We often say all sorts of amusing, even somewhat profound things in class. I found this note in one of my old sketchbooks from a sketching and watercolor class I taught at WBWS years ago. #capecod #artclass #watercolor #thingsstudentssay https://www.instagram.com/p/Cic9c5UuXEA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Student quotes
A second teacher walked into the classroom and a student asked what she was doing. She responded, "just hanging out.". The student said, "you apparently don't know what it means to 'hang out'." #students #teaching #teachinglife #thingsstudentssay

Health Science Class
Student: Do you think I will be a good OB/GYN?
Me: Yeah I really do. You will have to work hard, but I think you will be able to do it.
Student: Would you let me be your OB/GYN?
Me: Uhhhh... No. That would be weird.

Mush and the 8th Grade
The 8th grade English class is reading Much Ado about Nothing, and getting to read dramatically and act it out.
We reached the final scene, which goes,
Benedick: Peace, I will stop your mouth! (Kisses Beatrice.)
And the boy playing Benedick reads: “Peace, I will … (reads the stage directions) … EWWWW!” He hurls the book across the room and begins to flail like a octopus, wailing, “I can never UNread that!!!!”
The rest of the class stared at him in consternation until one girl snarked, “Yeah, ‘cause no one’s ever done that before.”

Word Choice
I have been having a fight with the 7th grade boys over the (non)word, “bawesome” (“boss” and “awesome”). They write, “Achilles is bawesome”, and I cross it out because it is not a real word found in a credible work of literature. Also, is sounds silly.
During a reading day, the girl reading “Anne of Green Gables” raises a hand and says shyly, “Um, I think this says bawesome!”
*collective gasp*
Boy 1: Miss!!
Boy 2: We were right!
Boy 3: We need to read that book!
I calmed the hubbub and asked for the spelling and context.
Girl: B-O-S-O-M. Anne and Diana are bawesome friends.

Entertaining Student-Teaching Moments
Today my resident teacher asked the kids to "Draw an inference" about the text they were reading and she explained what an inference was, but I guess the kids weren't listening because one of the students asked "So...how do I draw an inference and...where do you want me to draw it? Do you want it in our journals or...a separate sheet of paper". The kid also asked if it had to be in color or if it could be in pen/pencil. The kid took it literally. Is it bad that it was a major face palm moment for me. Tried so hard not to laugh.

It was my first day at the middle school today.
(after the students have asked me a barrage of questions)
"B-chan! What is your hobby?"
"My hobby is...manga. I love manga."
"Oh, me too! What manga?"
"I like...Kuroko no Basuke."
"Oh, I know that! What else?"
"...just Kuroko no Basuke."
