Kids: Today, I was teaching a class, but the kids were all talking...

By Liz - 09/01/2009 08:54 - France

Today, I was teaching a class, but the kids were all talking and chattering. After three soapbox-style speeches about how, "The next person who talks gets a note to take home," one kid looked right at me and went, "Meow." FML

Today, I collected my students' notes in class to check them. One girl, who is always drawing weird anime crap in her sketchbook, turned in just one piece of paper that read, "FUCK YOUR CLASS." FML

It wasn't me

Today, I was tutoring. When my kids were finally working on their own, I stood in my classroom’s doorway to talk to my boss sitting outside about upcoming work. Suddenly, one of my students sitting directly behind me let out the loudest fart ever. I think my boss heard and thought it was me. FML

Descriptive

By Teaching26 - 15/05/2010 07:47 - United States

Today, I lectured my second-grade class to be more descriptive in their writing. I gave them an assignment to describe something in the classroom. I was grading their work later, and one student wrote, "My class is taught by a fat teacher with gray hair." FML

Read the room

Today, I was teaching and a boy sitting in front kept laughing and smiling, even after I asked him to cut it out. I got so annoyed that I jokingly said I'd knock his teeth out, and asked him to leave the class. The kid went to the principal and told him I intended to hurt him. I'm a college professor. FML

Today, while at work I was reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" to me class of 5 year olds. I got near the end of the book and said "Look at the big fat caterpillar" to which one of my pupils replied "Just like you, Miss!" FML

Today, I got to take my 10-year-old son to the junior high school at which I teach. When my students questioned him about what I was like at home, he told the entire class: "Well, she farts all the time." FML

Today, I was giving a lecture to my class I heard a phone go off. Aggravated and exhausted, I asked everyone to turn their phones off. Then the phone rang again. I lost my shit and spent the next half hour calling my students a bunch of "technology whores". Then I realized the phone was mine. FML

Today, during my friend's group's science project presentation, the teacher yelled at me, "Stop making stupid faces at the presenters!" I was smiling. FML

Today, a classmate posted a recording of a recent lecture on my university's Facebook page, so we could listen again and take notes at home. A few minutes in, I heard myself asking a question. I then heard snorting and some girl muttering "dumb cunt" under her breath. FML

that's what happens when you're all talk and no action. I liked the teachers that disciplined strictly more than the ones that would allow idiot classmates to do whatever they liked, personally.

"Not being able to ge the class to shutup" Do you realize how hard it is for sub's? In on eof my classes, we went though 7 teachers before one stayed. We were bad. And kids at my school never respected sub's.

My class got a teacher to cry once. We turned the video player off behind her back, and after she yelled at us. One of us started humming and when she got close to the person who was humming someone else would do it. Then the people at the front shut down her laptop. After 15 minutes of our behavious, she eventually ran out the classroom crying. :/ oopsies.

some kids in my class stapled the teachers bag to a table and then verbally abused her so she went to grab her bag and run out, pulling the table over with her. it was pretty bad but somewhat funny

You should bang a ruler on the troublemaker's desk really hard to scare them. I knew a teacher who did this and actually broke the ruler. It was funny.

Was his name Mr. Riley and did you go to high school with me? Because this happened in my science class because some people in my class pointed out that he spelled meteor and first wrong, and the teacher started crying and hitting things with a ruler and broke one on a desk.
