Improper behavior

Hi

Is the phrase improper behavior good choice of words in a situation such as this? Any other typical words?

(Students going out on a field trip)

(Teacher)

I do not expect a bit of improper behavior from any of you.

I was appalled by your improper behavior at the book fair yesterday.

Thanks,

Tom

I just thought of hanky panky . Although it has sexual connotations, it also means mischievous behavior . Would it work at all in my sentences?

improper behaviour is very stiff. How about bad behaviour, good behaviour?

You also need to consider the age of your students, Are they 8? Are they 28?

How is their English?
