 |
|
Has anyone had experiences with people (Korean teachers/school admin) taking your picture in class when you are trying to teach? Does this upset or anger you? For me, I can't stand it and asked them to stop. Maybe now I'll get fired.
I just find it so rude when schols treat foreigners as a commodity to 'show off' and advertise. It is an invasion of our privacy and personal space. I think if they need models they should hire some for advertising!!!!!!!  |

Privacy? mm Maybe? Personal space? Are they doing head shots of you while your teaching?
It's just the way it is. We're like a shiny new toy. The sooner you realize it and get over it, the better. |

| the only argument you could make is that it's distracting to your class.. if they are taking pictures randomly during your class and it's not that big of a distraction to your teaching.. then get over it |

Why not? Our job is a teacher. Not model/advertiser/school promotor. |

| Be careful. I noticed that they really try to get a shot of you with a really stupid look on your face, doing something really stupid or a picture of you with an angry look/doing something that could be considered threatening when taken out of context. |

That's a good point. Kind of disturbing, but I could see it happening like that at some places.
I've never had a problem with it as long as it's not every other day. If it's just a slight interruption, then it's no problem. |
