Being a teacher is… rewarding. But mostly it’s just trying to get thirty kids to sit down and not eat glue. And then you grade the tests. Sometimes you get the right answer, sometimes you get the wrong answer, and sometimes you get an answer that makes you stare at the wall and question your degree.

These kids aren’t wrong, technically. If I ask “What ended in 1896?” and you write “1895,” I can’t legally mark it wrong, but I do hate you a little bit. It’s that special kind of smart-aleck energy that tells me you’re either going to be a genius or a criminal. Probably both.

The “bitch stickers” for bandaids? Honestly, I’m adopting that. It’s accurate. And the kid who walked up to the eye chart? That is problem-solving. That is thinking outside the box.

As a teacher, you have to laugh at these. If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry in the supply closet. These answers prove that kids are listening, they’re just processing the information in the most chaotic way possible. And honestly? Touche, students. Touche.
