I can't stand the students that complain because they don't understand it even when I give them a translation into Korean. It is damn annoying.

Then they come back to class the next day and haven't bothered to review any material 'cos they wanted to kill their friends with the latest PC Game and expect English to magically transform into their pure little minds after attending the local Hagwon (Institute) for a few months.

My biggest pet hate though is lazy students who are unable to spell their English name.
Where in Korea are you working? Ya the hagwon system is really bad in Korea. Mothers are just throwing money down the drain all in the aid of education. It's amazing how much they are paying for their kids to go to these hagwons especially when they are in highschool or when English and math are involved.
