10 Things I won’t miss about Hagwons

1.N-n-n-no block vacation – just the odd long weekend.
2.Badly behaved and sometimes rude, spoiled kids.
3.No respect or feeling of being at all valued.Might as well be 20 years old with no exp. and only a BA (in Geography…)
4.Interference in teaching methodology.
5.Ajoshi hagwon bosses.
6.Having to teach 4 hours straight without a break.
7.Not done till 1030pm
8.Being unavailable for any week day evening appointments.
9.Kids’ moms.
10. Tiny teachers’ room
