One of our teachers flew the coop!

Well the guy that was at our school that was supposed to go to China for a one week visit, has decided that he is not coming back to Korea. He sent an email to tell the head-office yesterday. That means that the rest of us have to take his classes until we get another teacher. That sucks as we have a new term starting up and we will be mad busy without this extra hiccup.
Oh well, we can manage and as they say in Korea..... Fighting!!!!! Which means by the way; keep going and try hard, but they pronounce it Whiting, which is hilarious.
The only thing about the whole thing is that the Koreans will distrust the teachers even more when things like this happen. This is a business for them and it is not so easy to replace someone that they have invested time and money in. Housing and training and of course salary, which could include air-fare and the such.
I have said before that you don't need to stay at a job that is totally unbearable, but at the other end of the spectrum, you have to realize that this is a big undertaking for a school and you should give the correct notice if you really feel that you must leave. It also benefits any other teachers at the school.
I don't want to lecture here, but I feel that respect has to go both ways and the way this guy left is not the way that it should be. Enough said.......
