Okay, so I work in special ed, and I love it. Stressful yes, but overall a joy. I would never dream of picking on my kids, because, lets face it, a) it's cruel and b) most of them wouldn't get it if I did, but every once and a while they come up with some real gems of wisdom and I just had to share:
In spanish class:
Me: "how do you say dog"
Teen I work with: "dog"
Me:"um...no, dog in spanish"
Teen
looks confused then gets a "lightbulb" look and comes back with) "OH, dog in SPANISH"....
Or -
(regular ed kid in the same spanish class)
Teacher: Say "How are you doing today"
random student: "Um...in Spanish?"
Teacher: "No, Italian would be nice."
random student: "But...I don't know Italian..."
Teacher:"Obviously you don't understand english either..."
random student:" no...I think I understand, wait, what was the question again?!"
or- back in the life skills room
Teacher: What's today's date
student:- insert date here-
Teacher: Good, and today is day 3 (5 day rotation of classes)
student: NO, today is Friday, but that's okay, everyone makes mistakes...
TeacherTrying to not be insulted by student) No, today is cycle day 3.
studentagitated because he hates to be wrong) NO today is Friday...but we can say it's day 3 if it'll make you happy. . .
Or-
Student farts...really loud, and really smelly....
Teacher: Do you need to use the rest room
other student: No, I think he just likes to fart...
Okay, maybe not as humerous to ya'll but I was tickled. I love my kiddos
