Throwback Thursday

I haven't done a throwback in a while, but this happened my first year of teaching.

Me: "Why are you copying that assignment?  It isn't going to help you on the test, and it isn't worth enough points to change your overall grade."

Student: "Man, you always tryin' to keep me down!"

Principal: "You need to call yourself a ride _________."

Student: "Man, I got my own ride!"

*Student walks out of school, gets in a car, and drives away.  Student is 15, and barely tall enough to see over the steering wheel.*

Car insurance

Student: "I'm 'bout to turn sixteen.  I can't wait to drive."

Me: "Well you need to make sure you have a drivers license and insurance before you start driving."

Student: "Whatever I have been having insurance since I was a little kid."

Me: "Car insurance?"

Student: "....Uhhh.  Yeah.  Back in the day I got my big-wheel insured. "

Prius

Giant football player: "I'm 16 I can drive now."

Student 2: "What do you drive?"

GFP: "A prius."

Student 2: "How do you even fit in there?"
