Ooh, that's a classic.

And while we're on the topic of small mammals teaching the class, I could buy one of those live rat traps from the da-mai-chang and introduce the new teacher, Mr. Rat, who lives in my backpack until lesson time.

Or better yet, I could call him Splinter and introduce my students to the wonderful world of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles via a marathon on my laptop. But would that be enough to get me fired? I have an especially clingy school.

If the school is so desperate to keep you, you probably can't get fired.

I think Rooster started this thread with the hopes of finding out a way the school he wants to leave will fire him instead. Rooster, just turn up drunk to work.

From the schools economic prospective a drunk foreign teacher is probably better than no foreign teacher.

Teach your male students to write their names in English - without a pen or a pencil.

Okay guys, fortunately I didn't need to teach badly to put a bitter taste in my boss' mouth.

However, why not keep the thread alive just for entertainment value?

Buy them all a cup of strong coffee and watch them do the pop corn dance.

...on the topic of stimulants, I could have an "educate Teacher Rooster on the customs of Taiwan" lesson, bring in 20 or so betel nuts, and have them teach me how to chew!

Too bad we were not talking about Korea. Then you could have a contest "Who can drink the most bottles of Soju".

...or who can draw the best picture of smiling men with happy, silly, red polka-dotted flags walking all over a map of Korea to practice their Korean geography!

Well when you get the new work permit tell your boss to screw off.

I hope you have a record of your tax payment from HESS. The Labor Bureau will probably want to see them.
