Let’s face it, kids say some weird things, and that trend doesn’t stop when they get to high school. I know that I, as a student, have heard some pretty…interesting things from my peers.
For example, I once heard a student explain to their friend that they didn’t want to transfer schools for fear of that school “turning them gay since everyone that goes there is gay.”
So, it makes me wonder, what is the weirdest thing a teacher has ever heard a student say? Students often overlook or simply don’t care that most of the time, teachers hear everything they say in class. Thus, I was sure they'd heard some wild things, and after interviewing the teachers of Harding, I found that I was completely right.
Mr. Kash said that, “Just today I was told that if I were a dog, I would be a poodle. I hadn't heard that one before.”
One teacher, Mr. Oroszi, or simply Mr. O., had a library assistant ask if she could “crawl into the return box” of the library because “she’s never been in one.”
Principal Musbach has also had strange questions asked of her, with one boy asking if he could have a new Chromebook because “my cat, Mittens, stole mine.”
However, it seems that not only are the questions asked of teachers and staff strange, but the answers they receive are just as weird.
Mr. Miller, a teacher in the art department explained that after giving instructions about an art project and asking if there were any questions, a then kindergarten boy raised his hand and announced that his sister had pooped in the bathtub. Not an answer, but okay, Timmy. Get it together.
Ms. Curnutte, a first-year Spanish teacher, has already heard some bizarre things from her students, saying that “a girl told me that she was looking for her cat...and found that it (had) drowned in a bucket of water in her basement.”
One of the weirdest answers comes from a student of Mr. Foreman’s, stating that he “once had a student admit in class that he liked to play with his belly button because it made his right arm feel funny.” No comment.
Although, the absolute weirdest thing comes again from Mr. Miller because one time, a kid said, "Hey, I like this class. You are a good teacher.” That’s not only weird but just outright untrue.
P.S. I was joking Mr. Miller. Please don’t fail me.
