I wish they always just put holidays on the Monday. I know a day off is a day off, but having it in the middle of the week just means we essentially have two Mondays to deal with in the space of a week

I thought my coteacher last year was psychotic, but your MT takes the cake. basically my Mt came to me and told me I had to pay $40 a month for the monthly hweshiks.I had to pay 3 months in advance and I asked if I could wire her the money and she said that cash was better. This was like my second week at the school and I still trusted her and we were told during orientation that we probably would have to pay a couple months up front so I didn't really think to question it.Yesterday the head teacher asked me if I had gone to any of the dinners and I told him no, that I had never been invited.I asked him when they were, he said the school only has one once a semester but every month the teachers will get together and have one. Part of me knew that they were just purposely not inviting me, but another part of me was just hoping that there hadn't been one. But nope looks like I got ****** scammed.
Speaking tests begin next week. Dreading.
Mandatory CPR training in Korean again. I explained to my co-teacher that it wasn't appropriate for me to attend a Korean CPR training session because I won't understand and it could end up being dangerous if I'm recorded as being CPR trained when I'm not."All teachers must attend."....I need to go do something distracting because thinking about health and safety here is making my blood boil.

I don't suppose they'll stop serving lunch, though."Didn't someone do the Heimlich maneuver?""I don't know."I found a brief article about it here. Seems that the student choked in the classroom during class and died in hospital. Did anyone try the Heimlich? Did they know it? Did they do CPR instead? Is the Heimlich maneuver taught to school staff? Where was the school nurse? I need to go do something distracting because thinking about health and safety here is making my blood boil.
Make them not want you there. Question every instruction: I don't understand, can you say in English please?They will soon tire of having to put effort into something and excuse you from future endeavours.
