I propose we should name all trouble maker kids "Tony". This way when you get a new kid and he comes with an English name and it's "Tony", you know this is a secret brotherhood sign and you can crack down on him from the get go, saving the "I'm a cool teacher, have a beer kid" routine for a kid that will grasp it.

i can agree to that.

umm, i dont like this idea...

[formerflautist]

I think it's a great idea. But maybe we just be more open about it and name the kid Annoying Fvck.

Great idea. I've heard that a number of teachers in Thailand do that, but I can't remember what the name is.

But what would you name girls? I work at a girls' school where there aren't really have any stand-out trouble-makers (the Korean teachers would probably disagree, but I only see most of them once a week and there's no one who's seriously got on my nerves), but based on my hogwan experience, I suggest we name them all 'Molly'. 'Tony and Molly' - that works, doesn't it?

I'm in. Tony or Ant-knee.

better to choose a name which means trouble maker.

ITS sooooooooooooo true. My tony never does his homework and is late for class religiously.

[Lizara]

My Tony is a decent kid, but loud and as dumb as... well, you can choose your own simile there.

This does lead to one problem though... what am I supposed to do with my class with FOUR real brats? I can't very well name them all Tony... and I hate that Tony 1, Tony 2, Tony 3 stuff.

This is such a brilliant idea. I'm in.

I vote we make this a sticky.

What about giving all the bad kids names which have a tony sound in them? For example:

Antony
Antonio
Antoine

I am sure there are more, but I can't think of anymore right now.
