Overheard this during Grade 1 online class.
Teacher: So we will be discussing 'roles and responsibilities' of family members today.
Then, asks kids about how each family member helps out.
After a few students, she asks another who answers, "I don't know"
Teacher: How can you not know... there's cleaning of the house and so many other things to be done...can you share something about your family?
Little kid (in a bored tone): I don't know. We clean the house when guests come. But I don't know why do we clean it when guests come.
Teacher: No baby, you always clean your house, right?
Little kid (still bored): No we don't. We clean it only when guests come. And I don't know why do we have to clean it when they come.
Teacher, unable to control herself bursts into laughter...and so do I. While all other little kids have no idea why.
I dread to think what these innocent little mouths say when their parents are not around!!!
Teacher teaching Grade 1 about the basic land forms. Shows them an interesting video about the Himalayas and then opens up the time for discussion.
Teacher: So tell me children, what are the different land forms you see in the video.
Student 'S': Miss, I can see Mount Everest from my garden.
Teacher: Sorry 'S,' what was that?
Student 'S': I can see Mount Everest from my garden. It's got the white clouds on top of it.
Teacher: I don't think so 'S'
I think what you can see is Nandi Hills!!!

Teacher (logging in a full five minutes late): sorry for joining in late kids, I've been having internet issues...
Kid R (interrupting): Aaagggaaain???
Teacher (shocked voice): I'm sorry???
Kid R (matter of fact-ly): You said the same thing yesterday...
Both teacher and me, stumped!!! 🤦🤦♀️

Kid (impatiently): Miss Miss, can I ask you something? It's a joke.
Miss A.(just starting class): Sure, go ahead.
Kid: What do clouds wear? ☁️
Miss A.(a little confused): What do clouds wear? I don't know...
Kid (all excited): Thunderpants!!!
(All giggle and laugh, including Miss A.)
Kid: Miss, Miss, Can I tell you one more joke?
Miss A. (all sporty): Sure K.
Kid: Ok, ask me, 'tell me a joke'
Miss A.(confused again): What? You want me to ask you to tell me a joke?
Kid (super excited): Yes! Yes!
Miss A.(innocently): Ok, K. Tell me a joke.
Kid: Your bum broke.
Miss A.(wondering if she heard right): What was that???!!!
Kid (speaking as clearly as he can): Your-bum-broke!
I myself burst out laughing. 🤣😆😂
But what I was amazed about was how the teacher, Miss A. graciously handled this innocent joke without making the child feel condemned. Hats off to super star teachers like Miss A.!!! 👏👏👏
