[08:25] difficult to start out, but after 3 months i was enjoying it a lot :) because by that point i knew the curriculum well and i was a lot more confident than when i started [08:25] good ty georgelappies and you? [08:25] i am not sure i could stand all the frustration teachers here have to deal with [08:25] frustration? [08:25] we got both georges here today [08:26] the dep of education, the have insane adminfrom what i understand [08:26] i think teaching is one of the most rewarding jobs [08:26] haha Cantide you will have to forget all the slang [08:26] ah, well of course that varies depending on where you teach :p [08:26] Kilos, I barely use slang so I will be fine :P [08:26] but they most likely know it all already [08:26] not South African slang they don't :P [08:27] students are curious about slang, and it helps them to function in the real world, but yeah, i'd not something i'd teach unless asked [08:27] they will most likely "hey" you when you say morning class [08:27] it's not * [08:27] nah, Koreans have too much respect for that [08:27] ah [08:27] teachers are idolized there [08:27] as they should be [08:28] as long as you teach them well, they will respect you and do anything you ask of them, not like here [08:29] teachers are resposible for the future of a country [08:29] yeah [08:29] so are students though [08:30] it's a combined effort [08:30] and we just have the wrong mentality in our country - no one wants to learn [08:30] yip the teacher molds them [08:30] you can't teach someone who isn't interested [08:30] good thank Kilos :) [08:31] well i would not say no one, and generally those who do are too easily influenced by the others [08:31] yeah, i'm generalizing a bit :p [08:31] one day i will put a row of smileys here, to make up for not using them [08:31] :) [08:31] * Cantide looks forward to that day [08:31] hehe [08:32] easiest one is <3 [08:32] i found out the other day that there are 75 or so schools in kzn that do not offer maths for matric [08:32] thats bad amge [08:32] heh [08:32] magespawn: too [08:32] i heard that our country has the second worst education in the world when it comes to maths and science [08:33] one of my friends that matriculated in pinetown said he didn't have a science teacher for the last two years of high school :< [08:33] ouch [08:34] madness, i consider maths and languages the core of any education [08:34] most of our good teachers haveleft for greener pastures [08:34] sad [08:35] yeah [08:36] we are very fortunate with my kids primary school, awesome teachers with tons of experience [08:36] good [08:37] nice :) [08:37] private schools are expensive, but worth it [08:38] (if you can afford it) [08:48] Cantide: any idea what the cost of living is like there? i see the exchange rate to the dollar is high, but does not mean much without context [08:49] cost of livinge versus typical income? [08:51] All Koreans speak and write the same language, which has been a decisive factor in forging their strong national identity. taken from here http://www.korea.net/AboutKorea/Korea-at-a-Glance/Facts-about-Korea [08:57] magespawn, i should be earning 2.5 to 3 million won a month [08:58] in rands that's about 23 000 a month [08:58] sounds a lot [08:58] and my rent will be something like 3000 a month [08:58] public transport is cheap and convenient [08:58] and food is a similar price to here [08:59] so i should be able to save about R 15 000 a month easily [08:59] electronics are cheaper, too [08:59] nice [08:59] and clothing was cheaper [08:59] i bought an Intel 330 series 120 GB SSD there in November for about R 950 [08:59] and i saw it here the other day for R 1699 [09:00] maybe start an export business, lol [09:00] lol [09:00] i have a Korean friend who wants to do that [09:00] and he was asking about exporting to SA [09:00] but i know nothing about such things :p [09:00] i wonder what the transport cost are like [09:01] hmm [09:01] i was looking into getting stuff from china [09:01] i'm not sure about it [09:01] would be good to have a friend in shipping :p [09:02] yes it would, altough a lot of the shipping/freight companies offer very complete services [09:04] well if you need an sa partner you know where to find me [09:04] lol [09:04] :p [09:04] well, my plan is to teach [09:04] but i don't intend doing it for the rest of my life [09:05] so yeah, i will be looking at other jobs / opportunities while i'm there, and hopefully get into something else after about 5 - 10 years of teaching [09:05] (once i've learnt the language) [09:07] you seem to be doing quite well in that area [09:08] eh [09:08] well, i lost my teacher :p [09:08] but i will take lessons once i'm there [09:09] there are few link here http://www.korea.net/AboutKorea/Korea-at-a-Glance/Facts-about-Korea if need a headstart [09:10] hehe [09:10] i think i know 90% of what's on that page :D [09:13] sup [09:14] hey Symmetria :) [09:14] http://www.alstonnetworks.net/presentations/camera.jpg [09:14] check new toy ;p [09:16] whooa [09:16] is that a rail gun? :p [09:16] hehehe [09:16] 150-500mm optical stabilized lense [09:16] take photos of the hairs on a flys ass from 100 meters away ;p [09:16] LOL [09:17] (or park a few hundred meters from a nudist beach) ;p [09:17] * Symmetria laughs [09:17] looks expensive :p [09:17] hahaha [09:17] heh the lense? *shrug* its actually by lense standards not bad, about 13k, its the only really *LARGE* lense that is vaguely affordable [09:18] if you want anything bigger than that you're into the 50k+ bracket [09:18] o_O [09:18] eish...
