Firing students

Yes, you've read it right!

The phrase came from my dad, actually. He was concerned that I didn't enjoy teaching one of my students, so one day, he suddenly asked me "Have you fired your student yet?" Funny, isn't it? ^_^

I am glad to say that I am no longer teaching Baito-kun(a nickname my friends and I came up for him. "Baito" means "part time" in Jap, and "Kun" is just a way of addressing a guy, like "san" for example), and I can say that there's no love loss in this case. No big loss when it comes to money too, he was such a "kecchi" (miser) person and he dared think that just because he was paying, he could order me around like I'm his personal slave or something. Typical Jap guy (or the steoreotype ones, perhaps I should say), who doesn't know how to treat the opposite sex well. No wonder gender studies in Japan is becoming more and more popular.

Anyways, moral of the story is that one has a right to even fire students, if said student(s) is(are) not interested in learning. hohoho
