Grad Photos


Boston Graduating Class Posted by Hello(click to enlarge)

Today we had our graduation photos taken with the kindergartens. There's 5 from Craig's Princeton, 10 from Gabe's Brown, and 7 from Dave's Boston classes graduating in February. We'll be getting the actual pictures in a month or so, but Craig brought his camera to take candids. (Side note: I'm not wearing heels, however, Gabe is. Seriously)

Found out today that there's going to be changes for the good (for us foreign teachers) with the kindergartens. There's 22 leaving in February and only 7 are replacing them in March. Which means we're going to have fewer classes with less people in them. Our hours will probably decrease, but since we're on a salary, the foreign teachers should be okay. It's due to the economic crisis going on in Korea now. And Swaton is one of the more expensive kindergarten programs. But it's not just Swaton suffering; all the other private schools in Ilsan are suffering. Should be interesting what will happen in the next couple of months.
