Why the hate on Teflers?
Why the hate on Teflers?
I don't get it.
And I'm only referring to this board, I've never heard anyone in person hating on them. Seems to be some animosity against them here and I've yet to figure out why.
I mean, I can understand hating backpackers. Yeah. NGOs too. But what did a Tefler ever do? Haha.

I am not sure it is hate, I think some people need someone to look down upon; makes them feel it elevates their status. It could also stem from the time when pretty much anyone with white skin automatically qualified as teacher; there was some real losers back then. But this has changed, at least at the more reputable schools.

Yeah, let's not talk about financial traders in Hong Kong killing two filipina pros and keeping their bodies in a suitcase for a week or so before offing himself.
Hanno got it right, do a check on every other profession and you will find some cockroaches, go no further than a certain pizza parlour

Come to think of it, the percentage of pizza parlour owners who are dodgy is probably higher than the percentage of teflers who are dodgy.

There were Indonesians, not filipinas, and he didn't off himself. He's in prison awaiting his trial which starts in October.
As for the OP, there is no 'hate on Tellers'. There is a gentle ribbing culture which perpetuates largely because GMJS etc know that it never fails to get a rise from them.
There is still some truth to this. Let's face it, the most clean cut foreigners in Cambodia are the Mormons and other missionaries and they are the dodgiest of them all!!!!horace wrote:20 years everybody who came to Cambodia was dodgy, including me. If you weren't dodgy , you couldn't be trusted.
