Q: Do you have a Why Teachers Drink File?

I have done some ESL work to help out the Sister in-law
However my job at home involves teaching adult students to use Earthmoving equipment and driving large trucks.
before they get near the equipment they have to do a written exam
Spelling dose not come into it (thank god)
but some of the answers I get to simple Questions gets me breaking out the chewing gum to see who can walk and chew at the same time.
after the first month so far it is about a inch thick already
(not as Thick as Some)
how about you guys
what is the dumbest thing to come across your desk (in writting Female students dont count)

When boys take girls names and when I point it out, they defend their position saying that I only know "American English"...

crimochina:

Oh! And when we need to "retest" a sudent who failed the class because he NEVER showed up because, by his roomates admission, he was busy playing computer games.

The ones who ask more questions than you can answer in the class time in the first minute, and then they repeat them every five minutes until you point it out. Then they say you are singling them out because you do not like them, then they do the same thing the next day.

PS. I hope the ones in china do not do that or else I am going to have to say that whisky is part of my culture.

HugAPanda:

Why do I have a mental image of you sitting in the front of the class, doing just this?

Today I had a kid projective vomit all over two other girls in his class. I had one three year old repeatedly hit my (lovely and highly competent) teaching aide in the stomach, chest and arms then spit at her full in the face. I had a class of four year olds spend half an hour running riot through the hallways chased around by the school's receptionists and TAs, with looks of sympathy being passed around for whoever's problem they were (pre-class, I hasten to add).

As comic relief, I had a potential future FT colleague give a teaching demonstration where he drew what looked for all intents like a dick with balls on the whiteboard then insist it was 'mouth', and got somewhat pissy with me when I laughed my arse off.

At about 4pm, boyfriend and lovely foreign colleague ask "what should we do tonight?". Me: "I don't care as long as it involves beer!!!" The same colleague summed up my day as: "spew, phlegm, balls and dicks. The bodily fluid day!"

Oh, yes, I have a file!!!

GuilinRaf:

Oh my !!!! I offer you my sympathies! In case beer is not strong enough, you may want to try "er guo tou". It is NASTY stuff but strong! Guaranteed to kill or cure... I am doodling what the demo guy drew and for the life of me, I cannot even see how it could even approach looking like a mouth...

MissA:

Imagine that he tried to draw what looked like a pouting mouth with a moustache coming down over it (i.e. a very hairy, round mouth), but with a biiiiiig tongue hanging out the bottom. It was awesome! Quite a good demo, actually, except for that!

1k, tongue hanging out. Now I see it, yet for some reason I still want to cry. *SOB*!:'-(

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
