what was the funniest moment you've ever had at school? whether you're a teacher or pupil...?

Answer 1

Teaching Y6, discussing plot and nuance of language. Romeo and Juliet. Asked the class 'Why did she swear never to love another man?' One boy who rarely answered voluntarily shot up his hand. I should have known better... his reply? 'Was it because she was a lesbian Miss?' To which a lovely child with ADHD turned about and said' Why is it always about the sex with you, it's cos she was going to be a nun you tw*t! Couldn't have said it better myself!!

Answer 2

I have had many treasured moments in my life as a teacher. This is one of them. A policeman entered the school to question one of my pupils, concerning an incident. The boy was giving an eye-witness account of the incident. I was looking, worried, as I feared for the safety of the child ; i.e fearing that he will be harmed by those he was informing against. Another teacher looking on, smiled, as the young boy, calmly told the policeman all that he knew. The other teacher was so impressed, he jokingly said to the policeman : " Did you inform him of his rights?" The policeman , also laughed, then said : " No, man, the boy did not do anything,he is being very helpful in identifying the culprits."

Answer 3

While teaching nursery school:
1. I had a child bring his mom's tampons for show and tell. I had to talk him out of sharing them and when I gave them to his mom at the end of the day she was so embarrassed!

2. I had a child bring a wine cooler in his lunchbox, thinking that it was juice. His mom was quite embarrassed as well.


As a substitute elementary school teacher:
1. I was giving a botany lesson on the parts of a flower to a sixth grade class and I was explaining what a "sepal" was when a little girl raised her hand and said "I don't see any semen."

2. I was teaching fourth grade and mistakenly asked the class who had "duties" at the end of the day and they all fell on the floor laughing because they thought I said "doodies."

Answer 4

We had a male teacher at our high school who was only about 5' tall.
In the sixth form, some boys (must have been several of them) managed to move his car - it was a little Fiat, something like a cinquecento - out of its parking space and they replaced it with a toy car.
I never did find out how the teacher reacted to this, but all of us pupils thought it was hilarious!

Answer 5

Oh my God I had so many! There was one... I was teaching Kindergarten and this little boy I'll never forget said to me that his mom made me lunch and handed me a paper bag. I opened it and there was a cute little sandwich shaped like a star, a tiny juice pack among a lot of other little things, everything was packed so neat! I asked him if he was certain that this lunch was for me and he affirmed positively that it was meant for me. The morning routine went normal as usual and when it was time to go to the cafeteria the little boy said: "Miss B I cant find my lunch," I kind of laugh, and asked him to look again, I also asked the class if anyone had seen his lunch bag. His lunch bag had dissapeared! My response to him was: Well I guess I have an extra lunch and I'll be very happy to share with you." He was very happy. And that was a real mistery, I never had a chance to share it with his mom. I guess what I enjoyed most was his innocense and kindness.

Answer 6

One of the schools, my brother went to had rather old science rooms, and he got a surprise when he turned the water tap on and the "inverted-J" top fell off, leaving a jet of water going straight up to soak the ceiling.

Another good one was when, the teacher was testing the lung capacity of my science class by blowing into a wall-mounted plastic tube partly filled with water. Most of my class had the same lung capacity, generally less than that of the teacher.
However when I did it, I ended up blowing all the water out of the tube, much to the teacher's surprise. My comment to the teacher was "You did ask me to blow as hard as I could, didn't you sir?"

Answer 7

We were sat in a staff meeting and heard crying from one of the classrooms in Key stage 1. A colleague went to investigate and found a child wearing his coat. He had put his coat on before taking it off the peg and was now stuck. He'd been there about ten minutes.

Answer 8

I had this history teacher when I was 15 that looked just like Paul McCartney. He was always calling us names and being abusive to us. Telling us how stupid we were. One day some of the boys took all the trash out of the trash cans and propped it up on the door so when he opened it it fell all over him. It was pretty funny. I still laugh when I think about it.

Answer 9

Was teaching a topic on waterfalls and the previous lesson they were given the homework of designing a leaflet encouraging people to visit Niagara Falls. The students were very keen to show me their work so whilst calling the register I asked them to come out and show me and the rest of the class their leaflet. All was going well til one boy came up and read his out - " Come to Viagara falls -great time had by all!!!" Well I was hysterical for about 5 mins and had to leave the room to compose myself. When I went back in one boy asked me why it was so funny. I tried to explain that it was just a silly spelling mistake - he then went on to say - but I hear my mum talking to my dad about Viagara all the time... How I kept it together I will never know....
