Then and Now

I know that Yes Youngdo may be a much better place to work for than it was 2, 5 or 10 years ago. (I'm not sure how long foreign teachers have been there.) I'm also aware that there may be a huge difference between branches or depending on which manager you work for.

Some of the pics posted online are much nicer than what I remember. The classroooms seem bigger and nicer. The entrance and office I saw looked better. (Of course that teacher may have been at a different branch.) I think it's great! I don't want teachers to go through what I went through.

This is a short video of a classroom. I'm not sure when this was made. I guess it's recent. I can tell you for sure it's nicer than the classroom I had! As I wrote before it had no space, desks crammed together, no center aisle and only one picture on the wall. It was hard to do much with your classroom. I never saw any decorations we could put up, nor did the managers ever talk about this. http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=uts7SeLECIc

If a young, new teacher can begin a contract with Yes Youngdo now and finish successfully, receive all their pay, bonus, etc. and have a wonderful time, that's great! ABSOLUTELY! That's the way it should be! It would be great if every sincere teacher who comes to Korea can have this!
