Kids say the darndest things, part II
From the same kid I wrote about last time:
"Wouldn't it be funny if you walked into a bank and said "say hello to my little friend" and then a midget stepped out from behind you and started waving?"
I didn't hear it, but the student teacher who was sitting in on my class heard him tell it to several different people. This kid cracks me up! He also gave me an entire dissertation about how Area 51 is a government coverup--it's actually the OTHER areas that host the aliens. He refused to listen to my logical argument that it's highly unlikely that aliens have visited the planet.
Also, can someone explain why some of my middle schoolers have an uncontrollable urge to sing in the classroom? This week it was the theme from "Gummy Bears," you know, the 80s cartoon.
I like my job a whole lot more than I did last year...I finally have enough lesson plans and enough classroom management experience that I can relax and enjoy some of the the crazy, nutty, funny antics of my kids. They do go too far on occasion, though, and that can be frustrating. But I am reminded often how much I love this age because they crack me up!

We're all really lucky that you are doing what you're doing--for three reasons:
1. It's important and you're good at it.
2. You like it.
3. That way, we don't have to.
;-)
Honestly, I feel that way about the jobs of just about everyone I know, even other teachers who don't teach science. :-)
shall we watch for this kid on comedy central some day? he sounds hilarious. could he pull off i.b.?
Another question:
These kids you have were born in the 90s. HOW do THEY know the theme to Gummy Bears well enough to sing it in class?
Not a clue how they know the Gummy Bears theme song. Is it on Cartoon Network or something??
Yeah, this kid might be on Comedy Central someday.
I wish my students were that spontaneous.
And yes, I do read your blog (even though it took me just shy of 4 months to notice your post on my blog). I stick my tongue out at you.
