Bugil Academy : I got a Job!

Hello World,

I got a job working at a school in Cheonan, South Korea. My school, Global Leader Program (GLP), is part of a larger school Bugil Academy which is a boarding school. The GLP is a program funded by some large corporation here and is designed to prepare Korean students for western colleges and universities. The students have had to write tests to get into the school, so they are all motivated and academically astute. A great deal of courses are Advanced Placement, the curriculum created by the CollegBoard.

My job is to teach physics. Which is great because that is my training. Though in teacher's college I have been leaning more towards teaching Math. My curriculum is AP physics C and B based. Because the classes are small and have relatively few behavioural problems, I'm excited to develop my curriculum for when I go back to North America.
