I believe the previous comment was about visa-holding, language teachers, such as a foreign teacher in a Hakwons.

10-15 years ago midnight runs were more prevalent because you could wait out the expiration of your visa and come back to work for for another company.

The handful of people that I knew who did this had their salaries underpaid or paid late. Sometimes they did it because the company refused to give them the correct benefits or working conditions. The treatment of foreign teachers is so bad that even current government contracts will have clauses that break the Korean labor standards.

The article is talking about actual licensed Korean public school teachers. They have a higher retention rate. But, as the article points out, they do suffer from abusive parents (and sometimes students) and a lack of support from their schools and the government for dealing with them.

Take a look at Knave. It is a parring down of 5e.

Sort of like pudding be a catch all for food 😁

In the US, a university offers at least 1 Master or higher degree in some field. A college's highest degree is an Associate (community college) or Bachelor.

A university will refer to it's smaller degree areas as College such as College of Educational, College of Business. This is to differentiate them from administrative departments. In the same vain, college's will have schools of education or business, ect.

In the UK (by what my Brit friends have taught me) college is more like US high school, and university is the education after that (the post secondary education). My friend's child would be in US high school, but is attending college in England.
