So many people have asked me how I could teach because it had to be one of the most boring job in the world. Nothing could be further from the truth. Students are a constant source of laughter. Here are just a few humor moments that happened to me.
A high functioning third grade student with autism asked me "Why did Benedict Arnold betray our country?" I asked, "Would you like for me to bring you some information on it?" "Yes, please." The following day I downloaded some information and printed it for the student. The next day she walked up to me and asked, "Who was Lizzie Borden?" I said, "You don't need to know about Lizzie Borden. Go play." There are only so many questions I am willing to answer.
When I was all of 38 years old, a six year old student was walking to her class, stopped in the hallway, looked up at me and said, "I hope I'm as pretty as you when I get old." I replied, "Well you were doing very well until those last three words."
I walked into my first grade class and a student immediately noticed my fresh haircut. "Did you get a haircut?" "Yes, I did." "Well it looks better." Wonder how bad it looked before.
I taught for a low economic district and we at times received less than premium equipment. This was the case with my stapler. The young children certainly couldn't work it, so I stapled all of the papers. One day as I was going desk to desk, stapling papers, a student was watching me push with all my might to make the stapler work. He said, "Wow, you're really putting some weight on that."
