Can’t Duck Out Of This Lesson
(I teach freshmen and junior English classes. This happens at least twice a week.)
Me: *clapping hands to get class attention to begin lesson* “Okay, folks, first things first—”
Entire Class: *in chorus* “YOU’RE THE REALEST!”
Me: “…Guys, how many times have we had the karaoke bar versus classroom conversation?”
Student #1: “About as often as the classroom versus zoo conversation.”
Me: *rhetorically* “Why am I doing this again?”
Student #2: *quacks*
Me: “No, seriously, the credential says ‘TEACHER’ not ‘ZOOKEEPER’…”
Student #2: *quacks again and shrugs*
