Steve Heckman - 2005-06-09

No offense, but if I were a student, I'd take a smoker any day over you guys who don't even know how to spell words like "school".

Stinky breath over education: I choose education.

Point 2: Some bozo said teachers who smoke shouldn't teach overseas (paraphrase). That's an importation of their own Western cultural values. Back home we think smoking paints a negative, rebellious attitude.

Now here's something for you to think about. Have you ever stopped to think that MOST Korean teachers smoke here? And they will smoke directly in front of the kids, just like the kids' parents and their grandparents.

This is because in Asia, smoking is not a reflection of one's morals.

Try to be a little more culturally aware.

Disclaimer: I have been known to occasionally light one up.
