(I’m in an advanced Algebra 1 class in 8th grade, and while the class is smart, they’re also pretty immature and goofy. To try and keep things under control, the teacher (who’s a cool guy) has started a system where a first warning is your name on the board, one check next to your name is a second warning, and a second check is a detention. One particular day… )
Student 1 *after an increasingly off-topic attempt at derailing class*: “Well, can I be Hulk then?”
Teacher *smiling benevolently*: “Sure.” *writes ‘Hulk’ on the board*
(A while later, another student named Will gets into trouble.)
Teacher: *writes ‘Will’ on the board under ‘Hulk’*
(A couple minutes later, Student #3 does something particularly dumb and attracts the notice of the teacher.)
Student #3: “Sorry, I was being a bonehead, huh?”
Teacher: “Yup.” *writes ‘Bone’ on the board under ‘Will’*
(Student #4 then gets written up as ‘Dork’, much to his own amusement.)
*Teacher writes ‘Dork’ on the board under ‘Bone’*
(By this point the class is snickering because if you read out all four names, it reads ‘Hulk Will Bone Dork’.)
Teacher: “Why are you guys laughing?”
(Nobody explains, so he turns around and looks at the board, then realization hits…)
Teacher: *Erases all the names silently*
