Korea Beat has the translation of one of the funniest English teaching bashing articles seen yet in the Korean press:

According to Pressian’s investigation, American professor A, who worked at university P in America and in 2007 was invited to work at university Y in Seoul, shared drugs such as the painkillers oxycodone and percodan with Ms. K, a woman he knew from school and met in front of a club in Hongdae. One of the woman’s siblings is a nurse.

If ingested the drugs, used to treat cancer, can cause many injuries including visual and auditory hallucinations and mania. Because of the danger of addiction they are classified as controlled substances like morphine.

Ms. K, realizing she was being offered illegal drugs but knowing Prof. A was her friend, decided to get advice from Prof. B, an American at the same school but a different department. But when Prof. B said it was none his business, Ms. K was suddenly cut off from friendship with him.

Profs. A and B continued to stay in the foreigner- and club-heavy district of Hongdae and indiscriminately meet Korean women.Pressian learned from one of Prof. B’s ex-girlfriends, a Korean, that they sent text messages reading, “we can do anything in Seoul,” “we are vampires,” and “when are you going to take another girl’s virginity?” Prof. B used his ex-girlfriend’s name to sign a contract for cellphone service.  [Korea Beat]

There is much more so make sure to read the rest because it is a hoot.  At least I know what the Gypsy Scholar does in his free time. 

All of you “Low Quality Foreign English Teachers” are really the new GI’s in the eyes of Koreans.  I do have to wonder what Pressian thinks of this though?

A whole lot more over at the Marmot’s Hole and Brian in Jeollanam-do as well.
