Quote from: StillInKorea on April 26, 2018, 10:11:17 amThere will be a Korean teacher officially assigned to 'your' class. She is liable for anything that happens and technically she should be in the room with you. She'll no doubt be shopping on her computer, or drinking instant coffee with extremely sweet bread while gossiping about someone with another Korean teacher, but officially she's in the classroom. She'd probably try to pin the blame on you if something happened, but she is responsible.I think that only applies to classes that are part of the textbook curriculum, whereas "after school" classes are different. I used to teach after school classes alone, and I grumbled about it at one of our mandatory monthly POE meetings, and the coordinator told us that schools don't actually have to provide a CoT for those classes.If I remember correctly, Bingsu is a TALK teacher doing all or mostly after school classes. She might be SOL in the coteacher department, unless her school opts to provide her with on out of the kindness of their hearts.

How does that play out for liability purposes, though? They can opt out, but I'm pretty sure the school could and would still be held responsible for anything that happens in the classroom, regardless of its claim, and should anything actually happen they'd still be facing a lot of scrutiny if a KT wasn't present. They might try to shimmy out of it by using some wayward logic or technicalities, but as far as I know it still falls on them because the classroom is still school property being used for school purposes, and most NETs operate under E2 visas.Anyone know otherwise?
Dave Stepz, I know. I've been to her native land a few times, and when my guy friend from London and woman from Liverpool over here use mate and love a certain way, I know what the inflection means. "Fancy a cuppa, love" versus pointing out someone's inexperience on a chat forum and adding " Also sorry love but isn't this your first year?" Come on, we know how that was intended to come across. Not saying it was vicious or she's a bad person, but condescending in the true sense of the word? absolutely. She meant to discredit the person's comment by alluding to their inexperience, not by contradicting their points. Textbook. No need to circle the wagons.
Pennypie: Why would I bring it up? Is that a rhetorical question? If someone had had to have a justifiable reason for bringing things up on here this board would be the tumbleweed populated site that the café has become. I imagine, like most, I'm on here out of sheer boredom with deskwarming. Boredom leads to nit picking. Simple as that. I don't guess there are many of us who are getting on here between work hours.

What's wrong with using vpns? Chrome comes with one built in, kinda.I mean, one shouldn't have to use a VPN, but it's only 30 seconds of effort and then you have that fast and cheap internet... *plus* the satisfaction that your stickin' it to the man, man!

But be more specific, I've spent literally all day just trying to sign in to NEIS, and Internet Explorer isn't playing nice. I'll be a web developer once I get outta here, and it's just boggles the mind that developing for Internet Explorer first (and often only) is the standard here. IE just needs to die.
if i wanted to be a web developer in korea, and i went to university to learn, would they be teaching me to use IE and overlay jpegs on websites? all korean websites are hideous-looking, not very functional and are filled with errors. i don't understand how it's 2018 and this still is the case
