We were told today at work that it was not ok for any of the male foreign teachers to hang out with any of the female Korean teachers at our school. It "would not look ok", whatever that means. I couldn't help myself and asked if it would be ok for a male Korean teacher to hang out with a female foreign teacher. "Yeah, of course."
Double standard slam dunk.
Us guy foreign teachers were also told it doesn't look good when any of us bring a girl back to our room at night. I fail to see how this is unacceptable when we are A.) consenting adults, and B.) NOT CHILDREN.
I'm ready to leave Korea at least for a little bit.
