I'll be frank here; I have no issue with attracting truly talented foreign students to get their higher education here. Like it or not, we do need talents to fill in the gaps where needed. If I have to face off with someone more talented than I am, then it's my job to work harder to make up for my lesser talent.

What really pisses me off are foreign students who seem to be here just to make the numbers. Some of this riffraff cannot be called 'talents' by any stretch of imagination. And it seems that any Ahmad, Ah Lim or Muthusamy with a foreign passport instantly becomes a 'foreign talent'.

Back when I was an undergrad, there was this so-called FT student from India who was attached to my project group.

The bloody fool was a total skiver and did not perform his responsibilities to the group. Why? Because he was spending half the time doing part-time modelling.

In the end, we all had enough, and we ganged up on him. We told him in no uncertain terms that our taxes were subsidising his education, and that we would kick his rear end both figuratively and literally if his skiving led to us having poor grades for that project.

Yeah.

There are some who don't appear particularly bright and whose sole purpose in life appears to be interrupting tutorials with questions that could be answered on one's own.

Granted, there are the god-like awesome smart ones also.

Reminds me of one of my students in class.....

*****************

Me: Okay, let's discuss question 2.....

Student: Sir, how do we do question 2?

Me: Yes, that's what I'm about to discuss!

*************************

Me: To simplify our analysis, we can try identifying the zero-force members....

Student: Sir, what are zero-force members?

Me: Yes, I'm getting there!

***************************

Me: ..... so, for that reason, AB is a zero-force member. Now let's move on.....

Student: Sir, what are the other zero-force members?

Me: GAAHHH.... let... me..... finish.... talking!!!

Which reminds me fudge, of what I put on my FB before my exams:

Overheard during consultation...

Student: Sir, you taught this meh?

Lecturer: Yes. Its in the lecture slides as well. Please read it through carefully.

Student: HUH? Its in the notes meh???? Is it in the textbook???

Lecturer: Yes la....

walao

Bloody waste of my time.

I waited 20 min for this nonsense student to finish before I could talk to my lecturer. Super nonsense.
