Student: Miss are you in your feelings or something??
Student: Once you hit 15 it's basically over.
Me: I'm almost 30, what does that make me? Dead?
Student: It means you're old.
Student: On a scale of 1 to Pacific Ocean how salty are you?
Student: Miss, looks like there's just two adults in this room, you & me. Everyone else is just acting like a bunch of children!
(I teach freshmen for the record...)

**I have a senior in my freshmen geography class because when you move to TX from another state they force you to take 9th grade world geo**
Senior Student: Miss, I feel like every time I'm in here surrounded by freshmen for an hour & a half my IQ drops...
Student 1: You see miss what
happened was...I was working on my mix tape over the weekend at home & it
was live & all these people were over & we were recording when all of a
sudden someone busted down the door & came in & robbed me & that's
why I don't have my packet...
Student 2: Dude,
you live in a double gated community that did not happen...
YYYYYAAAAASSSS
ReplyDeleteDifferences in state reqs when you transfer are stupid. See also: NCLB.
LOOOOOOL to the Pacific Ocean salty.. Although had they said the Dead Sea, I would have been way more impressed.
Gah hear kids are awesome. I appreciate the effort by the kid and his "robbers stole my homework" story.
ReplyDeleteThat seems like such a strange rule about the geography, but it sounds like the senior is providing you with lots of humour !
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh these are hilarious, and imagine how old they would think I am!?
ReplyDeleteThese kids & their lack of a filter kills me!
DeleteDifferences state to state were hard as a student! I remember in my 9th grade world history class there was a senior (this was in Alabama) and when I was a sophomore in Colorado I had to take 9th grade civics. In 11th grade I had to take another year of biology because the state of Montana required two years, not one like I had in Alabama. Math was the worst moving around though because the curriculum was inconsistent state to state and led to a lot of gaps in my education.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness I can't even imagine! I don't know exactly how, but somehow that all needs to change so there aren't such large discrepancies between states.
DeleteThese are hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThese kids are a riot. I've already got 2 quotes for my next one.
DeleteLOL, these are always the best! I cracked up at the Pacific Ocean/salty one!
ReplyDeletehahaha Oh man, this makes me almost miss the ridiculousness of being a student! (And thinking that 30 is ancient OY.)
ReplyDeleteHaha right?! Different students but my first year, on my 24th birthday, I had a student tell me I needed to hurry up & have kids because my eggs were dying...
DeleteMan I don't know how you do it! lol I'm very sensitive and I would be trying hard to keep me from wanting to scream at them hahaha. The Senior comment cracked me up! :P
