from a post at dave’s esl cafe
“it most certainly is true that employers use pictures to weed out the less attractive people. it is certainly true here in korea, where the employers are very blunt and up front about it. whats more, the students take attractiveness into account during the evaluations; just like they judge fashion sense, sociability and a myriad of other things that have nothing to do with teaching competence. for example, i once worked with a handsome, amiable, talkative and very social person who was also an unreliable drunk who blew off classes, showed up for work straight from the clubs in hongdae and taught his students next to nothing. the result? the highest approval ratings and retention rates in the school. is it fair? of course not. but it is reality and most people learn to deal with it. ”
hehe, teaching is asia is the bomb
