New classroom. This one’s audio-visual screen goes up and down with a couple of the buttons in a 12-button (dunno why so many) Mandarin-labelled control panel, which caused me a bit of fumbling, though I got it eventually.
End of class, girl comes up and says, confidential-stylee:-
“Teacher, can I help you get it up?”
I choked a bit, (especially when I saw it slowly dawn on her what she’d said, blushing through “prettily” toward “puce”. This is a fairly advanced class) but I more or less held it together until after I’d replied
I can’t think of anything they’ve said. But on one test paper they had to answer questions about the story and the correct answer for one was “Grandma rode on the bike”.
One of my students wrote “Grandma rode on the dick”. I couldn’t stop laughing.
I don’t quite remember all the silly things my students said, but i do remember what the principal said to me during lunch. He enjoyed practicing his English with us foreigners. He mentioned how practicing his English was great for stimulating his mind. He said we should go speak with the Chinese female teachers so that we can stimulate them. Ha ha ha.
Not about a student, but i had to review a paper which insistently and repeatedly claimed their device granted the authors “an exceptionally high cunt rate”.
