Random things overheard in school

[lalalei2001]

Overheard in science class today:


(on the moon)

'A moon's a star, right?'

'NO, you idiot! It's a planet!'


(on the sun)

'I thought it was a planet or something.'


'Who would do such stupid things?'

'YOU!'


'I'm as smart as poop!'


And my favorite....

So this girl and me were arguing about something, and a kid whispered the following to me, not noticing that the teacher was right next to him.

'Don't listen to her, girl. She's a *****!'

Everyone:.....

And everyone, the teacher included, just busted up laughing. Our teacher literally buried her face in her hands she was laughing so hard. You can't make this stuff up, folks.

Shouldn't this be in the 'Signs That Society Is Doomed' thread?

In Scotland, we have a subject called "Modern Studies". I'm not sure if you have anything similar in the US, but it's sort of like politics, sociology and economics rolled into one. It's offered at "Higher" and "Advanced Higher" level. I took it in 6th Year at "Advanced Higher" because I am a brainbox.

Anyway, in said class, we were having a discussion about the role of religious clothing in educational settings. It was a fairly small class, so we were able to have fairly involved debates. One girl didn't really contribute much to this particular debate. That is, untill she blurted out "Does Ramadan have Gods?" To which I replied "Ramadan is a time of year."

I just found it amusing that this class -supposedly filled with Cumnock's brightest 17 year olds- was the forum for such a hilarious comment.

Overheard in my history class today:

'Gandhi was MEAN!'

Later on, after doing more research, they changed it to:

'Gandhi was a dictator, but like a GOOD dictator.'

Even later on, someone who obviously wasn't paying attention wrote the following on a test:

'Gandhi built death camps.'


And the most insane thing happened in science class today! We had some free time at the end, and this kid named Charles told everyone he was going to rap for them. As in sing a rap song.

So he took out two pencils and started banging them on a desk. (Pencil-banging has become very popular at my school.)

Then Charles...uhm...I don't know what he did, but it was NOT rap. He sounded more like an African tribal dance thingy. Here's what he said.

'AAaaaaAAAAaAaAAAaaaaHHHhHHHhHHhhhH!'

It was crazy.

'Gandhi built death camps.'
That would be a great name for a punk band.

This wasn't that funny until I saw that the teacher was a "she." And boy, did I LOL indeed at that point. :)

'Gandhi built death camps.'


Actually, that's not too far from the truth. In 1948, he signed a deal with the South African Nixon Administration allowing him use of their brainwashing camps. Supposedly this was done in order to stave off an invasion from the Timurids, who had elected a facist Emperror 2 years earlier.

It's whitewashed in today's history textbooks for some reason though. A sort of "to the victors go the spoils" deal.

Back when I was in high school:

Girl 1 to Girl 2: If you drink Sprite after giving a guy a blowjob, you won't get pregnant!

The other variation I heard replace blowjob with Intercourse.

This is what happens when you let religious fanatics control the sex-ed curriculum at your local highschool. You get ignorance. You get stupid people making stupid babies, raising stupid families. Well done, America. Well done.

I don't think that was the exact reason she was saying that. I just think there are some dumb kids out there.

And it certainly made me lol that day :D

You took it to AH level?

Swot. :p :D

Yeah, I'm intense.

I studied so hard for my Law School exams last year that I actually had a seizure. True story.

[Rabid Trekkie]

One of my favorites was when I was in junior high at the school at my church. We had just got this new student and everyone was ready for Bible class. So my Dad (he was the teacher) gets up and starts lecturing about the Christmas story. He's giving the class some background on the Roman Empire and says "And the Roman Empire had the best army on the planet."
This genius raises his hand and when recognized says, "I don't think they are so great, I mean the US could go right over there and kick their ass right now!" He then proceeded to argue with my Dad as he tried to explain the amount of time between the Roman Empire and modern day America.

I hope you goot a lol out of that post though, 99% of stuff I say like that is supposed to be taken with a grain of salt

:eek: A seizure!?!?!?

Damn. *boggles*

[J Dog]

Ah. It's really a problem here at our underfunded, dropout-heavy public schools. Whenever we talk about the Trojans, someone blurts out "For Her Pleasure!".

And don't even ask about dissecting a pig here. You all probably remember the thread in which I talk about my group tearing about a fetal pig for nothing. That's why we use computers now to look at a dissected pig. And next year, since Tech's going to become a New Tech High School, EVERYTHING is going to involve computers. That'll probably weed out those who think the moon is a star, right?

[BlairH]

Damn. *boggles*

Aye.

I spent most nights reading and so on. I never really got any real sleep. It just sort-of caught up with me.

[lalalei2001]

Were you okay?

[BlairH]

Were you okay?

Yeah, I had an EEG and a CT scan done. Everything was ok. Everything's been ruled out from tumours to epilepsy. It's clear that it was just my 24/7 lifestyle. There's still a lot of doubt over whether or not I'll be allowed to keep my firearms because of it though.

Overheard in science class:

'The battery died.'

'We should hold a...what's that thing again? Oh yeah, a funeral!'

[JerrBear81]

I got a good lol :D

I was in the bathroom today at school and almost doubled over laughing at some graffiti.

Someone had drawn a backwards swastika (actually a Hindu symbol for good luck), and written underneath it was the following:

'Is that a windmill of some kind?"

This is from my 5th grade Social Studies Class

Teacher: "Can anyone tell me who Adolf Hitler was"

Student: "Wasn't he jewish"

From my College History Class

Teacher: "What got the United States involved in World War II"

Student: "The battle of Little Big Horn" I kid you not a girl said this in my class.

You're only in fifth grade? I thought you were older than that.

I'm a junior in college. Just see the second thing I wrote.

When I was in 5th grade, there was a student, for anonymity's sake, let's just say he posts under a screen name with initials c & c:

Teacher: What caused the great depression
Student: (Vaguely recalling the cause he'd heard) The stock market exploded!

Maybe you're a very smart 5th grader taking an advanced history class.

[blackdragon6]

i was in the 5th grade and i was taking a sex education class,the girls and boys went in separate groups.once the guys got back from the class there was this eerie silence.....then this fruity kid named wayne said man y'all girls are NASTY!!


LMAO!!!!

[Kevin M.]

I am never going to hear the end of this, ani't I.

[lalalei2001]

In science class today, the most awesome thing happened!

Some kid came in who didn't belong in our class. Naturally, our teacher, Mrs Wolanski, was annoyed.

Mrs Wolanski: Do you belong here?

Kid:...No.

Mrs Wolanski: Where DO you belong?

Kid.....

Mrs Wolanski: Come here!

And the kid went SHOOOM! out the door and down that hallway at like 50 miles an hour! He was terrified!

[Shades0077]

This didn't happen in class, but it did happen while I was in high school.

My friends and I were watching Fellowship of the Ring, and it got to the scene at the end where Boromir gets shot to hell with a bunch of Uruk-hai arrows. The following exchange happened between two kids sitting behind us.

Kid 1: Whoa, those are huge arrows!

Kid 2: Well, they're obviously not real arrows.

Kid 2 delivered his line with such conviction, my friend and I both burst out laughing at what is actually a pretty touching scene. Got a few scowls from the people around us for that.
