I recently returned home after teaching out of the country for 5 years and was fortunate and found an abundance of teaching positions and far too much work. The only thing was that they were Korean schools and were run by Koreans. They were lovely people as were the students but they brought with them their Korean laws.
The contract they wanted me to sign at one school was not in accordance to the labor laws of our country and you were not allowed to take time off for illness.
I felt as though I had never left Korea.

I have decided to stop teaching after this year and will attend university to work on a Masters program in Europe.

Hopefully, this will be a start in a new direction. There are many ESL jobs in Canada and America for people who might like to teach there.
