Oh, high school.

I'm thinking of adding a new weekly post in addition to Thankful Thursday called "Oh, high school". Hopefully this will give you some insight to the ridiculous life of a high school teacher. 

Student 1: No Child Left Behind was, like, the worst idea in American history.
Student 2: Umm, what about Japanese internment camps?
Student 1: Well, yeah. And, like, the Holocaust.
Student 2: Dude, you know that wasn't in  America, right?

A student unknowingly wrote fart instead of order on his Spanish assignment.

Student: What's an answering machine? Like, I think I know, but I forget.
(Her peers explain it to her)
Student: Oh yeah, like for when people used to have house phones.

This girl left out the r in sweat-shirt on her French essay:

In my French class of 6 students:
Me: Does anyone need a laptop to work on their presentation today?
Student 1: No thanks, I brought my own.
Student 2: Nah, I can use my iPad.
Student 3: Yeah, me too.
Student 4: I think I'll just use my phone.
Student 5: Yep, me too.
Student 6: gets out book like he's from the Stone Age

During a one-on-one conversation after school, a student inadvertently said the F word while reading aloud to me in Spanish.

Oh, and one of my students is on AMERICAN IDOL ... nbd. The only reason she doesn't go to Vegas is because she didn't get proper approval through the district. What?!


Ahh, the sweet life of a high school teacher :)
