How do you avoid rude people?
Posted: Tue Feb 20, 2007 7:02 pm
I am a newbie. I would like to make a career out of teaching overseas, so I have been doing a lot of research. I have joined a couple of websites, and I have even emailed a few people. Some people have been helpful.
Unfortunately, some people have not been helpful at all. They are condescending, self-righteous and just plain ignorant. I've heard that traveling makes people more open-minded and less judgemental, so I am surprised at this type of behavior. I don't know what's wrong with these people. They have traveled all around the world and they don't appreciate it? They also belittle and ridicule newbies. What is that all about? If you don't want to help, then just ignore us and go on with your miserable little lives.
It looks like I'll still have to put up with this mess as long as I am working overseas. Can I find a positive way to avoid these people when I finally have to work overseas?
