Today, my co-teacher asked me to choose the most fitting English word to describe child sexual abuse. When I chose, she pointed to it and said, "Ah some foreign teachers do this". Of course I replied, "Yes, some Koreans do it also." It didn't come off as offensive to me, just humorous. I suppose she just wanted to inform me.

I wish I remembered to mention to her how many times I've been Dong-Chimmed this week by students. As well as how I live in a daily fear that's only comparison is a US correctional facility. I seriously can't even walk the halls in safety outside of regularly scheduled classes.

I'm afraid to leave bruises. I think I would be liable. Is there some sort of painful untraceable technique I can administer?? Perhaps a phonebook?[/quote]

Rubber hose works really well....I mean the cops use it to get confessions all the time without leaving marks!
A swat upside the head works for me!

Holding the culprit down and letting his peers all do it to him also works

I worked at a public elem. school for 3 years. It only happened to me once and that was in the first 3 months of me working there.

Had finished a class and was walking through the hallway with my co-teacher and a third grade boy thought it would be funny to try it on me.

I turned around and grabbed his wrist and literally booted him in the butt. Not enough to hurt him in anyway. At the same time telling him with a very angry voice hajima (spl?). The look on the kids face was priceless. Not fear or pain but just shock.

Patted him on the head and said with a calm voice dont do that, ok? He nodded.

All students just stopped and watched so obviously the word had spread - don't do this.

The co-teacher asked what happened and told her. I explained that in western culture for children or adults to do something like that is extremely rude and barbaric. She obviously passed that message onto to all homeroom teachers.

A good ddongchim loosens up the sphincter. Timed just right a ddongchim can make a trip to the squatter into a pleasant enough experience.

when kids start to try to do it, I just do the same thing as when they try to flip the 'bird' and think it's funny was hell....


I tell them that in America a teacher is allowed to cut off the fingers of the kids who do this to them.... for a dramatic effect, i take a pair of scissors in the room, and fake cutting my own finger off.... the look on some of their faces is priceless. I really play it up...

It's one of the top 10 things I absolutely hate.
We have posters at school outside the classrooms now about it. It hasn't happened since they were put up.
I think my boss thought I would actually kill one of them. No I wouldn't by the way and poking them with a stick while they hung in a cage in the corner of the room seems more appropriate.
I have a picture of the poster somewhere, I'll try to find it.

I had 2 male middle school students do a bait and switch and they got me. They would not tell me which one actually did it, so they ended up kissing each other on the mouth.

Nobody tried that again.
