Today in my first class, one of my students had picture cards to recite to me for homework. In his first card, there was a picture of a lion with a frypan and the word 'cook' written on it. The kid looked at the card and proudly announced; 'Cock!'

There are some great moments in my job.

I was wondering the same thing myself. Your guess is as good as mine.

(puts head in hands) I hope for the sake of your student, you were the only one in the class that got the joke. You don't have to cover the birds and the bees in english...do you? '_'

Fortuantely, despite how popular Japanese swear words are in Australia, the Japanese dont really swear in english much. and the kids were about eight, so i doubt it.
But I did tell him specifically never to say cock.
And nah, we're basically a cram school, that stuff gets covered in mainstream school I imagine.
