So anyone who has taught in a Korean Uni knows...

...that the Korean University System is a little screwed up (ie corrupt).  Students basically being unable to fail, admins going and changing lecturer's grades at the end of the semester, grades based on attendance in class (and fake absence excuse forms being rampant/students coming to class with 10 minutes remaining and expected to be marked as attending), cheating/copying/plagiarizing wholesale with no consequences, and some enforced group drinking games thrown in.  And that's the stuff that I have to deal with.  Here's a story about what goes on, on Korean's side of things.

Yeah, it doesn't sound pleasant for anyone. Foreign teachers and native speaker English teachers have their own share of problems, different from what Koreans go through, but it looks like it all boils down to the people in charge wanting to remain in charge.
