What’s the Funniest Thing You Unfortunately Had To Punish a Student For?


As a former middle grades teacher, my students were funny and clever. Usually on my lowest days, they never failed to bring a smile to my face. However, amid the joy in my eighth grade math classroom, there were moments when my students said things that caught me off guard and forced me to stifle my laughter, albeit reluctantly.

These Reddit teachers share the same sentiments in this well-loved thread.

Maybe some of the things these students said will make you giggle, too?

Oh, crap!

I’m sure this teacher was thankful for how this instance turned out!

“Into every life …”

At least they were listening? Classroom community and all that?

Yeah, I probably wouldn’t have told my eighth graders Santa was watching either.

It is what it is

I mean, we’ve all had those lessons, and this is my third shared experience. Has anyone else had a kid in the middle of the lesson emphatically say, “This is boring”? And not in a disrespectful way either, just straight up!
