I've got a situation almost exactly like the OP at the moment, and it's got me to the point where I think it would be better to quit the school because I don't know how to get it resolved.

I have a class of three 3rd grade middle school girls. Two of them are friends, and the other girl is a year younger so she sits well away from the two. They've figured out that I'm the kind of person who embarrasses easily, and even a question like "do you think Lee Hyo-ri is sexy?" said by one of them will turn my face scarlet Embarassed

(like that hahaha)

These two girls have obviously realized that they can have fun by embarrassing teacher in every class and whilst they started off with embarrassing questions, they've evidently realized that they can use their sexuality to greater effect. They're forever touching, hugging each other in class, hitching their skirts up their legs whenever I come to their desks to help them, or asking me if I think the other is sexy. One day one of the girls must have removed her bra in the breaktime between the Korean teachers class and my class, and she certainly made sure I noticed. Shocked

I thought to myself that I must have been totally misinterpreting the signs as this sort of thing shouldn't happen!! Especially when the other girl they weren't friends with was in the class, I didn't think they'd do anything like that in front of another person. But on Friday the other girl was absent and the worst thing happened - about 20 minutes into the class one of the girls said "teacher I'm hot" and undid all the buttons on her blouse, and again she was braless.. Shocked

That really panicked me so I just threw some wordsearches at them and disappeared for the rest of the class, at least long enough for them to have gone home. I'm dreading the thought of class again this week (next class is Tuesday) because I really don't know what to do. I've told my director that there's a respect problem with the class but my director doesn't think it's a problem. I don't know how to bring the subject up with my director that the girls are harrassing me in class, because I'm worried that when asked about it the girls might try and turn it round and say that I asked them to do it or something. I'm also worried that the girls must be telling their friends how they are having fun embarrassing teacher in such a fashion and that eventually someone will hear about this and it's all going to get way out of hand.

What on earth should I do other than quit?

tell the director what you just told us.. that you were worried about the story getting twisted by the girls pov and the problems that would follow, so, you thought it was better to stay quiet, but, it is getting completely out of control and the only other option you have is to quit..

kinda risky...

these directors can be eggheads at the best of times.. tough call..

maybe ask the director to sit in on some lessons..

good luck

If you can't quit because of money/visa whatever... I would always keep the classroom door open for starters and if possible, ask a Korean teacher to stay in the class with you at all times. Even if they are just working quietly in the back, don't be alone with those girls.

I thought I had it bad when I had a first year middle school girl said i had a nice hip. I was surprised at the question and tried not to show that it bothered me and turned it into an English lesson. This is a hip and this is a bum.

Never had trouble after that. But then again i left that job soon after that event.

Bring in a video camera (or if you don't have one, get a tape recorder) and record every lesson. If they do anything to start something, and you do nothing to reciprocate, then your butt is covered and you can also have evidence to prove they are causing problems.

Too drunk to read.... where is the drunk thread?

Isn't this the thread where one of the girls said, "Blah blah is sexy, and she wants to show you just how sexy she really is."

That line's been kicking around in my head since I read it - what - like a month ago? That perverted middle schooler's got some good stuff.

But how to use it? Do I say, "I'm sexy, and I want to show you just how sexy I really am." Or is it better if I tell her, "I think you're sexy, and I want you to show me just how sexy you really are."

Because, one way or another, I'm using it when I go out whoring tonight.

Golly, I wonder where the moderators are to continue to allow such personal name calling personal attacks in the forum in violation of the forum rules. Not to mention the written threat and challenge.

Once again, I don't much care

If you get your high by being foul-mouthed in the forum rather than in real life (though I imagine you don't constrain yourself to the anonymity of the internet without regularly being decked) then by all means, play ball. Which is what I'm off to do.

Enjoy your high, it'll end soon enough.
