Phones

Me: "Why do you have two phones?"

Student: "Cuz, I'm a boss."

Me: "My boss has two phones..."

Satisfaction

*three students walking down the hall talking quietly*

Student 1: "Well who is your teacher?"

*Student 2 points at me*

Student 3: "Mr. _______? He's cool."

Student 1 (to student 2): "Are you crazy?  All you have to do is ask and Mr. _______ will explain things to you."

Preparing for the Future

*Overheard at parent conferences*

Other Teacher: "__________ is a very interesting young lady.  A while back we had a project listing goals for our future, and _________ said that she either wanted to work with children who have special needs or marry into a drug cartel.  Now I can really only support one of these two decisions..."

Infalable Logic

Student 1: "Hmmmmmm....  Hmmmmmmmm..."

Student 2: "Who is making that noise?  Is that you?"

Student 1: "No that's you!"

Snow Conferences

I like to think that everyone is out sledding.

*Note: Parents and students are squares and triangles respectively*

Testing Advantage

One of my students wears a hearing aid, and when we are testing she takes it out.  I doubt that she can hear the rustling of papers.

Everybody Dance!

Black student to hispanic student: "I'm not trying to be racist, but do you know how to salsa?"

Hispanic student to black student: "Do you know how to twerk?"

This was probably the funniest introduction into a good discussion on racism I have experienced in class.
