Students say the darnest things


For those who are still in the dark (short antenas) i'm currently a practical trainee teacher at Convent Pulau Tikus Secondary sch..no our sch is not infested with rats or any types of rodents. its just a name..
its only been 1 month plus so far but i feel like i've taught for years. the horribleness of waking up in the morning and getting bombarded with so much paper work and "charity" work is OVERwhelming.. anyways its the small things that make my day..


My students are not a very bright bunch i guess cause they say the funniest bloopers that make u wanna run into a cow and get knocked down again and again..


RECAP: among the dumb things they have said and many more i cant remember:
" Teacher, a person's cervix (part nearer to vagina) is in the BRAIN!"
"Teacher u must be an Indian cause u wear Indian baju and got Indian name" 
"teacher, how come ur face is so cute i cant pay attention"
"babies grow in our stomach (same as food)"
" a person who cooks is a cooker (suppose to be chef ok)



Then yesterday a brilliant one said these magical words:

 Student: Teacher ah..grammar exercises are so boring lah

 Me: I know. but grammar is the foundation of English..

 Student: what is foundation?

 Me: its like ur base, imagine ur legs..if ur legs are made of jelly do u think u can stand?

 Student: Oh, i dont need good foundation teacher, i'm pretty so when i'm big, i'm going to marry a rich man and never need to worry about anything.

 Me: Yea rite..i used to think like that as well..look where i am now? 

 student: err...
