It's not just the kids.

Sometimes its the grown ups who say the silliest things! We sat in the staffroom today talking about a particularly dopey child and one member of staff nodded wisely and said, "Yes, he's not very roadworthy is he." I think she meant streetwise!!! Either that or they've suddenly started issuing kids with MOTs and someone forgot to tell me.

Frustration

OK, no particularly funny comments today but I did get to the point of mildly bash my head against a wall after I'd spent ages explain to a child that he should put a picture of a farmer on his work and then he asked me, "Shall I draw it?" Maybe I'll use better English next time!

Introduction

As a teacher I have often sat around in the staff room talking about the silly comments that children come out with and inevitably someone always says, "We should write them down and make a book." Well here is my contribution to the world, not a book but a blog. I'll start with the comment that sticks out most in my mind at the moment.

At the end of the Spring term we were making books using a hole punch and some string. It was the first time the children had used the hole punch, so I demonstrated and then left them to it. A while later one of the children came to find me. "Miss," he said. "The hole punch has run out." I think he wanted me to go into the cupboard and find some more holes for it!
