Can you share the worst teaching abroad horror stories you know?

A common horror story is when a partner lies about their other relationships. For instance, a person in a polyamorous relationship tells their primary partner that they are only casually dating someone else, but in reality, they are much more involved. This shatters the trust in the relationship.

Well, there was this one time when an interviewer started criticizing the interviewee's appearance right at the start of the interview. They made comments about their hair and clothes, which had nothing to do with the job. This completely threw the interviewee off and made them feel really self - conscious and unvalued during the whole interview process.

A girl's crush was on a guy who seemed really charming. They went on a date and she thought it went well. But later, she found out he was dating multiple girls at the same time. He was just playing with their feelings, which was really a horror story for her.

I know of a story where a person was promised a specific job training opportunity at the job centre. They prepared for it for weeks, but when the time came, the job centre had forgotten about it and offered no explanation or alternative. It was a huge disappointment for that person who had high hopes of getting new skills and improving their job prospects.

Well, here's another one. A guy met a girl online. They agreed to meet at a coffee shop. When he got there, she showed up with a whole bunch of her friends unannounced. It was really strange as he thought it was just going to be the two of them. And her friends were just as invasive, asking him all sorts of personal questions.

Sure. I heard about a guy who played games non - stop for days. He ended up having hallucinations, thinking the game characters were real and in his room. It was really scary for him and his family when he started acting out scenes from the game in real life.

Sure. One of my friends taught in Thailand. She was amazed by the warm hospitality of the local students. They would often bring her small gifts like local handicrafts. And the teaching style there was more relaxed compared to what she was used to in her home country. It was a great cultural exchange experience for her.

The worst one for me was at a diner where the cook was clearly drunk. He was slurring his words when taking orders and then made a complete mess of the food. Some dishes were burned, others were under - seasoned. And when the customers complained, the drunk cook started yelling at them. It was a really bad situation.

A woman's wedding dress was sold in a lost luggage auction. She had it in her luggage during a trip. The airline lost her bag, and instead of trying to return it to her, it ended up in an auction. She was devastated as the dress held so many sentimental values. She had planned to pass it down to her daughter someday.

A student, Mark, taught in Japan. His subject was mathematics. He was amazed by the discipline and respect shown by the Japanese students in the classroom. But he also noticed that they were shy about asking questions. So, he tried to create a more relaxed atmosphere. He introduced group work and problem - solving activities. Through this, the students became more active in learning math. Mark also learned a lot about Japanese culture during his stay there, which influenced his teaching methods in a positive way.
