So I might die...

The start of next week is what every child waits for all year, every child except Korean children that is. Next week is the start of summer vacation. For me summer vacation always meant heading to Dorset for the summer and not thinking about school, these poor kids must dread summer vacation arriving.

Here the start of summer vacation for public schools also starts 'Summer Intensives,' for the private schools.

I don't know if I've ever actually gone into what a Korean kid's school life is like: 8 am til 1 pm is public school, 2 pm and onwards til 11 pm is Hagwon's or Academy's where they study English, science, math, music, martial arts, and whatever else their parents can cram into a 24 hour day.

So the Hagwon's and Academies offer summer intensives, where we teach twice as much and make our monthly sessions 20 classes intstead of 12, which means we see each kid every day.

Currently I teach about 5 or 6 classes a day. Next week I start teaching 11 classes a day. On the plus side I will teach about 50 extra classes next month which are considered over time pay in my contract....woo hoo....but 11 classes a day! If I don't kill myself there is a good chance I will kill one of my students, I have a couple potential victims already picked out (muh haha ha *evil laugh*)

So if I don't post a lot next month, or sound like a raving bitch in what I do post, consider this to be your forewarning.
