January 15, 2013

After a second grade class was reprimanded for talking too much...
Girl: I kept telling the American kids to be quiet!
Me: It's always the Americans, isn't it? Always with the talking.
Girl: I know!

After passing out a paper to fifth graders...
Boy: Are these for us to keep?
Me: Yes.
Boy: No, I mean like to keep.
Me: So, yes, I meant keep in the traditional and only definition of the word keep.

Third Grade Comparison: Spanish v. Guidance...
Me: I'm only here for 30 minutes today, then you have guidance.
Response from a number of students:
  • Noooo!
  • We hate guidance!
  • We like Spanish better!
  • Guidance is boring!
  • Don't tell her [the guidance counselor] we said that!
