"Many of them overdo things, what manner of embarrassment is this? Why not just tell him to cut it when next he’s attending your class? People need to learn how to address issues and give people due respect."

Speaking of lecturers, Briefly News previously reported that a young lecturer, Aimee Le, has revealed that for two years that she taught her students the English language in the university, they never knew she was living in a tent.

Living in such a condition was not an easy choice. However, it became the last resort when her flat rent increased in her third year as a PhD student at Royal Holloway, University of London.

With the increase, she soon realised that she could not keep up with the cost of running her research and staying in a flat.
