Embarrassed

Most embarrassing moment thus far:

Students, pleading, "Miss Eddy, you HAVE to go watch 'John Doe' on youtube! He is hilarious."

Me: "Okay, okay."

Students, the next day: "Did you watch 'John Doe'?!"

Me: "Guys, 'John Doe' was STUPID."

Students: "Uhhh, 'John Doe' goes to our school."

Girl Student: "He is in my Chemistry class."

Boy Student: "I'm going to tell him you said that!"

Me: "What I MEANT to say was that I didn't think it was very funny."

Then I dug a hole and buried myself.

Cheater

I thought I caught my first cheater. I had him change seats immediately.

Later, I graded the tests. He got a D, and the kid he cheated off of got an F.

Nice cheating.

Superhero

Me: "Who is your favorite superhero and why?"

Student 1: "Miss Eddy, showin' up proofs with theorems and such."

Me: "Who is your favorite villain and why?"

Student 2: "Miss Eddy - she so evil."

Nightmare

I had my first bad dream about my students. My students were swearing uncontrollably and not listening at all.

& this was before I agreed to chaperone the dance.

"Highlights" of the First Quarter

Me: "What is your favorite part of this class?"

Student: "Looking at you."

Student 1: "Miss Eddy, do you have kids?!"

Me: "Haaaa!"

Student 2: "Well, how old are you? Twenty-eight?"

Students: "Come on, Miss Eddy, tell us how old you are!!"

Me: "All right, the reason I didn't want to tell you was because I am actually younger than you! My mom drives me to school every day!"

Students: "Really?"

I pass out the new note-taking guides.

Student, flipping through the book, "It smells like learning."

Me: "Okay, Kim and John, do you remember what an obtuse angle is?"

Student Kim: "Ohhh, John, it's big!"

Student John: "I know."

Hold On Tight

I was hired Monday evening August 30th. School starts September 7th. The life of Miss Eddy begins.
