It Hurts to be a Hagwon Owner...boohoo

I was checkin out the Marmot's Hole this eveining and came across this. I have to admit that there is no way I can feel any compassion...as they say, "What comes around, goes around."

Feel the Pain of Hagwon Owners
The new visa regs have put hagwon owners in a tight spot, with a growing shortage of teachers forcing teacher wages up and forcing school to cut classes. A representative of the Korea Hagwon Association told the JoongAng Ilbo that its members “can no longer bear the rising labor cost.” My happiness at news of suffering hagwon owners is tempered only by news that recruiting agencies — the people who brought you The Blacklist (they’ve deleted the personal information, BTW) — are raising their commissions, too.
