Any English teachers want to get together and laugh at our students, oops I mean swap resources?

I'd be happy to get the folks at www.tlcteachers.com sponsor a few drinks

The novelty of the mistakes students make has pretty much worn off for me. I don't even bat an eyelid anymore. I'm always interested in meeting other teachers though.

Students' mistakes are a source of delight for me. One guy recently said he didn't like Pattaya because prostitues were too expensive there (meant extensive). Gotta laugh.

I've never had a student bring up prostitution yet...hehe...ok, that was pretty funny. Sounds like you have better stories than I do.

I had a student (year 1) that wanted to wash my hands. Had to repeat a few times, 'Do you want to wash my hands?' before he realised his mistake.

Maybe it was for real. One home visit I do the mother follows me into the bathroom on arrival to check that I am washing my hands properly before teaching her child. I often want to say "Do you want to wash my hands for me?" On wicked days I want to invent a cold and sneeze all over the girl just to see the mother's face...

Haha...this is hilarious. Some of these people are a little too paranoid. Guess, sars must have had left an impact on hand washing.....

Wow, I must be teaching angels or something. My students are all great! I have had to deal with some unwanted advances from female students, but nothing too major. Since quite a few people here know me and where I've worked, there are a few stories I can't tell since I respect my students' privacy....
