Things my kids say...

My students are hilarious. When I first started teaching, I decided I needed to start documenting what these kids say to me and around me. In honor of the end of the school year and the fact that I'm almost done with my 4th year, here are some of those hilarious comments....

-During my first day ever as a teacher
1. Ms. Meza, you're only 23? Dang. You should be at the club!

2. During my current year, the subject of  "liking each other" came up with my 6th graders....
Me: Okay, stop with the liking...
Student: And start with the loving!

3. While correcting sentence structure:
Student: Ms. Meza, I feel bad for you.
    Me: Why?
    Student: Because we're stupid.

4. Student: Ms. Meza, are you and Ms. E roommates?
    Me: Yep, we are.
    Student: It's like a sleepover every night!'

5. Ms. Meza, you look like a high school freshman with your hoodie and your Sperry's.

6. Student: Ms. Meza, how does Lady Gaga like her meat?
   Me: How?
   Student: Raaw raaaw raaaw raaaw!

7. Student: So, do you and Ms. S. go clubbing?

8. Ms. Meza, we like your sunglasses. You look like a boss. Ooo, like a G6.

9. Ms. Meza, if I had one hour to live and could choose anywhere to be, I would choose to be at school because it feels like eternity.

10. Student: So, Ms. Meza, if I don't do well on my placement test, does this mean you won't recommend me for  high school Spanish?
Me: Yes
Student: Fine. I won't recommend you for the counseling position.


11. Student 1: Ms. Meza, my grandma started text messaging. isn't that weird?
Student 2: Really? Mine starting using KakaoTalk.
Student 3: What? Shouldn't they all be knitting?

12. Ms. Meza, two things. One, I'm tired and two, you look like you're 16.

13. I have Fridayitis today.

14. Student: Ms. Meza, are you texting your boyfriend?
Me: No, that would be very unprofessional. I'm checking my school email since you are using my computer and smartboard.
Student: Oh. Well, it's okay, I give you permission to text him during class.


15. Student: Ms. Meza, does 7th grade have a Grade Level Gathering today?
Me: I'm not sure about the 7th grade schedule but I can find out.
Student: Well aren't you and Ms. S. buddies
Me: Yep, we are BFFLs.
Student: That's weird.

16. Student: Ms. Meza, you can be scary.
Me: How so?
Student: With your sarcasm and your nose-ring.

17. You and your friend are like teenagers, with all the laughing and joking.



I love working with my teens! Here's to many more years of quotable moments.
