There have been arrests from March to June this year, but it seems this is the first report of arrests of foreign university English teachers this year.

It seems as though the authorities wait until the end of the semester to make their busts so that all the uni students have their grades before their foreign profs/teachers are deported.

Alas, I am not naive enough to believe that I am really welcome here. <br /><br />Keep up the good work!<br /><br />I primarily work on behalf or the indentured educated class in the United States, but have recently started a blog about my experiences in South Korea. (I know, it's shocking, right? An expat who's writing about living and working in Korea. Ha). In any event, I'm glad that I've found your blog, and am adding you to my bloglist. <br /><br />-Cryn Johannsen<br />Founder of Education Matters (http://alleducationmatters.blogspot.com/)<br /><br />South of North Korea (http://southofnk.blogspot.com/)Cryn Johannsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08452412213997621242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-46760840211229131652010-06-30T14:46:06.404+09:002010-06-30T14:46:06.404+09:00It's so infuriating to read about it when the ...It's so infuriating to read about it when the words are so obviously skewing the numbers.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14578743779311742562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-22128340817304519812010-06-30T09:02:17.407+09:002010-06-30T09:02:17.407+09:00oooh, cool, I used to live and work near that neig...oooh, cool, I used to live and work near that neighborhood in Bundang.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07149708954524602455noreply@blogger.com
