From the mouths of 7th Graders...

-Why do I need math and science if I am going to be an Air Force pilot? After I explained to him the answer he then asked why he needed geography then.

-During a discussion about how your heart is about the size of your fist a student asks well what if someone gets plastic surgery to make their hands bigger...then what?

-In bold on the reading guide: pages 20-23, student raises hand for help, I go over, student "I can't find any of the answers", I look down at the book... he is on page 90

7th graders make me laugh. Stay tuned, I am sure there is more to come.

I LOVE IT! Sorry I didn't get your google chat message until a few hours later- yes we had a bomb scare- and yes I was glad! (For both the break and that it was not real.) I would love teaching Middle School! The only funny thing is that even though I have high school kids, they still sound like your 7th graders! :)

This is so funny. I think you are a brave woman to teach 7th graders. I dont think I could do it... I can't wait to hear more funy little stories about your students.
