there are TWO UNI schools in korea, and i believe they are separately owned. we're small, we're staying small, and if something goes down, we'll know about it right away.

its literally a mom and pop operation. the owners are a young couple (early 30's) with two kids. two secretaries. 12 teachers. somewhere in the neighborhood of 350 students. and for korea, thats big. i dont know of any chains over here. thats probably a good thing

i posted this on the esl thread, but it got buried, so i'll re-post here:

a few days ago one of the younger kids (tonya) was heard to say "i dont like Fecher". yesterday, i told her i heard what she said. i didnt make a big deal out of it, just ribbed her a little bit about it, cuz shes a really good kid and fun to teach. i think she must have felt a little guilty, because today she handed me a note. the note said that she likes me because i teach her and i make her smart. big awwwwwwwwww moment

anyways, thats just one of the reasons why i have changed my mind about what i want to do. if i am going to do this as a profession, i absolutely DO want to teach elementary, and am not going to just focus on pre-college level students.

3 and 4 oclock are mostly 8, 9, 10 year olds. theyre annoying because its so much work keeping them focused

at 7 and 8 oclock i have 13,14,15 year olds, theyre too cool, they cant be bothered

11,12 year olds are the best (generally 5 and 6 oclock). theyve settled down, but theyre not above it all yet
