S*!t My Students Say

This will be a running list of  the goofy things said in my class:

-  Today I had a junior come up to my desk and ask me for a "moist pamphlet" because his hands were dirty from Chemistry. When I clarified that he wanted a "moist towelette", he asked "is there a difference?"

-(Two girls studying in my desk during my plan, Pandora is on "The Beatles" channel.)
#1: "Oh my God I love this song (starts to sing) " little men die".
#2: It's "Live and Let Die Kate"


-Today's journal prompt for my freshmen: If you could study abroad in any country in the world where would you study and how would the experience give you an edge over others in your same future field of employment?
-5 answers were copied and pasted right off the internet (I knew they couldn't spell or speak that well)
-One student answered "Nowhere. America is the best country in the world. There is nothing I need to learn that America can't teach me."
-Another student said they would study in Florida. Wasn't aware it was a different country.
-And yet another said they would study in Europe. I had to inform this child that Europe is a continent not a country.
 

-(One freshman girl to another ):
#1:  OMG, are you wearing that for our presentation today?
#2:  Um, we are not PREE-SEN-TATING today.  (yikes)
