have heard so many but I cannot remember any good ones except:

Last night, I got on a kid about speaking Korean.

T: Don't speak Korean.
S: I'm not Korean!!
T: (I give up) (Is McDonald's hiring back home?) (What am I doing this weekend?) (DON'T LAUGH, DON'T LAUGH) So... What country are you from?

Thought that was funny

I have a particularly bad student in my kindergarten class who likes to lie about things here is how it goes

Bad Student: Teacher, Billy Puck you! Teacher Me Billy Puck You
Me: Huh??
Another Student: Teacher Billy NO Puck You no Puck you!!
Me: What???
Entire Class: Billy No PUCK YOU!

Confused

I teach a group of high school kids preparing for their university entrance exams.

Last week one of the them said: "If I fail the entrance exams I will kill myself."

The scary thing was the serious, determined look on his face.

Even scarier, was that the Korean teachers thought it was no big deal.

The only strange thing I head today was "styroform" instead of "styrofoam"...not very funny though

But, speaking of funny, I hear many people say "funny" instead of "fun".

"I went to Thailand. It was funny."

There were some middle school students and I looking at a handout which described how parents discipline their children in different countries. It spun on chirpily about how in Japan bad children are sent out of the house while in the West children are sent to their rooms to consider their 'sins' without dinner. I described how that's true of Canada, happened to me, and they listened with interest. Next came the handout's chirpy question, 'How do parents discipline children in YOUR country?' to which they said, amused and demonstrating vicious blows while smiling, 'they hit!'. So there are no trips to precious, liesurely solitary confinement Laughing

for Korean kids with it settled then and there with a whack or two Shocked
