How thick do you have to be to not know that you never undermine another teacher in front of the students? It seems that she's trying to find a way to take his side and ignore the situation.

Quote from: Aristocrat on October 21, 2016, 02:00:58 pmThis culture drives me up the wall. There is a strange insistance upon hearing out the students explanations for bad behavior at my school also and of course the explanations are ridiculous but always accepted. Is this common all over Korea? Kids at my school can essentially do anything and the only punishment seems to be occasionally writing some lines (and you have to get the teacher in charge of discipline for the entire school to bestow that harsh punishment).I've been cursed at, flipped off, and just openly disrespected and it is just accepted as normal. Kids just get sent to the hall (where they usually just goof off and play), I have to send kids out of class all the time and so do the Korean teachers. Sent a couple kids out to the hall today and they pulled the fire alarm, did not even warrant a talking to from a Korean teacher.Also, no matter what they do, if they say "sorry" afterwards then everything is ok. They usually say it with a big grin on their faces with no remorse whatsoever. A lot of my kids are great and it brings me a ton of joy teaching them but I will do my best to teach only adults after this year.
I don't understand where you're all working. I work at a normal public school in a relatively low income area. When a kid is being disrespectful to anyone, whether it's a teacher or a student, all my co-teachers zero in on it immediately and either change that student's seat, or make them come sit by the teacher's desk, or just yell at them.Maybe I'm just lucky, but yeah - I've never had to deal with that.

Needless to say, these classes have the most positive atmosphere, the smartest kids, and there's never been a single incident of anything worse than simple hormones doing their thing.At the other 2, one CT thinks every child is too precious for words and she doesn't have a solid bone in her body. The other CT is constantly in lala land and treats 6th grade students like adults.

The prostitution thread was killed off just as we were starting to get somewhere.
Related to the piercing/tattoo thread. What is it with people? Why do you need to mutilate yourself? Is your life that boring and lacking in excitement that you need a tattoo or piercing to jazz it up? Instead of letting a tatt or piercing speak for your personality, why don't you let your personality speak for your personality? Not to mention, are you going to have that stuff going on into your 70s? Think long-term. Workplaces are right to be skeptical about hiring such people when it comes to certain fields. It demonstrates poor emotional control and rational decision making. If you're an artist or something like that, maybe not so much because in such cases more impulsive and outside the box thinking can be a plus. There's nothing sadder than a grown adult who is still passive-aggressively rebelling against their parents into their late 20s. Although I do understand tattoos if they're about time in prison/a gang/the military/someone close to you dying, that sort of thing.
