Thread: Stupid things I say

I usually just look down at them, stroke my beard, and ask if they'd like to try again . . . what's really funny is when a principal does it, and the kids see it!

Recently, my physics teacher meant to say "sit" but said "shit" instead. I always catch this stuff quicker than most, and so I count the short seconds until the room erupts. It amazes me how long it takes for students to settle down, and how surprised they are when our teachers act human...

I always felt like a moron when I said, Now who did that? to my middle schoolers. LOL No way would I ever get an answer to THAT question!

One day last week I had to be out all day to observe my intern. I was two doors down from my room, so the kids knew better than to misbehave since I was right there all day. Of course, there is always ONE. He decided it would be a good idea to step up on my rotating book rack and take it for a spin.

He left me an apology letter saying he was sorry for "riding the book shelf". The next day I wanted to tell him to use his word--riding--and tell him how that would bend the pole in the bookshelf and tear it up.

Before I knew it, I'd better never hear of him "riding the pole" in class again. One of my more "mature" girls got so tickled that I thought she was going to throw up from laughing so hard.

OMG Ima Teach that was good. LOL

For the life of me I don't know why, but one of my students thought he would be cute and ask if I was a vegetarian. Getting a little tongued tied in his class disruption he instead asked if I was a virgin. You know, it was the perfect mistake to get him to shut up for the rest of the period.

Ah... that's classic, Kontan, just classic.... :P
