Let Me Explain One Thing First

By the way, hagwon 학원 in Korean means institute or academy. These places are private. They are not actual schools but they're similar. There are thousands of them in Korea and they employ many Koreans. Most Korean students attend them. Some spend hours everday in them. Some kids go to maybe one or two per day. Thousands of what Koreans call foreign teachers have come to work in hagwons over the past approximately twenty years.

I had in mind to write this blog for people who know what hagwons are, however I'd like other people to be able to read it and understand also. As time goes on the blog may go in a different direction.
