Teaching Kimchi

You can hardly find any parents visiting a school and asking any questions about teaching methods. You will be surprised how quickly parents choose English schools. Most of them just sign up after one brief visit.

Its shocking to that some parents won’t even make a short visit to the schools. The main reason is most of the students are referred by there friends. They invite their friends to the school and if they like their friends register. Almost 99% of all students at hagwons enroll in this way.

However, in Busan, there are some parents who really take some pains to inquire about prices; hours per day also per week; contact hours; classroom size; does the school also have a regular homework basis; have students from that school studied abroad after studying at the hawgon. What the parents really want is that there child receives homework from the teachers. A lot of school work is based on how their school looks rather how the teaching should be. Parents visit the school and see clean and fancy tools and sign up there kids, without knowing about the methods of teaching. Parents take there decision on the basis of whether the school has a recognizable franchise name.
