Less Than Six Hours

*On the last day of class everyone is scrambling to turn things in to all their teachers.  Three students in a row all ask me to go see other teachers*

Me: "Apparently everyone has some place they need to be, but none of those places are here."

*Student takes out headphones*

Student: "Hey Mr., could I go to the library to print something?

The Final Countdown

*student turns in the review packet*

Student: "I am so nervous, I didn't understand some of these problems."

Me: "It doesn't really matter.  You had an A, so you don't have to take the final."

Student: "Yeah, but won't I lose points if I get the questions in the packet wrong?"

Me: "Every student just took a final, I have over a thousand problems that I have to grade.  The review packet is just for completion."

Student: "Oh yeah!  High five to that!  What are we doing on Thursday?"

Me: "Make up work."

Student: "So if I have everything turned in...."

Me: "There won't be anything new."

Student: "Well, I will see you after break!"

Painful for Everyone

All of my students are going to be taking their final tomorrow, so I will have a total of 1445 problems to grade.  If I spend exactly 30 seconds grading each problem it will only take me 12 hours to grade all of them.

Spirit Animal

One of my students just walked into my first hour wearing a shirt that says, "Ok, but coffee first."  I think this needs to be my new motto.

Settling Down

Student: "Do you like being married to another teacher?"

Me: "Yeah, it's nice."

Student: "You don't want a doctor wife?"

Me: "I would love a sugar momma, but I don't think that's going to happen."

I Am Not Funny

Me: "If I am going too fast just let me know.  I don't want anyone to think that I am rushin'."

Class: "...."

Me: "Though I could be mistaken for Ukrainian."

Class: "..."

Me: "*Sigh*  If Ms. (Co-teacher) were here, she would laugh at my jokes."
