Throughout my short journey of teaching, I have realized why teachers really teacher the primary grades; especially the really little ones. It has nothing to do with pay obviously, and while it might have something to do with changing the life of a child, the real meat and potatoes has to do with the humor. Bill Cosby said it best with simply "kids say the darnest things." Since I won't be teaching for a bit of time, I wanted a place to record the great and hilarious sayings that I have had the pleasure of enjoying.
Me to student: Please stop talking.
Student: I am not bothering anyone.
Me: Yes, you are.
Student: No, I mean I am not talking to anybody. I am just talking to my self conscience.
Me: Tell your sub conscience to talk quieter.
Less than five minutes pass. Student is talking again. I shoot him a "zip it" look.
Student cocks head up and points to his head: Shh! You are getting me in trouble!
