With school out for most of us, I thought these stories were pretty funny. If you enjoy them, follow the link to read the whole article.
Why Waste Paper?
I recently asked a student where his homework was. He replied, “It’s still in my pencil.”

GRAND-PRIZE WINNER
After a coworker had finished his English lecture and his class had filed out, a tenth grader stayed
behind to confront him.
“I don’t appreciate being singled out,” he told his teacher.
The teacher was confused. “What do you mean?”
“I don’t know what the ‘oxy’ part means, but I know what a ‘moron’
is, and you looked straight at me when you said it.”

Driven Crazy
During the driver’s-ed class that my friend taught, a student approached a right turn.

“Use your turn signal,” my friend reminded her.
“No one’s coming,” said the
student.
“It doesn’t matter. It might help those behind you.”
Chastened, the student turned around to the students in the backseat and said, “I’m turning right up ahead.”

Let’s Ask the Professor
During snack time, a kindergartner asked why some raisins were yellow while others were black. I didn’t know the answer, so I asked my friend, a first-grade teacher, if she knew. “Yellow raisins are made
from green grapes, and black raisins
are made from red grapes,” she
explained.
One little boy suggested, “Maybe that’s why she teaches first grade,
because she’s just a little bit smarter than you.”
