I wished I had written down the hysterical things that my students have said or written over the years. I've forgotten so many, but have a couple of my favorites to share. On a test about the colonies, the answer was to have been New Amsterdam. Their answer was - New Hamsterdam. Cracked me up! On another test the answer was to be the Duke of York. Their answer was - Duck of York. :)
One day we had a mass restroom break because I had to visit the facilities too. Not many chances for teachers to use the facilities with a full classroom. I went into the girls restroom, came out and as I was washing my hands, one of my boy students started stammering and stuttering. He said, "Mrs. B., did you just come out of there?" He indicated the restroom with his hand like he couldn't even say the word. I was puzzled but replied, "Yes, I did." He began stammering again and then said, "I didn't think teachers ever went!" My girls were standing right beside me and we all lost it. We were almost in tears from laughing.
My husband doesn't even bother to ask me what is wrong when I am hysterically laughing as I grade papers. Sometimes the things they write are just too funny.
Here's to teachers everywhere!
