Overheard in the teacher’s lounge:
Teacher 1: “Remember the kid who glued his hand to the table, and I had to call a custodian to get a solvent that would get him unstuck?”
Teacher 2: “Remember the one who ate off the tops of several pencils, and I had to send him to the nurse to make sure he hadn’t perforated his intestines?”
Teacher 3: “Remember the one who stuffed a gum wrapper in his ear and finally had to be sent home to get it removed?”
(Collective sigh from all of them, followed by a few moments of contemplative silence.)
Teacher 1: “Hard to believe this is high school.”
It's great to know that all the squirrely nimrods are NOT in elementary school. Kids are so "entertaining," the job is never dull.
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny - especially finding out these are kids from high school!
ReplyDeleteHow funny. A punch line.
ReplyDeleteMake that a perfect punch line.
ReplyDeleteOh, nothing surprises me. I worked in a middle school with kids who had failed a couple grades and should have been in high school. You wouldn't believe their shenanigans.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I was one of those kids :)
