Teacher resigns in disgust at Student attitude
A Saudi English language teacher was so furious at a school boy for his sarcastic answers in the examination that he decided to resign and never teach again.
The teacher was shocked at the answers which reflected the student’s "carelessness, ignorance, negligence and disrespect", according to 'Sada' newspaper.
"The teacher decided to resign immediately when he read the paper containing those answers. He even wrote his resignation on that paper and said he would never teach again," the paper said without mentioning where in Saudi Arabia the school is located.
It published a copy of the paper showing the unidentified school boy answered the English test in Arabic and all the answers were sarcastic as they were totally irrelevant.
One of the questions was "use web cam" in a sentence and the student’s answer was in Arabic: "How much is the potato today."
Another question for the use of "post" in a sentence was answered "Kiss your mother's hand every day."
Surely the student should have been kicked out
Uh, yes. And then the teacher will be fired because he failed the student. You know, they think teachers fail students in this part of the world.
why not just give a failing grade? it will just end up with the kid having a twisted sense of accomplishment
The teacher took a wrong decision.! I don't think the decision based on a particular student. Majority might be have the similar answers..! How to find the class average on English alone..!? So, it can be concluded.
How much is the Potatto today......hahahaha
The teaching profession is not what it used to be. Shame he felt the need to quit. Hope he changes his mind - seems like a good teacher. You always get difficult students.
Who teaches these days for the sake of teaching or for imparting knowledge ? Maturity & Patience only comes in proportion to the pay structure :) If this situation exists in home countries, there would be a lot of teaching vacancies always !!
Good that this teacher resigned. If he cannot be matured and patient enough to handle students like this then teaching is not for him.
I am assuming that he got so fed up of trying to teach morons who weren't interested in learning that he decided to throw in the towel
Why resign? The student failed the exam, so what?
