Throwback

The last day of school always makes me reflect on previous last days.

Some years you end with a single student showing up to school.  He spent the entire day sleeping in the corner.

Other years have the school on lockdown.

This year has a roving band of girls with selfie sticks.

Dumb Questions

Student in the middle of a final: "Can I step outside and take this call?"

Wild Wild West.

I thought I saw a bug moving across my floor. It turned out to be a tumbleweave. 

Evaluatin' Like A Boss

Student: "Oh you know I'm a boss at math."

Oblivious

We are reviewing for our final and two of the guys in my first hour are working together.  The problem is both of them have their music turned up way too loud.  Every time they talk to each other they end up yelling.  "HEY, DUDE!  HOW DO YOU FACTOR THIS?"

The can't even hear the rest of us laughing.

Dat Frog

Sometime I get the most interesting pictures at the bottom of my tests.

Listen

Co-Teacher: "Should you be on your laptop?"

Student: "I already got it done..."

Co-Teacher: "You didn't answer my question."

Power Nap

After todays test, one of my students propped himself up in a corner and fell asleep.  A couple other students posed with him for a selfie.

Walking Meeting

As I am walking down the hall, one of my co-workers steps out of the break room and we start talking.  A student comes out another room and starts asking us about some math problems as we continue to walk.

Co-worker: "I think we just walked into an Aaron Sorkin show."

Mo' Money Mo' Problems

Student: "Why don't you teach summer school?"

Me: "I want to enjoy my summer."

Student: "But you work, then you can get more money."

Me: "True, but at some point you start to value time more than money.  What is the point of having all that money if you don't have any free time?"

Student: "Yeah, but if you have kids, you can work for them."

Me: "That is true, but I don't have any kids."

Student: "Sounds like you should have a kid."

Me: "Oh yeah, great idea.  I should be working more and spending more money.  Might as well have a kid to make up the difference."
