I'm (27F) an ALT at a middle school. The school has asked me to run an after lunch English club for 20 mins every day. We usually play Uno, or Scrabble or chat.
For the last week or so, the same 5-6 second grade boys have been coming and the jokes have been increasingly inappropriate. From just saying fuck and motherfucker, to today, asking me to sit on their lap and then making the words 'sex', 'ed' and 'av' during scrabble.
My tactic so far has been to ask "whats that (sex)? Can you explain it to me in English?" And they surprisingly do it well. I don't mind the bad words, it's kind of funny. I don't want to encourage it by laughing but I also think a strong shocked reaction is what they want.
It's moreso talking about sex, porn and them asking me to sit on their lap and lay down across their laps made me superrrr uncomfortable. I dont want to get them in trouble by telling another teacher, but I also feel disrespected knowing they wouldnt act this way with a JTE.
What's the best way to respond?
EDIT: omg ok in retrospect i shouldnt have asked them to explain sex further. It's very inappropriate and fuels it. The context is that it was in a scrabble game where I ask them to explain every word they put down. And i thought that it would make them feel too awkward or they wouldnt be able to in English so then I would get rid of the word on the board. But i should have just said no and removed it.
