stuart:

All the checks, visa papers, etc. <br />Then there are the Canadians that come here on tourist visas up to six months and suck up a lot of the private tutoring available and lowering the demand and increasing the supply. If immigration and whoever wants a witch hunt, get the people here on tourist visas.<br /><br />Last, WTF is with the unqualified tag being thrown around with AES. The government has set the qualification bar. It's not whatever qualifications he feels like it is and judges to be. <br /><br />If this prick is serious about the children, then take on the Korean teachers and instructors that waited for their 5 years to clear their criminal records.

That sounds pretty fucking serious! So where are the followup questions? Has the interviewer not heard of the 5Ws of news reporting? Does he not want to KNOW more about this obviously dangerous individual? WHO was he? WHERE did this happen? WHEN did this happen? HOW did they catch him? WHAT happened to him after they found out about this?<br /><br />Aren't those the kinds of questions people should be asking Lee Eung-ah every time he lets another story out of his mouth about such dangerous people? Wouldn't a Korean parent wish to know more in order to protect their child from dangerous people such as that?<br /><br />But, no. Nothing. It's all taken at face value, so any bullshit can be said by Eung-ah to inflate his own ego and to continue his hate-filled agenda against all things foreign.Darth Babaganooshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292625818454308095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-45248782369305721272010-07-23T16:07:14.367+09:002010-07-23T16:07:14.367+09:00There's no mention that a lot of these crimes ...There's no mention that a lot of these crimes were committed by ethnic Koreans teaching on an F visa. The case in Deagu recently was committed by man with the family name of Kang.<br /><br />In fact, the only time he even mentions F visa status teachers is to refer to foreigners that are married to Koreans. Most people teaching English here in Korea on an F visa status are ethnic Koreans.<br /><br />As for wanting to hire qualified teachers. The board of education is doing completely the opposite in their public school program. <br /><br />The funding was cut to a 30 million subsidy this year. The subsidy is what the school gets from the board of education for having a native teacher there on the government issued EPIK or GEPIK program.<br /><br />This covers the salary for a level 3 teacher. A level 3 teacher is somebody who has no teaching experience and no teaching qualifications. The school has to foot the bill from their own budget if they want to hire anybody else with more experience or qualifications.<br /><br />Because of this the schools have been telling recruiters not to send them the resumes of experienced teachers because they are only interesting in hiring a level 3 or level 2 teachers.<br /><br />I've been told by 3 recruiters so far that it would be very difficult to get any public school job now because I'm too "qualified".<br /><br />I confronted the board of education over this matter and they have refused to respond.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356521193425548627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-79762371350794889302010-07-23T15:28:19.482+09:002010-07-23T15:28:19.482+09:00That makes much more sense.
