 Posted: Wed Apr 18, 2007 5:46 pm Post subject: One of my students just ate a tea-bag |
 |
|
A group girls in my MS class complained that they were hungry. I told them the only thing I had was a herbal lemon teabag that I had on my desk.
I carried on monitoring the classes activity to come back and find one of them eating the contents of the tea-bag in a dare.
I didn't really know what to do. My sides are hurting from laughing. |

| I'll be the first to admit the title deceived me, and if I'd immediately jumped to the 3rd post, I'd have been doubly inquisitive. But.. |

Really?
OP I wouldn't do anything. I'd just chalk it up as one of those things teens do. I have a huge list....

link please - was it a lemon herbal one made from rice? Can i buy them in England?
I didn't do anything. It was just the two girls who do things like color each others eyelids in with permanent marker- not in my class though.
Problem was the girl with the contents in her mouth showed me which caused me to burst out laughing. She wasn't looking too happy about it and her friends were rather dissapointed (although very amused at the same time) that she hadn't eaten it.
I decided that with only five minutes left to go that rather than sending her off to the toilet to spit it out and risk having to explain to another teacher what she was up to and get herself in trouble (again) she would just sit it out.
The last five minutes of class were wasted trying not to laugh. Even more so when the girl next to her produced the paper cup that I had on the desk with some of the tea bag still in it and told me that she hadn't finished it yet.  and she would lose the bet if she didn't.

| With those charactors in your classroom, you must love going to work everyday. It must be good fun entertainment. |

| I usually keep some chun-won cookies or crackers and my desk and give them to students who come by my desk. I've found that my cookie-fed students eventually grow docile. Alternatively, if you make it a regular habit of treating a class with snacks (say your last class on friday night), they have no concept that you're a nice teacher and become pricks. Give 'em an inch, they try to take a mile. Children. |

It just goes to show you that there are too many kids out there with moms who don't know hot to cook or they refuse to cook. You'd be surprised at how many little kids come to the hagwon not having had breakfast. My kids are always hungry. Die hard feminists are ruining the world.  |

That's what I've always thought of Korea as: Land of the die hard feminists.
Kids are weird but so are adults when mixed with alcohol. |

Well, I was thinking I wouldn't post what happened to me today until I saw this thread...
I am sitting down in one of those little restaurants today (the ones that sell everything from jiggae to Doan cass)....I just got an order of Gun-Man-du and a kid walks in from off the street....grabs a man-du, dips it in the sauce and then leaves as he proceeds to eat it.....
I was absolutely dumbfounded....speechless, and able to catch flies in my mouth.
I never met this kid before, and he didn't look as though he were starving.
So, hows that for wierd!

Have you ever seen a feminist in Korea? If so they are the first.
Oh so girls can't have 조 as a family name?
I'm sure that's my wife's family name  |
