Some funny things kids say...
Well, not just the kids. Lets just say this page is for things I hear and see that just crack me up. Or things that make me roll my eyes. Or things that make me think "WTF did that kid just say?!?!?"
Its a 'lost in translation' page! And I might as well include funny things my co-workers do and say as well.

NB
All my fellow teachers are school are really nice and welcoming people. So anything that goes in here is not meant offensively in any way...
Students
Student: "Thank you, sir!"
Me: "Sir? You only say 'Sir' when talking to boys..."
Student: "Oh of course! Thank you, woman!"
On hearing a student call me 'dragon teacher'...
Me: "Do you think I am an angry teacher?"
Student: "No we love you, you are dragon!"
Me: "...."
Student: "Dragon foot! Dragon teacher!"
Ha. They have spotted the tattoo...
"Oh my gaaahd!"
"Oh my gaaahd!"
"Fuck you!" You would be surprised at how often I hear this and no one tells them off... I sometimes wonder if American t.v and movies has desensitized Korea to foul language.
Co - "Teacher Bonnie has 4 initials in her name, because she has 4 names"
Student - "Teacher Bonnie Bonnie Bonnie is TBBB!"
S - "Sex sex sex"
M - "Stop! You can't use that word its offensive! Rude!"
S - "I sing 'Sex on the Beach!" (student proceeds to play me a song on his phone...)
'Teacher! How do you spell fuck?'
- They had tried writing it in Korean, I told them off and also told them no, thats not how you spell it in either english or Korean. Then the argument raged whether it was spelt with a 'b' or an 'f'...
Teachers
Some interesting ways of disciplining students:
- Making them stand at the back of the class with their arms int he air
- Making them stand at the front of the class with their heads against the wall
- Smacking them on the head with the 'pointing stick'
Co has taught them to say "What the hell?"... Is that really necessary?. He has also taught them to call each other "loser" when they do badly. SOMEBODY STOP THIS MAN!!!

Today he told a student to "shut the fuck up" both to make him be quiet and to get a laugh. I honestly nearly died. My hands flew to my mouth and all I could do was shake my head. One of the biys in the class asked if I was alright - they had seen my reaction. I just said, in a voice loud enough for Co to hear, that it was a very rude thing to say and the word was offensive. The students listening all understood. I hope Co did too.
Not appropriate to use that sort of language on or around students.
So I have stopped eating the lunches at school, mainly because they are gross. But I can't tell the vice principal this, so instead I tell him I am on a diet.
"Oh, good idea!" he says cheerfully.
Later that week...
"Bonnie, I do not think your diet is working" (from one of my female co workers)
It turns out the entire staff have been watching my weight since the diet comment.
Ugh.
