Teacher rewards pupils with signed photos

A handsome teacher in China is offering pupils autographed photos of himself to encourage them to work harder.

Ji Feng, also vice principal of Zhiyuan Foreign Language Elementary School, is so popular among students that a lot of them were asking him for pictures.

"I came up with the idea of giving them my signed pictures as a reward," he told the Nanjing Morning Post.

Students who put in exemplary work can now pose for a picture with Ji who then signs the printed photograph.

Ji added: "It absolutely is not narcissism, but a way of encouragement. And only the students who perform the best can get such a reward."
Ji said three students had so far submitted work good enough for signed pictures - but he hoped to give out many more.

let see if some of the TD members will try this

Whatever gets you through the day.
Wish I could have got away with that. Too too ugly

THere's something a bit ...err uncomfortable, about it though.

Great idea.

I wonder if this works in reverse.

I could email photos of myself to clients who pay late.

I was fishing for compliments here, hoping you lot would all tell me I'm a very handsome man and how it wouldn't work.

Instead I get greens agreeing with me.

B'stards.

Have another green...in cases like this I defer to others who might actually know you. You really must be that ugly. 5 5 5 5

I think in the teaching community we might now refer to this as the Gilderoy Lockhart approach to teaching.

I have, what we refer to in the business, as a radio-face. Definitely not television.
