We've got exams this week.
Round noon, there's a knock at my door. I open it and see one of my low-level boobs -- one of those dudes who slept his way through the first semester.
Buddy's grinnin' like a fool -- tells me how awesome I am, and says he's gonna take me out to lunch, with three other low-level boobs. FOR FREE!
"Don't bring money! You can drink so many beers!"
After swallowing my bile of disgust, I kindly told him I was busy, and shut the door.
Ugh. |

The weird thing is, I thought I'd nipped this in the bud.
A teacher here last year took Y200 per student for a passing grade.
A few weeks ago, I recounted that tale in each of my classes, and told them that if they wanted to do that with me, I'd only accept Y5000.
Lunch and beers, eh?  |

If the chicks I teach weren't so gnarly, I might've offered a second option.
Oh well... |

I haven't been at this school for a complete year yet but I've noticed wherever in the world I have worked that benevolence is a very seasonal thing - and I don't mean at Xmas.
Funny how the large chocolate cakes from XYZ's mother always coincided with grading the end of year exams... |

You should fail the entire quartet twice over for having such a low view of their beloved FT. "Free lunch"? Those lunches are but one thing: torture-through-tedium (regardless of how much pissbeer is present).
"Please, numb my brain and I'll give you an A". Seems in these students' sleepy eyes, foreigners rank somewhere between storm drain scum and broke alcoholics who'll do anything for gulp of two kuai swill.
Fail them three times over. |

I had a few rich morons whose grade was f and i gave them a c becuase i was kind try to bribe me.
The other day a few f-c students asked me what they could do to make their grade higher. they were fishing and I wasn't in a mood to play...
However, one nice rich very pretty girl did take me out for a great dinner, just the two of us, and kindly ask me to raise her grade from the c she got ( and she admitted cheating to get that grade) to an a...
It was a nice dinner and an a- seems like a good grade for her...
Now just a few nights ago 7 girls took me out to a great dinner. The beauty of this dinner was that they were all a students and didn't want a damn thing from me... |

Jeff, I'm actually a little disappointed. An undeserved "C" further risen to an "A", and all it took was a nice dinner? Must have been one damn fine example of pretty. |

No Shan-shan, you don't get it. My jeffy, you're the sly one. She spreads the word, a little free advertising, and he'll be getting more and more and better and better offers. Fundamentals of business. Let them have the new product cheaply, then raise the price once you've developed the market.
U the man |

| My sinofication is obvious in how I missed the elegance and craft of Jeff's business moves. Kudos. |
