Classroom Diaries: Intellectual Capacity

 Conversation with a fourth grade student...

Student: Teacher, I don't think my math teacher fully understands the vastness of my intellect...

TN: (laughs in my head ...what a very typical comment from this boy) Why do you say so?

Student: She doesn't know that I can already do difficult maths like square roots and ...(yada yada... to be honest, I didn't understand what in the world were the other things he mentioned)

TN: Okaaaay...I think you should tell her that you know how to do those things so you won't have to answer the easy ones.

Student: But I already told her and she wouldn't believe me.

TN: Well you should probably show her instead of you just telling her. (hehehe)

Student: (flashes me a smile that spells mischief) Thanks teacher, you always give me the best ideas...

(student gets out of the room in a hurry)

TN: (shouting) Uhm, don't do anything silly okay!

Classroom Diaries: Where's Nikolai?

Teacher Nina: Where's Nikolai?

Student: He didn't come to school today teacher.

TN: Does anybody know what happened to him? He's been absent since Monday...

Student: maybe he's sick...

During breaktime, TN checks her FB page and while scanning through the news feed, lo and behold, "Nikolai did some damage to a Dog in Wild Ones!" 

Found him.

Classroom Wars: Teacher Nina vs Shane

A boy makes unnecessary noise in class while everyone else writes quietly...

girl: Will you please stop talking Shane! Shush! (ridiculously annoyed)

boy: Why, do you own the classroom now? 

girl: (looking more vexed)

TN: (talks to the girl) don't show him that you are annoyed, otherwise, he wins...

girl: Okay...(continues writing)

boy: (still makes annoying noise)

TN: (boiling with utter vexation) SHANE! WILL YOU PLEASE STOP TALKING? IT'S SO ANNOYING!

(dead air)

S: oh, oh, OH! Teacher! YOU LOSE, I WIN! (evil laugh)

TN: (awww...man) FOR NOW...but the war isn't over! (sly smile)

Oh well, tomorrow's a new battle...nonetheless, I love being with my students! haha ;)
