[Common sense]

Y'know, I'd expect the guy who did 116 in a 60 zone to get psychological treatment, not the guy who played guitar during class.

Mr. Long

Lol, you can't expect to say "go back to Korea" and be able to keep your job.

Pretty much this.

Who knows if he was kidding or if he was being serious, but it's still a dumb thing to say.

He says what we're all thinking.

[pwnstar]

Mr. Long

Why these people decided to become teachers in the first place boggles my mind.

He says what ignorant racists among us would say.

My paternal grandparents fled eastern Europe to avoid being killed during the aftermath of the Russian Revolution. She raised 13 children and 70 years after her arrival upon her death could barely speak any English.

You make it seem like that is something to be proud of.

No excuse to not learn the language in that amount of time. You come to a country, learn the language. Plain and simple.

This is coming from someone with immigrant parents (I also wasn't born here, came at a very young age) who both worked very hard to become fluent in English.

Which is why I said "thinking". Most people have the common sense not to say such things out loud. Especially in the workplace and doubly so in Mr Long's chosen workplace.
