Crazy school stuff, part 387

Just about the time you think you're going to tear your hair out at school, things like these happen:

What Did I Say???

Mr. Dietrich walked in with Andy M. and Brett while Patty and I were talking. Patty grabbed Andy for his midterm, then I grabbed Brett for his. Mr. D. walked in and started herding them toward the computers and Patty explained that we had shang-haied them.

Of course, I couldn't leave well enough alone. I wanted to say, "You have the misfortune of having two of our kids as your students." Instead I said, "You have the misfortune of having two of our kids as your sons."

Zach James nearly fell off his chair and I think Patty, the good Catholic innocent by-stander, was at least as embarrassed by the situation as I was.



What Did HE Say???

Rich told me about one of the middle school behavioral disorder students. Seems that he dropped his bun as he was going to set his tray down at lunch. His reaction? "Oh, f*#%!" Then he saw a teacher sitting next to him, well within hearing range. His reaction then? "Oh, d*$#!"

The teacher gave him credit for coming up from the cellar just a little bit, at least.
