What? You just said that? LOL

If you're a teacher, you know that students say the funniest things. A friend of mine encouraged me to keep a running list of these humorous moments. As the year winds down, I thought I'd share them with y'all.
Caution: Some of them may not be as humorous to the outside reader as context is everything. :)

*Miss Pettit, you always want to talk about math. (after I kept trying to get class to stop talking about movies)

*Excuse me Miss Pettit. I need to moonwalk.

*Miss Pettit, can I go get a pencil from my cereal box?

*Oh my gosh. I can’t concentrate when people talk about milk.

*Girls want real men...Men who eat beef jerky.

*Women.
(This was a class of a few girls and lots of boys.)

*Me: Are you okay?
Student: I can’t feel my arms. (after doing his pushups)

*I’m not gonna lie. My boxers are longer than your shorts.

*You know what that’s from? It’s from whipping our hair.(on why their neck and head hurt)

*I am right and you cannot argue with me. (end of student’s math paper)

*NASCAR is the lazy version of track.

*It makes me feel smart. (student talking about Sigma notation)
Student 2: It makes me feel like an alien.

Tunes, part tres

For my algebra class, the students had to create a song that covered a topic from the current school year. Here is the last example. Enjoy!

Graphing
Song: Friday

Seven a.m., going to math class
Gotta be smart, gotta go to school
Gotta know how to graph, gotta get a pencil
Graphin’ everything, the pencil’s always moving
Tickin' on and on, everybody's workin'
Gotta get y by itself
Gotta draw my lines, I see my answer, my answer

B is the y-intercept
M is the slope
Y is the answer
This is so easy

It's Graphing, Graphing
Gotta get down on graphing
y=mx+b, bbbbb
Graphing, Graphing
Gotta know graphin’
Y=mx+b, bbbb

Graphin' and, graphin' (Yeah)
Graphin' and, graphin' (Yeah)
Math, math, math, math
Lookin' forward to the solution

2:37, we're getting out of class
Knowin’ so much, I can do my homework
Math, Math, thinkin’ about math
You know what it is
I got this, you got this
My calculator is by my right
I got this, you got this
Now you know it

B is the y-intercept
M is the slope
Y is the answer
This is so easy

It's Graphing, graphing
Gotta get down on graphing
Y=mx+b, bbbb
Graphin, graphin
Getting down on graphing
Y=mx+b, bbbb

Tunes, part deux

For my algebra class, the students had to create a song that covered a topic from the current school year. Here is example two of three. Enjoy!


Exponent Rules
Song: Black and Yellow

CHORUS
Yea uh-huh you know what it is
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician
Every time I multiply, I add
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician

Yea uh-huh you know what it is
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician
Every time I divide, I subtract
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician

When you times, you gotta remember to add
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician

When you divide, always remember to subtract
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician

VERSES
Exponent rules, always crazy
Use all forms, don’t get lazy
Add when multiplying, subtract when dividing
If you don’t get it, keep trying

It’s not hard to be learnin’
Just get that brain juice burnin’
Remember what term goes with what
So you won’t be confused and stuck.

CHORUS
Yea uh-huh you know what it is
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician
Every time I multiply, I add
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician

Yea uh-huh you know what it is
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician
Every time I divide, I subtract
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician

When you times, you gotta remember to add
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician

When you divide, always remember to subtract
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician
