Current rant: when I provide helpful information, but nobody fact-checks and all my incredibly clever jokes go completely unnoticed.

The new teacher at my school hasn't received her flight allowance yet either so it sounds like the school is having money problems

Did she tell you directly that you'd get overtime pay for this?
Quote from: moonbrie on November 03, 2016, 03:21:38 pmDid she tell you directly that you'd get overtime pay for this?Yes, each of the teachers taking the class with me will pay me 20,000 in cash per class. It sounds kind of shady...Also, I've only been teaching for 2 months. This sounds like a ridiculous increase in my workload.

Wait.To go from 22 hours a week to 32 hours a week is 10 hours, which I assume is 5 classes of 2 hour sessions. If each teacher is paying 20k per session, and there are 10 teachers, then you are making (10*5*20k) 1,000,000 won per week extra? Geez! Let me know what school you are working at, and I will help relieve you of this terrible burden!

If they are paying you in cash, then this is no longer an afterschool program and instead is private tutoring, which, assuming you are on an E2, is illegal. Just tell them you are uncomfortable with it and that you will not do it.Edit: DMZabductee was much faster at responding. Yeah - I've had this happen a lot of times. Declined it every time. I used to do 6 hours of night classes at the old high school I worked at every week, but those were all above board and paid out by the school directly.

Jujube tea is baller as heck and it smells amazing. Mix that life with some fresh ginger, and you've got a premium tea life going.
No, its... I can't describe it. It's like a bastardization of a tea smell I'm familiar with. But its not jujube, though I have seen some of the teachers drying out some of those, so I'm guessing that tea will be coming soon too.
