We have a guy in the office who started at the second semester and he comes over as basically a pompous ass who thinks he is better than everyone else.
He likes to think of himself as a great teacher because he does all this stuff with his kids. Hmm, the reality is he has got them doing all this flashy stuff creating diaramas and posters and what not with about 2 sentences of english. The rest of the time is taking up with colouring in, cutting up, gluing and so on and so on. In other words the kids love it and there is something flashy at the end of it to show off how busy he was but how much have they actually learned?
He also is a space hog - so the people sitting beside him come in to find his bag on their chair, his books / activities in their space and so on. He also bought two plastic "office tidy ups" for all his papers, pens and so on and so on, so they actually take up almost his entire space before anything else goes on. Fortunately I am not one of those beside him but those that are are pissed off. It may sound trivial but in a small staffroom personal space can be a big issue.
He is also apparently turning up late for classes, he comes out of classes quite a few times during lessons to come back to the staffroom to pick up stuff he "forgot" and so on and so on. We are supposed to be here at 7.50. He has decided off his own bat that as he doesnt start working til 9.30 or so some morning he will come in around 9! Now in theory, he is allowed 4 late arrivals before he is docked on of the 3 sick days we are allowed each semester.
And for me the worst thing that someone could possibly do - he noisily SLURPS his coffee!! EEUUUCCCHHH!!!
I would love to know if he has been spoken to about his time keeping. I wont hold my breath though.

Does it really bother you that a teacher, who probably has to deal with all the bullshit that foreign teachers in Thailand go through, has the front to come in later than he should and try to enjoy his job in whatever way he can. Maybe he talks to the kids while they paint pictures, instead of them being bored and amused by your frustration. You won't know what he does in class as your head is so far up your own ass. Get a life.
