Was that a "lack" of reaction on your part...as your story doesn't say what you actually did ?
If the couple were not Emiratis, I would have spoken up..."Excuse me, we are talking to the teacher at the moment and we will be finished shortly" or words to that effect.
Toujours la politesse.

Damn right you should have spoken up. I would have, although initially politely, even if they were Emirati. I don't see that anyone is exempt from the use of manners.
Lovely comments from teacher too.

Couldn't the teacher have added:
"And why did you give him such a stupid name?"

Oh i loved it up there. Biggest difference was on the roads - actually letting you in to lanes and not cutting you up just cos they can. And of course I miss the Bond-themed gents' loos in Espionage

why should you be the one to say something about it though...she could have said something herself instead of waiting for you to do the honours...

The bogs I miss are the ones at the famous Paramount bar, where all loyal Aberdeen fans where able to take a piss in a urinal, with a TV screen inside where they would show photos of Rangers players!!!!!!
