Welcome back to our Reddit Wine Down series on Teaching in Korea! 🍷
This week, we dive into one of the biggest battles every foreign teacher eventually faces:
THE TEMPERATURE WAR.
From "legally mandated" 26°C classroom rules (🤨) to humid Korean summers, mold problems, and why students complaining gets results faster than admin ever will, we break down the realities of staying cool in a classroom that definitely wasn't built for hot weather.
If you've ever taught abroad, dealt with unreasonable workplace rules, or survived a summer in Korea's wet heat… YOU will feel this episode.
🔸 Topics we cover:
Are hagwons really required to keep classrooms at 26°C?
Why AC "makes you sick" is a common belief
The mold struggle (and how we survived it)
Classroom design that traps heat
Why kids are your best advocates
