An Actual Informative Article About Native Speaking Teachers

Kang Shin-who throws us all a curve ball with what appears to be an actual news article regarding native speaking teachers in Korea. This one isn't just busting balls and filled with lies. As far as I can tell, he may have done a little legwork this time.

The story says that instead of trying to punish or deport foreigners who illegally give private tutoring lessons on the side, the government is trying to figure out a way to implement taxes on them.

"Kim Chul-woon, director of the Private Institute Monitoring Team at the ministry, said, "It is hard to control the mushrooming illegal private tutoring, so it would be better for immigration offices to allow foreigners to tutor privately and impose taxes on that income."

The National Tax Service also supports the idea of opening the tutoring market to foreigners and making them pay taxes on the money they make."

Now, I could be mistaken, but that appears to be a logical solution to what is now considered an annoying problem for both the government, teachers who want to make some extra cash and students who are willing to pay for it.

Bravo!
