Here are a few of the humorous things that have been said in my classroom over the past several weeks.
After a presentation on Ida B. Wells (who attended Fisk University).
Student A: "She attended Frisky University?"
About an upcoming history quiz
Student B (who coincidentally is African American): "What is on the quiz, Mrs. Freeman?"
Me: "The quiz covers the Gilded Age reformers we have gone over in class like Jane Addams, Susan B. Anthony, Booker T. Washington, and W. E. B. DuBois."
Student B: "Oh, it's about black people. I'll be fine."
In Class
Me (to student): "Did you write down these notes?"
Student C: "No."
Me: "Then why don't you get started and copy them down into your spiral?"
Student C: "Psych. I wrote them down already."
Me: Raising the white flag in my head
my color studios are open for business.
