Flow of information

From my experience of working in Korea, the people above you, do pre-filtering of the information they need to tell you. Basically, they tell you what They think you need to know. I have huge problems with this, mainly because I get told no useful information. When stuff goes down, I just put on the typical I don't know head on an angle + puppy dog/dear in headlights I don't know look that Korean students do very well. Koreans get that. Then I just blame my co-teacher.
