Nope, I was never fat. How about the rest of you?

Depends on the teacher really. Most schools have designated smoking areas, as long as your smoking there. No problem. Some really traditional teachers don't want the kids seeing them smoke and they always hide even though everyone students & teachers know they smoke. That's pretty rare though.

Most teachers including me, we just smoke. If the students see us... ehh.... As the Foreign teacher, the kids 'll probably tease you about it. They'd never do that to a Korean teacher.

Now the lines get a little blurred if a parent is walking around. Generally its not polite to smoke in front of them unless your drinking together.

Why all the hate? Nope, I have never been fat, but yes I did lose 80 pounds a few years ago. Read all my previous responses and you will see that I lost the weight after contracting TB while volunteering in a Cambodian prison.

By the way, my purpose in asking questions about teachers as role models has to do with research I am doing in order to gather data for a future academic publication focusing on unlawful discharge of public school teachers for failing to be good role models (ie, discharge for portraying unhealthy lifestyles).
