I assigned a class of 8 and 9 year olds a small writing assignment. The topic was "Rainbow". What blew my mind was when I got the assignments back several of the students (6 or  had written that "sodomy" was a color of the rainbow! I was absolutely shocked (though I maintained my composure)... When I asked them what color they meant by that word, they said blue or violet. My only guess is that their electronic dictionaries gave them that translation. I still laugh about it to this day!  |

Yep. A deliberate display of humour is so far beyond most students' capability that it earns exactly that.

I don't take myself or my course seriously enough to force kids to be there when they really don't want to be. Besides, I thought to myself: when I was 19, did I want to sit in a room full of peers while suffering from smegma? Did I want smegma at all?
Kermo, I suspect your kids' sense of haha is richly complemented by your own. Good on ye. |

So you're saying a BOY had smegma? I'm pretty sure that's impossible, isn't it? |

As with most legends, it had been distorted a bit by the time it got to me, but I did track down the original photo. So the teacher is Greg, and he always brings a can of COKE to class. (I hope this doesn't get deleted.)

I teach adults and have a mother and daughter who attend together (daughter is about 20 years old)
Me: (noticing daughter is not in class) Where is your daughter?
Mom: She have to go to bathroom. She has a big pee-pee. |

I gave a test to one of my kiddy classes. De-scramble the sentences:
(Hi! How are you? I'm fine.)
One kid came back with:
How! I'm Hi. are you fine?
Very Native American. I told the kid to quit bogarting.  |

Students had to come up with a dialogue about a picture Of a woman in a supermarket who didn't have enough money to paye for her groceries. In the picture there are people behind her waiting.
Anyway part of the dialogue somebody came up with was
Cashier. " If you don't paye you will break the line"
I gave her points for originality, but it was the best she could come up with for " Please paye because everybody behind is getting impatient" |
