For example: I had this student come in to class the other day because she was upset (she is 8 years old and I teach at an urban school). I asked her why she was so upset. She told me: "Mrs. Kat", I have had a hell of a morning and I would like to go to the back of the room to have my personal space." I, of course was not angry I guess because I was taken completely off guard. I had to turn around and laugh.... Please, teachers. Share!!

A teacher in my department once was in the hallway speaking with a student about her tardiness. The teacher told the student she was habitually tardy and the student responded by saying "did you just call me a *****?"

The teacher in the room next to mine had been teaching history, particulary Lewis and Clark's expeditions. After a few minutes, a student raised her hand and asked if that was where Superman came from. At first, she just thought that it was her goofy high school students. Then she said that the girl was looking confused. She kept teaching and about five minutes later she figured out that the girl was thinking Lois and Clark and busted out laughing. She didn't say anything in class, but it was a great lunch hour!!

Well, I will always remember the little girl who told me her daddy wears underwear to sleep in, but mommy doesn't wear anything. Every time I saw Mom I thought of this!! Also, a little boy just told me yesterday that it looked like I hadn't brushed my hair!! Kids are fun. I teach real little ones--ages 3-4 1/2!! But the funniest of all had to be when a little boy about 4 years ago told me that my hair looked like a sheep!! It was a little longer than normal and did need cutting and was a little frizzy that day!! I had to laugh and agreed with him!!

When I was teaching a literature lesson one day, I somehow mentioned Freud in passing. A student said, "Who's that?" I said, "You don't know who Sigmond Freud was?"
Another student started laughing at him and said, "You know, the ones with the tigers and them sparkly clothes and stuff. They do shows in Vegas."
Another student, for an assignment in which he was to give the general plot of a book chapter, wrote about a martial arts book he was reading: "Then the one kung fu guy just up and kicked the other one right in the GROWING area."

For 12th grade English, I was teaching my students about the 9 Shakespearean Elements for a unit on Macbeth. These elements were the biggest part of my unit and I was reviewing them constantly.
At the beginning of the unit, I gave them a handout of the elements with a definition for each. Near the end of the unit before the test, one of my students said to me, "Hey, do you got one of them 10 Commandments sheets"?

In my first grade classroom the children are still very open and innocent. One day I was explaining to them that my car was old and that I was afraid it would break down on the freeway. A little girl piped up that she'd tell her dad to get me a new car, but that she'd have to wait to ask him until she visited him in jail the following weekend. Turns out he was in prison for auto theft!

When asked to discuss her spatial abilities, one college student responded that she didn't think she would need to know astronomy for her major, but would be willing to take an extra course if it helps. LOL

I once taught a group of 6 & 7 year olds.
We took a field trip to the Los Angeles Co. fair, where we saw some milk cows.
One of the children asked me what those things were hanging from under the cows, and I explained that those were her milk bags.
Next we saw the prize bulls, and one student looked and said out loud: "Look at that cow's milk bags!"
