Evil Kid

[羽之助]

Since I started a Cute Kid thread so whenever a kid acts, well, cute, I can relate the story, I might as well have the polar opposite.

Today one of the middle-school JETs I know told me an interesting tale. At this one school, the English class is really far behind because there's one kid who is allowed to talk loudly about whatever enters his head all throughout class. There's also another kid who would be really good in the class if he didn't have to sit next to this particular spawn of Satan. So, when he was struggling with the work, my friend went over to help him out.

I forget what the problem he had was, but it wasn't too hard, so my friend just explained in Japanese how to solve it. That set Satan-spawn off.

SS: "Hey, the gaijin is trying to speak Japanese!"
Friend (who normally is unperturbed by being called "gaijin") - "I can speak Japanese, thank you very much. And it's "gaikokujin".
SS: "What a funny gaijin! Try and speak again! Say 'Konnichiwa!'
Friend: "It's 'gaikokujin'"
SS: "Funny gaijin funny gaijin funny gaijin!"

I would have slapped him. I volunteered to go with her the next time, actually, just in case I have the chance.

Wow, i would have punched the kid square in the face, and considering how much it takes me to snap on a usualy basis.

o-o
sounds like Az's 3 stouges but not as bad..and one person.

Slap that kid silly next chance you get

Is this an elementary school or a junior high school?

If it was my junior high school, I would have explained the situation to the social studies teacher/judo instructor. He also happens to double as the school's brute squad.

He's pretty protective of all the female teachers, and he talks like a yakuza member in a really violent anime cartoon. And at almost six feet tall, with a judo master's build, I've seen him make ornery sannensei boys drop to their knees and apologize to the vice principal in keigo. Not kidding.

or if punishment were up to me, i would have made him stay in the classroom during recess and write "I will not make fun of the gaiKOKUjin" in romaji a hundred times or so.

I would have told his homeroom teacher, and then it would end up being told to whoever would give him a nice 'talking to.' I also would have ignored him, entirely, once he started.

Follow him into the bathroom and give him a swirly. Nothing like some good ol' western bullying to set a little japanese kid straight.

Give him a Nipple Cripple followed by a Wet Willy.....

On a serious not get a teacher involved, taddle tailing is the wave of the future!

[Antinomia]

Junior high. I gave PLF's suggestion out to her, which earned me a laugh and a "They wouldn't care!"

SS: "Hey, the gaijin is trying to speak Japanese!"
Friend (who normally is unperturbed by being called "gaijin") - "I can speak Japanese, thank you very much. And it's "gaikokujin".
SS: "What a funny gaijin! Try and speak again! Say 'Konnichiwa!'"
Friend: "It's 'gaikokujin'"
SS: "Funny gaijin funny gaijin funny gaijin!"

She should have said "Only if you say 'And a jolly good evening to you, kind lady.'"

Having been in this position twice in the past, THAT always shuts them the hell up.

I hate it when someone makes fun of someone else for not knowing a language, when they don't know many other languages themselves(like hte ones they make fun of speak).

[Urban~Ninja]

You could also just go "Sorry i dont understand you" in perfect Japanese "Your Japanese is pretty bad, i cant understand what your saying" and make him feel shit.

So true. Oh so so true.

And at first I thought the kid was just ignorant and didn't know any better, but after the kid said "Try and speak again! Say 'Konnichiwa!" that's when I said to myself "Ok, that kid is a dick, and knows damn well what he's saying."

Slap away!
