Sorry for the stereotypical title, unfortunately, the situation falls in a stereotypical area.
A small example:
My wife was witness of a foreigner (let’s call him Scott) yelling at a Taiwanese assistant teacher. The cause of the outrage had something to do with, “you don’t show me any respect” and “you don’t understand me”.
She didn’t pay attention to details because at Future Heir, they keep their teachers rather busy both foreigner and otherwise.
To newbie teachers (take the newbie definition as you see fit):
People talk to each other, so once you “explode”, that’s it for your reputation. It’s a deep hole most don’t crawl out of.
Teachers will also tell their husbands/boyfriends. You should have more foresight before yelling at one of our wives, the mother of our child(ren) and daughters of Taiwan.
Ask yourself, what would you do if some “foreigner” yelled at your wife/girlfriend?
