Oh yeah, on that other forum for English Teachers in Korea, Dash was bitching to everyone how he "couldn't control his students" in Korea. I think that is why he went over there and left so quick.
Basically these little Korean kids were bitch slapping the guy all day long.
Korean kids are probably the easiest in the world to control. Seriously. It doesn't get easier. First, as far as kids go, they are naturally well behaved. Second, when they act up, they're socially conditioned to be scared shitless of real authority. This is becasue their authority figures are people to be scared of, and the system isn't pussified as it is here. You can make kids do pushups, iron horses, and all sorts of shit to keep them in line. If you aren't allowed to, there is almost always a school disciplinarian who will keep them in line with physical discipline. This is this guys full time salaried job, and he doesn't discriminate between girls and guys. If Dash couldn't discipline these kids with so many tools at his disposal, then he's just not a natural teacher. Some people aren't. Anyone who can stand up to a beligerent child under 10 can stand up to a Korean student of any age becasue they don't want what they have learned happens when they don't listen. They will test teachers though, just as women test players. You just have to pass the shit test, grow some balls, and make that teaching room your own. (no offense to Koreans, I love you guys and girls - best students ever).
