I was doing level tests a few weeks ago and my last question for the students was "Who is your favorite teacher at school?" Every girl answered "Miss Kim" or "Mrs. Park" or "Miss Yi" ... always a female teacher.

When I asked "Why?" Guess what the answer was....

Because she's beautiful.

Every... single.... time.

I'm not surprised at all, I've heard kids say the same thing. I haven't asked them who their favourite teacher is because I assume it's me (rofl) but I've heard them say they love so and so because she's beautiful. "Kind heart" is another thing they sometimes say.

The boys say that the most. No offense to the women, I'll get flamed, women who look great and have a big set of watermelons often score high on their evaluations.

Koreans have a strong tendency to determine a persons character from their looks.

Any person with watermelons scores high on my test, I really love watermelons.

That's an unprofessional question.

If I were a student, and I had to go to the same place 5 sometimes 6 days a week and stare at the same old face, I'd rather her be female and hot.

Thats just me. I remember in high school having a hot female teacher always made the time go by fast. It didn't matter if she was the biggest b**** on the planet.

Hehehe, that reminds me so much of my Latin teacher, Miss Wong (the running joke was that we were learning Latin the wong way). Brilliant language learner who knew six languages, dreadful educator who couldn't seem to understand that sometimes people learn things in different ways from her, but boy was she easy on the eyes. Fixating on her ass while she was writing on the board was one way to make sum, es, est, summus, estis, sunt go a lot faster.

At any rate I work at a girls school so I don't have to listen to constant comments about how beautiful my female co-workers are. But I sure get a lot of remarks about how handsome the PE teacher, the history teacher, and I are. Given how handsome I'd reckon the PE and history teachers I don't really consider that much of an ego boost, however.

Infatuation is an important topic as a teacher imho.

You can really work that to your advantage and get students to excel.

Don't forget that these kids probably spend more time with you, actively, then with their own parents.

This is bound to create some affection/disaffection.

Wow, as a gigantic (6'2" and change), fat, jew/gypsy/scot looking guy I'm expecting trouble. Have they seen "Uncle Buck" widely in SK? Even John Candy's daughter told me I kind of looked like him.

I'm more of a cantaloupe man myself.

Are you referring to "Why?" being an unprofessional question? If so, I spend 99% of my day asking the same unprofessional question over and over.

I've noticed the Korean teachers groom the kids, hug them. Lots of affection goes back and forth. The kids try to do that with you but I have a little thing I make pop up on my laptop. Written in Korean it says:

"Canadians don't like to be touched."

In my experience, 10 year old girls don't give aged male teachers massages.

I'm happy to feed them, however. "No really, I'm happy to give you crackers and cookies between classes but you don't have to return the favor with a back massage. I'm good, thanks all the same."

But I do sometimes get a proprietary attachment to my kids. I forget they actually have parents. They're MINE.
