Just trying to get my head around trying to purposely get a group of foreign teachers together. Either a masochist or the bar needs to boost booze sales.

They must be supplementing this with normal people, not just teachers, surely?

Imagine the ramshackle mob of semi-literates, assuming that any of them are going to break cover and admit to claiming to be teachers, of course.
