Teach: Hush the Kung Fu is used in X-RATED foreign films (and Hush Fu has been known to star in them).

Hush The F*** U* is the politically correct form of STFU.

Ahhhh....love learning something new at the end of the day! LOL

I WILL then, at all costs,remember the politically correct way to ask my students to be quiet tomorrow.

(Yup...and then I'll be posting in the "looking for a job" thread because I'll not only have been fired, I'll have been blackballed in every school on the Western side of the state! LOL)

578 times today! Everytime he grunted or cleared his throat I made a little mark on a scratch pad.

The instructor spoke with him at break but it's obvious he doesn't believe he has a problem or that it's disturbing.

I started sighing after everytime he did it. He asked ME "Are you tired? You sigh too much!"

Hey Zachy....what about tape recording him and then giving him the tape to listen to?

Why not cough or clear your throat when he does it.. casually imitate him? Maybe that will bring it to his attention. You could speak to the students around you and see if they'll do it, too. They just need to act like it's perfectly normal. The teacher can't say anything, because clearing the throat is not against the rules.

i think someone should take him aside and let him know what some of you are annoyed about. see what he says. be very direct.

i wouldn't do something to humilitate him in front of the group.

578 times?! That's crazy! Either he's a total a$$ or he really doesn't realize he's doing it, kind of like a nervous thing or something? I don't know but that would drive me insane too!! I would definitely switch seats or else I would turn around and look at him every time he made a noise to make him aware of it. I love the idea about the brownies! LOL!!

Zachsmom, for your next class, come armed with:

1. An ordinary metal scrub bucket

2. a. A box of paper clips (if you don't want to get thrown out of class) OR
b. a couple sets of marbles (if you want to get everyone's attention)

Then, every time he is disgusting, drop one of your items into the bucket.

I think they call that fair play.

What did your instructor suggest?
