Educational moments?!?

Here are two elementary school stories for you...

One of the 1st grade classes was going over their spelling list earlier this month.  One of the words was 'THREE'.  The teacher said, "On the count of three, say three.  One, two, three...";

"THREE!" shout the kids.

The teacher tells them she will use it in a sentence.  The spelling sentences are scripted out of the manual, just so you know...

She reads, "A man can't have THREE wives."

Who is the idiot who wrote that sentence for first graders, anyway?!  She admits she hadn't pre-screened and repented reading it as soon as it was out of her mouth.

A little girl in the class raises her hand and says...

"I know.  My Daddy had Mommy and a girlfriend, and my Mommy was really mad!  And that was only TWO!"

!!!

A first grader!  No lie.

I am just glad the school boundary shifts moved all the polygamist families out of our boundaries a couple of years ago!  I can only imagine the comments from the kids then! 

Polygamists, you say?  Yeah.  There is another story for you.  Remind me to tell it some other time.


Here is another story that is not as funny.

A second grader named Cameron got in trouble for who knows what yesterday, so his teacher sent a note home to his mom... in the care of the little miscreant.  Uh-huh.

This afternoon at lunch his teacher was furious because she had thought that he was 'absent' this morning, but then found out...

Actually, his mom had dropped him off this a.m. (never having gotten the note).  He decided it would be best to just lay low for the day.  He never went in.  No one realized he'd gone AWOL because he was just marked 'absent'.  Another parent found him wandering around outside (exactly where I never found out) and brought him in FOUR HOURS after he had been dropped off by his mom!

A second grader!

Oi!
