Back on topic,

Burberry man flashers that lurk outside girl's middle and high schools are just one of those weird quirks of Korean culture and are considered a rite of passage here. Take it for what you will.

I don't know what people have said in the past and I don't know what peoples' online personae are like, but I think that quote from jackthecat ain't so bad.

I have taken my students out a number of times(not weekly, or anything crazy like that, I'm talking over the course of seven years). Pizza, field trips, movies, classes in Starbucks(for my smaller writing and content subject classes), etc. Korean teachers do it all the time, teachers back in North America do it all the time, why can't we?

Maybe if Koreans start seeing foreigners acting like mature professionals with a variety of Koreans in a variety of situations stereotypes about why we are here, like those that fueled the incident jtc was involved in, will begin to fade.

And, for the record, parents, other students, Korean staff and casual onlookers have all noticed and taken note with appreciation of these little class trips. And, yes, it was a girls high school and I am a male teacher. The only problem has ever been one of "When is it our turn Mr. ****?"

Caveat: If that outing took place right after the Hyo-Sun and Mi-Seon incident, might have been a tad shy of prudent, I am talking in general.

Peace.

I asked my wife about this. She said these flashers ONLY goto secluded girls high schools or middle schools.

My wife went to a girls middle/high school and told me at least once a year they had a flasher.

I laughed at the advice the teachers tell the students:

ignore the guy


I'd think laughing and telling him his wank is so small he really shouldnt be flashing it would prolly get the guy to stop.

I taught some 6th graders after school for a while, and one day they told me of a flasher visiting their school. Sick.

He wouldn't be able to get through the gates at my school - they have someone on the gate the whole time school is open.
