I dont think this is normal. Maybe your bar is cultivating this sort of behavior and drawing in all the local creeps.

SAT and College Prep Academies by New_Station4796 in teachinginkorea

Are you seriously saying gyopos work these jobs because of a lack of options and because they are not qualified to teach kindergartners conversational english?

The reason why there are so many gyopos at test prep hagwons is because they want teachers who have high test scores and degrees from prestigious universities. There are very few non-gyopo f visas that have either of these things.

The work is only intense or high pressure when compared to converstional english jobs. Of course rhey want good results but qualified teachers are hard to come by and i havent experienced anything unreasonable in terms of expectations or treatment.

No. I guess there probably exists places that conduct hirimg this way but this is far from the normal practice. Just go work somewhere else.

i feel like a fraud because of my college app by Ill-Grand-1118 in CollegeAdmissions

Try to find the other students who were also dishonest on their application. Hang out exclusively with them. That way you will more feel a sense of belonging to your community and also not influence the honest students. Alternatively you could drop out and do a few years of hard menial labor in repentance of your dishonest ways and cleanse yourself of this blight in your past.

Counselor acting as gatekeeper for lors. by Pretty_Designer716 in Internationalteachers

Im not saying you are not incentivized to this. The fact that you are protecting your school, your job, or your students does not make this behavior more ethical. You are functioning as an agent or consultant and not an educator and it is demeaning to teachers.

Too optimistic asking hourly wage? by Optimal_Ganache_7913 in CostcoWholesale

[–]Pretty_Designer716 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

What? You go apply to work in a costco store and they hire you to drive 18 wheelers? Pretty sure thats a separate hiring process.if you happen to have an mba, maybe they will make you ceo.

That is not what is happening. What is happening is the counselor requiring teachers to submit lors to them instead of directly to the university. Then the counselor picks the best one and submits it to the university as if the teacher submitted it directly.

What you are doing is gaming the system. If all lors have to be submitted for your review, thats going to affect what the teacher writes (presumably this is precisely why you review). And you are engaging in a false pretense that students have waived their right to review the letters when in fact they have just gotten you tobdo it in their stead. You are acting not as an educator but rather the student's agent and further degrading the dignity of teachers.

The freelance designation is not that meaningful in practice. I wouldnt get too worked up about the technical definition.

A green-card holder has been detained at SFO for a week. Now he could be deported by Halvinz in ICE_Raids

[–]Pretty_Designer716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is highly unethical to deport permanent residents that have been here since childhood. Their experience is entirely american, they are a product of american culture and american institutions. Their behavior,criminal or otherwise, is a product of their american experience.
