I thought they were just funny, endearing. my nurturing instincts flair
when I see stuff that intimates that children are stupid.
Now I know that you said what they Wrote was stupid but still.
What if they were looking at your blog? They might be you know. then
you would getting your wife in trouble.

Not that I am yelling at you.

I still love you.

I did that in high school! It’s if you don’t know the answer you be as funny as possible and maybe get credit! Like one time in theology I didn’t know pauls journey at all and I knew my teacher liked Led Zeppelin so I wrote like all the lyrics to stairway to heaven and I got credit!!!….. The teacher was fired later that year…

I read number 3 over and over again trying to make it make sense. Then I gave up and moved onto the parenthetical statement, and laughed like crazy.

This is Bea and I just want to put out the disclaimer that these are highlights and not the norm. I have some students who are actually really very smart, but their research papers didn’t make me cry tears of laughter and some of down right depression.
I’ll try to start my list sooner next year we don’t miss any real gems.

Oh. Dear. Lord. I love this.

I’ve thought about keeping track of the scary, weird, and funny things I hear as a teacher and writing a book. Tell Bea she can coauthor! haha

I like number 3. It is right on the verge of making sense, but just doesn’t close the deal. I agree, hilarious but a little sad at the same time.
