Hmmm foulmouthed...just out of curiosity what obscenities have I uttered at you?  
Once again your limited intellect uses words out of context...I truly wish you would invest in dictionary before you post again. Your incompetence in English is truly staggering.
foul�mouthed
Pronunciation: 'faul-"ma�[th]d, -"mautht
Function: adjective
: given to the use of obscene, profane, or abusive language
Obscene..no  Profane....no Abusive....hmmmm no
I feel that my comments have not been overly harsh and quite on the money. You are not an ESL person. Your posts are so inflamatory and ignorant that you have had to change your id because of people continually spamming you. WHAT A SURPRISE NOT
Tell you what stop posting crap and people will stop telling you what a schmuck you are.
schmuck
Pronunciation: 'shm&k
Function: noun
Etymology: Yiddish shmok, literally, *beep*
slang : JERK 4 |

The fact here is, that you don't belong in the school teaching girls of this age. If an adult, a professional, a teacher, handed the task of educating, supervising, and so on ... if that person is embarassed and shy and immature enough to allow such a question, the topic of sex to cause such distress, then you don't belong there. It's such as if you were teaching a science/health class and giggle each time a child or you personally say p*enis or v*agina, etc ...
You should be professional and honest enough to not put yourself in such a situation |
I agree. If you are uncomfortable with this, then it can easily turn into a contest between students to see who can embarass the teacher the most, and the original point of being there (to learn English) is lost. |

What about discipline? How many of your teachers did you question about the sexiness of certain people, or ask sexual questions more detailed than this? So you are regarded as a bit of a prude, but your students lay off the personal questions.
Personally I go with the flow, and brush off the questions with humour. Maybe a long time ago personal questions made me blush, but even that made the students more relaxed because I approached it with humour afterwards. I don't think a bit of blushing warrants a career change. |

But judging by the poster's comments, this is not a bit of blushing. It seems that the class has been hijacked and turned into a competition to see who can embarass the teacher the most. Either the teacher must regain control of the class (which seems a fast-fading option) or think about a "career" change (if you can apply the term "career" to teaching ESL in Korea) |

The teacher needs to go on a bender and spend a million or so up hooker hill or around cheongnyangni. After that, he should be cured of any blushes permanently. |
