At my school on the first wednesday of each month the parents have a lunch with the students and staff. Today was that day.

Lunch

Parent: I think we should let Ms. B think of something for us to begin discussing
Me: No
Ms B: Do you find what I have for us to talk about boring
Me: Not boring but you're inconsistent in terms of interest or not.
Parent: Oh be nice
Ms. B: Just being a little sarcastic I know hes not serious
Me: Me being sarcastic are any of us surprised?

Scott: (From back of classroom) Hey!
Mr. C: Austin be nice

Jolene: We used to use them when we were bored, we'd just toss 'em around
Me: Don't say that Mr. C cries whenever a math tool is misused
Mr C: Wait! What? No I don't
Me: You really are slow aren't you?

Lunch
Rudy: I wanted to ask you guys about a guy I saw yesterday
Scott: Yes he was coming on to you

Physics
(ALS is the computer program we use for most of our classes)

Mr C: (Showing me why I got a question wrong on the lesson for the test) You used the diameter rather than the radius, you need to make sure what you're using is the right one with ALS.
Me: Well played ALS, well played

Test Prep
( I was telling a teach how from physics I was burned out and didn't think I could write)

Ms. B: What do you typically do when you're this tired and can't work?
Jolene: Strangle the teacher
Me: (Makes fists and cracks knuckles) Where's Mr C?

Waiting to go biking for PE.

Short story behind our biking, on Tuesday when we went biking for the first time I wasn't allowed to go ahead as long as I was in sight which had been what it was all this year and over the summer. As we were going down a hill I went last because I knew I would be the fastest so that I was still with the group. Despite that I still ended up ahead of everyone, and the kid who was asking me these questions just doesn't get how to do anything normally, which you'll sort of see when you read these.


Kevin: When we went biking on Tuesday why did you still go ahead of the teachers even though they told you not to?
Me: Because I wasn't going to slow down prematureally for you all.
Kevin: Oh, I thought you were just ignoring their commands.
Me: I still ignore teachers, works well.

I go inside to get something before we leave, when I come out he repeating the story verbatim to one of our teachers.

Kevin: ... and he... oh you're back why don't you tell her.
Me: Pretty much I told him ignore you
Kevin: Isn't that terrible ignoring your commands.
Me: Yes I ignore them is this a state the obvious competition.
Ms B: What the hell is going on?
Me: What?
Ms B: Why are you being smartass to Kevin
Me: You know who you're talking to right?
Ms B: When you're smartass to me, it's a good techer - student relationship ammount.
Me: I'll have to work on being more smartass
Ms B: That'll be reflected in your grades.
Me: What you need is a two grade system Work and Smartassness

History from last week.

Ms. B was adding history class to my computer so me, Mike and Rudy were goofing around on history lessons.

Rudy (From his computer): Look at the last page on the lesson about Bill Clinton.

The Lesson's late page had a pretty sly double entendre in it. The page read "Although he did a lot of good in his presidency. President Clinton's presidency was mostly remembered for the scandals which left a satin on his presidency.

Mike: Looks at page and I walk over to read it,
Ms B. Sarah even though you're younger you are more mature than these three in some ways.

(I tell Rudy to look for a bizarre picture from the Vietnam War lesson.)

Ms. B: Are we finally read to start class
Rudy: I'm pulling out of Vietnam right now.



Lunch today
(We were reading the plot of a terrible movie called "Faster Pussycat Kill Kill)

Ms B: That movie sounds like soft core porn.
 
Assorted quotes from different days, that I meant to post but never did.

After lunch and a couple of my teachers were out on the deck and we had been asking them if at the library we could get unrated B-Movies and the rule is if a movie in unknown to staff and unrated then a staff has to watch it before we can get it.

Me: Ms B, since I have no morals at all I had anm offer for you.
Ms D: (Walking away as I said what I did) This'll be good (Stops Walking)
Me: I'll pay you if you let us get B-movies and watch them yourself so we can watch them.
Ms B: Fine I'll do it
Me: How much do you want
Ms B: You don't have to pay me, by offering to pay me I see how much you want them and I'll get them.
Me: That's great news for me since I'm a cheap person.

Physics today:

Ms B: This lesson is about to get harder and it'll trip you up a bit, and it's not going to teach you anything new.
Me: Can't we skip this part?
Ms B: Yes Austin we can skip all the tough work to just to do the easy work.
Me: I can't tell are you being serious or sarcastic?


Entire class: We'd rather just continue with this rather than do test prep.
Ms. B: Yes let me re arrange the school's schedule so that you four can be happy with your class. What kind of school is this where we change the schedule on a whim for four of you.

During test prep the staff we're preparing for a parent night tonight.

Ms B: Austin come here I want to change this quote of your's for tonight.
Me: Why
Ms B: Because we want to look like repectable staff for your parents.
Me: So the school is hiring professional actors to play the staff for one night?
Ms B: Go finish your work.

I guess I could tell the Casey story now, couldn't I?
Okay, so when our high school band went to Washington, DC over the summer it was an experience. Our hotel (otherwise very nice) seemed to have some sort of electrical problem that we (and the other guests) were unaware of. One day we came back to our hotel and we were goofing off and some girls decided to dress Casey (in the blue shirt) up like a girl. They had him in short-shorts, a tight shirt, make-up, the whole nine yards...and the electrical "problem" occured. This problem was that every night at around the same time, the fire alarms would go off. We all evacuated the building, every guest, all two hundred or so of us. Then the volunteer fire fighters arrived (Thank you, Laurel, Maryland VFD!) and there was Casey...dressed up like a girl. It was the funniest thing that occured to us on that trip. :D :lol:

Oh, and if this helps make the first quote funnier the guy in the back is Josh and he's not even standing up straight.
 
Oh, I love those threads... school can be really fun sometimes. :lol:

I spent most of my high school years in Germany (all but one actually), so I can only try to translate the stuff that my classmates say... some of it is really funny, but there's no exact translation for it.
I'll just try some that I can think of right now from 7th through 10th grade. (I stopped writing them down after that, which I really regret.)

Brittany: "Hey, Mr. Cartwright!"
Mr. Cartwright: "Hey, Mrs. Flood!"

Mr. Cartwright: "You're not married? What happened?"
Brittany: "He...left me. It was really sad."
Mr. Cartwright: "Oh. (ashamed) Sorry."
