School Hiring NOW 4.7/year!

[Melissa]

Hi did anyone else see that ad in the Japan TImes? The Tokyo Korean School is looking for a full-time teacher April 1st and salary is 4.7 million yen a year. Sounds pretty good for an English teacher. Deadline is March 11th.

I'm undecided about emailing my resume as I like where I'm at now even though the money is lower. If you didn't see the ad I can give you the information.

Kwon, who is accompanying her husband on a four-day state visit to Japan, spent time at the Tokyo Korean School in the capital's Shinjuku Ward, where students gave her flowers and performed traditional Korean music and dances dressed in Korean clothes.

Hi AK why is it such a bad place?

AK lived in Korea for a year. I don't know the whole story but from what he has posted on the subject he was most definitely not a happy camper when he left...

Hi AK why is it such a bad place?

1) It's in Japan
2) It's run by Koreans

If it's like the Korean schools in Osaka then it is a school for Korean residents of Japan (ie mostly families who have lived in Japan for 2 generations or more) who don't want to send their kids to Japanese schools.
