I've said it before. Probably the greatest obstacle Korean kids face in really learning English are their Korean mothers. Their batshit, snobby, hypersensitive, over-indulging, dumbfuck cunt mothers.
so how did YOU deal with those kinds of batshit, snobby, hypersensitive, over-indulging, dumbfuck cunt mothers? Did you bend over and take shit like that or did you do what Ryan did? I dont know what is considered normal in Korea but I also find the attitude of the school in this instance to be rather appalling.
I had numerous similar situations last year. Always refused to apologize, and in the last instance told my boss to go fuck himself, along with a similar suggestion in Korean and hand gesture just to make sure the point got across, walked out of the room and went home.
I was fired a few days later (just weeks before the end of my contract and completion bonus), but it was more or less worth it.
The attitude of the school is appalling, but it's not really out of the hagwon norm. Foreigners in general are at the very bottom and outside of the social order here, and foreign teachers all the more so. As shit rolls downhill, it's always gonna land right on the first convenient westerner.
One of the problems (indeed the greatest problem) is how it happened.
See, if he came up to me, and asked me what happened and why I think it happened, then simply said he understood I didn't do anything wrong (which was very clear), and ASK if I would be willing to write a fake apology just so we can appease the nutty mother, I probably would have gone along with it. Instead, he came to me, insulted me and my teaching abilities, and started hurling demands in my face. Then he proceeded to insult me, and was surprised when I wouldn't sit and take it.
That's bad management, and he's an asshole. Support your fucking staff.
