Qu'est-ce que la vie?

Online learning has been pretty much terrible so in celebration of the school year ending, here are some of my favorite things that students have said to me in my first two years of teaching that made me laugh/cry/feel something:

—

Student: *Raises hand*
Me, naively expecting a question about middle school science: Yes?
Student: Do you have health insurance?

—

Me: Florida is not in another country.
Student: It’s not? I thought it was in Brazil.
Me: Florida is definitely in the United States.
Student: Oh. I’ve been telling people I went to Brazil.

—

“Do you have to pay for parent conferences?”

—

Student: *Walks into room holding 2 white colored pencils and nothing else. No book bag, no binder, no regular pencil*
Me: Where’s your binder? You need your binder for science class.
Student: Why? There’s no sciencey stuff in there.
Me: Well, maybe there would be more ‘sciencey stuff’ if you brought your binder… And why do you have two white colored pencils? You can’t write with those. Where did you even get those?
Student: I don’t know.

—

Student, out of nowhere: So you were around in the 80′s, right?
Me, a 23-year-old: No I wasn’t ???

—

While we were learning about the digestive system, one of my students was so grossed out by it that she taped a piece of paper over the diagram in the textbook and wrote “Sensored. Do not lift” to warn future students not to look at it

—

Student: Can I follow you on Instagram?
Me: No. Maybe when you graduate from high school.
Student: But that’s in 6 years! You’ll be, like… 40.
Me, a 24-year-old:

—

Me: This is incorrect. You have to do the reading to find the answer.
Student: This is probably what it says in the reading.
Me: This is not what it says in the reading.
Student: My dad’s a doctor.

The gaang plays a stupid game which basically tests how good zuko is at finding shit.

It starts off with aang trying to make zuko more likeable by showing how good he is at finding things. He hides their supplies in a weird part of the western air temple and is like “don’t worry. I’m sure zuko can find it by the end of the day.” He finds it in ten minutes.

The game gets more ridiculous. Aang hides their supply bag in secret rooms that not even he knew existed up until now. Katara freezes it in a block of ice and submerges it in a nearby lake. Sokka trains Appa to keep it in his mouth for long periods of time without swallowing it. Zuko finds it every damn time.

They’re impressed and somewhat unsettled by how good he is at this game. But they absolutely lose their shit when it comes to toph’s turn. She hides the supply bag deep underground and assures them that zuko can’t possibly find it unless he magically became an earth bender and learned seismic sense overnight.

Zuko kinda struggles with this one until he walks over the patch of dirt where toph buried the bag. It looks normal but he feels…different somehow?

Everyone’s thinking “oh god. Oh no. He can’t possibly do it. Don’t tell me he’s gonna do it.” Zuko silently points below his feet and the rest of the gaang have a collective breakdown.

Zuko’s like, “does this mean you guys think I’m cool now?” They’re all too terrified to say anything but “y-yeah sure.” And poor zuko is too socially inept to hear the fear in their voices. He just smiles and thinks his friends are liking him more now.

This was simultaneously adorable and funny

Reminder that the woman who started “Gender Reveal Parties” as a trend did so because she had been having miscarraiges and wanted to celebrate finally getting to know the sex of one of her pregnancies. And she is actually very much bothered by the cis-normative celebration of traditional gender roles its turned out to be.

And she is already explaining to her daughter concepts of gender identity and is an outspoken ally to trans and nonbinary people.

She is not impressed with your cakes, Bobs and Susans.

shout out to the boys that hate their bodies but are trying really really hard to find the beauty and comfort in them because that shit is hard and takes a lot of time and is emotionally exhausting. i’m proud of y’all.
