Thanks for the advice. �My co has given their thoughts on it and it looks like if things get worse they will be no help. �If he keeps doing stuff I'm going to have a talk with his homeroom teacher and head English teacher. �I don't have a class with him till next week.�

I'm not an uptight woman. At my other school I've heard boys discussing me and caught em staring and there's a certain haha factor but I know when a line is crossed for me. �This kid is begging for a stomp. �

Also to whoever thinks I'm a troll... Really?. �I have things going on in my life that are even bigger than some kid with a tiny hard on looking at me. I'm sorry I couldn't be on here everyday but I came back, answered non trollishly. �Just cause a woman happens to have a sense of humor and picks a name like mine doesn't mean she's an idiot. �I've been working with kids/teens for years. I'm not going to lie on one for attention. �That's beneath me my love.�

Infact that's one of the reasons why I DO NOT post on here as much as I would like because everything turns to a "troll hunt". �I'm here legally, got my Coe legally after much hardship, I got my visa the proper way and am working legally and i am asking for honest advice. �My god.�

My thing with this situation is I've worked with kids before but the respect level is different. Coming from a different culture i didn't want to do things the wrong way. �Like back home I can send a student out the class. Here? �Not so much. � I'm not totally green to the role of teaching but I am green to what is ok over here. �

I was simply seeking advice.�

Really. No sense in getting tweaked over some little maggot kid. But hey, next time just blow them off. If not, they win. Can't have that. Good luck to you and remember: every day is a new day!

Well, at least you've shown you're a classy lady, if not a troll... Wink

If I were you I'd make a Japanese size joke, and then laugh. Might shut him up if you make him turn red.

What exactly were the co-teacher's thoughts?

First, I'd like to apologize to the the OP if my comments were construed as insensitive or in any way dismissive. Also, having discussed it with someone more familiar with Japanese law than myself, I would urge you to contact the site www.houterasu. They can help you. People need to learn there are consequences for their actions. If you need any help ask.

Thanks for the apology and I guess I can say sorry too. I've been really stressed and I did get a bit snippy.

I meant the company I work for. Their advice was wear looser fitting clothes. Lol right. I'm a 32D and that's a lot on a small framed woman. I'm going to check that link out but I only have a few more months at this job is what I tell myself.

Really? I didn't detect any snippyness. Either way, it's all good. However, if I were working there with you we'd sort that kid out.
Enjoy,
