Haha, nice try. The rant is: many, many people in the world are overly confident and think they know everything, when in fact they are woefully ignorant. That extends to waygook.org as well. Tons of vapid fools (Obama haters, etc.) who don't know what they're talking about...but think they do.

Quote from: Life Improvement on September 08, 2016, 09:20:03 pmAmericans think the economy is in far worse shape than it is.The U.S. unemployment rate is only 4.9%, but 57% of Americans believe it's a lot higher than that, according to a new survey by the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University.The general public has "extremely little factual knowledge" about the job market and labor force, Rutgers found.It's another example of how experts on Wall Street and in Washington see the economy differently than the regular Joe. Many of the nation's top economic experts say that America is "near full employment." The unemployment rate has actually been at or below 5% for almost a year -- millions of people have found jobs in what is the best period of hiring since the late 1990s.But regular people appear to have their doubts about how healthy America's employment picture is. Nearly a third of those survey by Rutgers believe unemployment is actually at 9%, or higher.Republican candidate Donald Trump has tapped into this confusion. He has repeatedly called the official unemployment rate a "joke" and a even "hoax."It's not just the unemployment rate that people get wrong. Americans also greatly overestimate the number of workers who are represented by unions and how many workers are foreign born.First, Steelrails and now, ladies and gentlemen, we have World Traveler. I understand. I mean since eslcafe banned conversation, there has to be somewhere to go, right?

Are you ****** kidding me. In addition to summer and winter English camps that everyone has to do, *I* suffered through having to do a spring camp in May, and just found out I have to do fall camp in September and October. I get paid extra, but Jesus Christ whose ****** idea is this shit.

I understand. I mean since eslcafe banned conversation, there has to be somewhere to go, right? Yep, that's him. Now that Dave's has gone down the tubes, they've migrated over here. This guy is just flat out weird..he posts about how the economy back in the US is so good(even though many people on here aren't from the US) and that teachers here simply don't make enough. He actually thinks people are going to go, " Damn, that Life Improvement guy is right. I'll drop my easy no stress gig and go back to the US because the government(corrupt as ****) says that the unemployment figure is so low". Said nobody ever. My guess is that he stayed in Korea for years, went back home and is either unemployed or working some shit office job. And probably lives back home with mommy. Sucks to be you, Life Improvement. PS Obama sucks donkey ass.

They make it difficult to say "no" and then throw a tantrum when you do it anyway, so a lot of teachers just go with it to maintain a good working relationship with the school.My secondary school tried to pull that crap on me last year but my main school's coT got involved and he wouldn't let them do it. They argued for two days over it, got really heated -- my coT even hung up on them once. I was lucky that I had such an awesome (and senior) coT.

if it's public school they can make you teach up to 26 hours per week before you can refuse. so you can be made to do 4 hours of mandatory overtime per week, but of course they have to pay you for it.anything over 26 hours and you have the right to refuse.

I'll have to look at mine when I get home, but my coT last year was pretty adamant that my secondary school could not force me to work any amount of overtime. He fought so hard for me (and won).
