Thing I've Heard and Seen at School

Student: "My orthodonist is so out to get me."


Me: "What is a quarter horse?"

Student A: "A horse that costs a quarter?"

Student B: "One of those horses that you put a quarter in and ride?"

My Inner Voice: "I didn't sign up for this."


A one-inch binder with ENGLESH across the front in fat red letters.


Student: "Mr. Wymer, your assigned seats are so confusing."

Me: A scrunched up face.

My Inner Voice: "What the hell is this kid talking about?"


Me: "You're five minutes late. Where were you?'

Student: "My locker was jammed."

Student Sitting Far Away: "You said that last week."

Me, while looking at Student Sitting Far Away: "You get extra credit."


Running: Nil.

Writing: Off to work on revisions. Getting closer.

  1. OK. I love these student remarks. You MUST keep a notebook of them to share with us...they're hilarious! And the kid who said, "You said that last week" needs an A+.

  5. I bet that kid's right about the orthodontist.

    She should brace for the worst.

    (I'll be here all week.)
