Re: Racist Reactions of People Back Home
I see what you're saying, but a lot of those types are very punk. So in that case, they cannot be reasoned with, only punished and/or avoided. Nonetheless, though, a boss might be a different matter - as his opinions might come from a different angle. Not necessary different angle though. I have se...

Re: Who is to be blamed?
I agree with what you said. But practically the scenario is not this. Sooner or later all of us end up in the blame game. As far as hunting for the root cause is concerned I think it is the prime responsibility of the parents. Teachers can only act as a guide. I'm saying this because no one underst...

Re: Racist Reactions of People Back Home
Ignoring it is a good idea. Nonetheless, you sometimes cannot escape the taunters. In fact, I even had to leave a church cause of rude teenagers. Now a church is an important place, a place you don't like being driven out of. I agree we can't ignore it all the time. There are cases when we have suc...

Re: Is nightlife allowed for a serious teacher?
I agree with this statement. Teachers are pretty respected profession. I would say it's important to maintain a good image.You would not want to have a reputation of being a party-goer. Asian parents do consider your image when making judgements. I have heard some parents who would request for thei...

Re: Co-teachers with a Grudge
Only way to fight discrimination in such case would be to get the higher authority involved. And this way you can get your priorities sorted. When you are working in a difficult environment, it'd be safe to say that you have to pick your battles wisely. Avoid arguments of any kind if possible. That ...

Re: Dealing with difficult bosses
I think if one is in desperate situation then tolerating the boss is the only option sadly. However one should always look for the work to get done.I have found that just playing by the rules in this phase works. Though sometimes you will enough of it already. And that should be something you can do...

Re: smart ways to deal with rude people!
Rude people are in need of attention and also want power over other people. And for this reason they are always in mode of controlling others. As you can see that it can't be always disputed. You have to find out the means through which you can keep distance. Not giving them much attention and not p...

Re: Racist Reactions of People Back Home
I'd ignore racism. We have come long way from stereotypes around the world. Never make your opinion based on what you see on TV. As you can guess this has only made it worse for each other. We should ignore racism as much as possible. More we pay attention to this the more it increases. Stereotypes ...

Re: Political Problems with Your Homeland
I think any country is allowed to have patriotic opinions. We should think of immigrants as guests until they get the citizenship. And after that they have to think of new country as their own country. So people taking conservative opinion in wrong way should be doing some introspection. As you can ...

Re: What apps would you recommend for exploring a new location?
The two apps that I found helpful are - ViaTukTuk and Fieldtrip. The first app is perfect when you want to explore things through transport and want to find out new things. And field-trip is another app where you can see locations nearby. Once you start using app either one of them, make sure to get...
