Moving back to Korea

I lived in Pusan from 1993-1998, having taught at Pusan National University for the last year I was there. My wife of 16 years is from Haeundae. We are considering moving back to Busan in the future. We have a daughter in 10th grade and a son in 5th grade.

Questions...I have a Master's Degree in Special Education and a certified to teach English and Special Education in Maryland. What would my job options look like (university, private lessons, etc)? How hard would it be for me to get an f6 Visa? What would my kids' visa status be?

It would be great if I could find a teaching job at an international school where he could attend at a reduced rate or no cost.

Foreigners with children in Busan

I have a 9 year old daughter and I am unsure if I should send her to Korean public school this year. Last year she attended public school in Siheung and the level of English was very poor in the school. I would like to hear from parents in Busan who have young children. I would appreciate their advice about schooling. We live in Seomyeon. Unfortunately the Foreign and International schools are too expensive.
