Story 1:
In the fourth grade reading curriculum students need to read a story about the Titanic. Then they must complete a workbook page. The question on the page is Would you ever like to take a trip on an ocean liner? Why or Why not?
Student response: No, I would never want to go on an ocean liner because if it sinks women and children need to get off first and I will never see my dad :)
Teacher: Well all ocean liners don't sink.
Student: Oh okay then...I guess I will go on it!
Story 2:
I was testing a student. The word problem stated " Bob has to use a pay phone to call Jim. He needs .65cents What is the least amount of coins he can use to make the phone call?"
Student thinks..Hmmm, Use a cell phone! and his reaction was duhhh how stupid you don't know that!
There is so much more but somehow I forget..so I will make sure to post them here so I can remember all the reasons why working with children is so rewarding.
