What's the most disturbing thing a student has said? I know you have something, so spit it out!

[sillywilly]

I touched them!!!!!

[jack diamond]

why don't you wear some clothes to class, teacher, and teach instead of dancing all the time?

ha, students! show them a yard and they want an inch.

1st year student: I love you, I want to marry you and have your baby!

This from one girl after I bought a group of my high school students ice cream cones at Mc Donalds.

She regularly stalks me and peeks around corners to see if I'm around.

She also has a 22 year-old boyfriend!!!!! She talked about him in class... has dated him for 3 years!!

I tend to prefer girl students to boys in the younger classes, because most often they are better behaved, shy things that are bullied by the raucous boys..as a result I'm usually a bit biased when it comes to games and points scoring.
One day one boy said "teacher, you like the girls because no wife"!!..haha

[mindmetoo]

Yeah surely the students who say "I love you!" in class.

"Teacher, I love you."

"I love all my students."

"But teacher, don't you love only me?"

"Errr... okay everyone turn to page 34..."

This wasn't said, rather written on a test by a ten year old girl.

Q: How many apples do you want?

Her answer: I want sex.

Not disturbing, but damn funny.

Among a group of returnees who'd stayed overseas for a couple of years, was a girl with glasses. Shortish, with piercing questions periodically. Her Dad seemed to be rich, I guessed, since she said he was into remote control model helicopters and went to Jeju to fly it (from Ulsan) about ten times a year. I thought that was funny, a grown Korean man on the plane to Jeju with his model helicopter in his luggage. But one day his daughter, during class, asked 'teacher, do you know so and so (Korean name)?'. I said no. She continued, 'Well so and so (Korean name) is a very excellent student in our middle school with very good English, everyone respects her, and she asked me to ask you a question'. 'Ok, Shoot', I said. She had a pinched nose look behind her glasses as she asked in her precise, nasal tone, 'Teacher, do you have any regrets? And did you once do something in your life that you regret and wish you hadn't done and feel badly about?'. It was the way she said it that bothered me, that it wasn't her question, and my gut told me that behind it was the assumption I'd done something awful to be in Korea teaching English, otherwise I'd be in my own country. She was a real pill. About a month later we were talking about pain, and fear. I'd been talking about being out in the forest one moonlit night on a mountaintop on an ancient battlefield (it was an old fort) and getting the heebie jeebies, spooked, which expressed itself to me then as concern about 'wild dogs' since I was crashing around in the bushes, it being dark, making alot of what would be inviting noise to said 'possible wild dogs'. She said, 'teacher, I'm not afraid of anything', like prissy prize student. I asked if she'd be afraid of this, then drew up a scenario where she was the victim of a serial killer in considerable detail. That was the last I saw of her

"then we did the perversion"
I think they ment periscope or something, but I'm not sure...

An ajossi once asked me in front of everybody if I had ever experienced genital dysfunction due to encounters with prostitutes.

[skinhead]

"You're the fucking king of turds with shit on yer door. Fucken wanker!"

At a christian school during my training. Student's name: Joe Angel. Word.

[jajdude]

A middle school boy said something like, "I would like all Japanese and Americans to die." That sounded pretty bad.

[jaebea]

Why does it tend to be the boys who are so passionate about this sort of thing? :(

I wish they'd just move along..

Had some interesting situations where the kids would be mis-pronouncing "Coke".

"Can I have a coke?" turned into something rather risque. I didn't have the heart to explain the uncontrollable laugher.. :)

jae.

I had a young woman say to me during a spoken test that she loved women! I replied "Really?", and she said "Yes, I love women, they're great!!". I let it drop, but it was an all women's school!

[seoulmon]

I asked my students one thing they wanted to change about schools in Korea. Most of the time the answer is pretty standard.

One time a student said that there are too many lesbians in the all girls school. Lesbians. She said it was common, and there was often one 'tuff dike' (my words) who would pressure other girls to get it on.
