Students Say the Darndest Things- Volume 2

[See original post here]

One of the greatest things about being a teacher is that I get to witness students being hilarious on a daily basis. It usually comes at the most inopportune or unexpected time, which of course makes it all the more funny! They make each day worth it!

Below is my latest list of student comments:

• “There’s this thing called online dating, you should try it.”
• “Do you wear sunglasses?” T shakes head “Yes.” “You should. Always gotta look good.”
• S: “My water digested.” T: “Ok?” S: So…I gotta go to the bathroom.
• “Ms Schultek, no offense but with that paper clip in your lip, you look like you have a piercing and I just wouldn’t do that.”
• S: “Ms. Schultek, I have always wanted a bloody nose.” T: “WHY?!” S: “For the attention. I really do want it.”
• S: “Do you have anyone famous in your family?” T: “Not that I can think of.” S: “You sure? Like Andrew Jackson or Justin Beiber?”
• T: “Remind me that I have to make copies for math when we get back from recess.” S: Don’t worry, I wont forget. I have a good rememory!”
• When reflecting on their own writing, a student said “I think I’m doing pretty good because I’m even hooked on my own writing!”
• When preparing for our Fire Prevention Bulletin Board on kitchen safety a student said,”If parents get a divorce and one parent has to raise the baby, they have to hold it while cooking.”

And the two comments that take the cake in the SWEETNESS category:

• “When I am a mom, if my child or I had to die I’d choose to die because I lived a long life and they have a lot to still achieve.”
• “I want to be in the army. I’ll sacrifice my life so they don’t have to sacrifice theirs.”
