<p>“When’s 9/11?”</p>
<p>12th grade British Literature (could not fit in AP English): We had been reading Beowulf for two days, and the teacher decides to summarize what we’ve read so far. </p>
<p>She talks a while, and a student (who had been in class the whole time we’ve been reading the story, out loud, with frequent breaks to explain), asks who Grendel is. The teacher says Grendel is the fen-dragon killed by Beowulf. The student’s retort: “What’s a Beowulf?”</p>
<p>I know this was an honest question, because I can’t see the nameless student having that sort of sense of humor. Also, as you might’ve guessed, the standards in this class are really low, especially when I compare them to those of last year’s AP English class.</p>
<p>Note: “What’s a Beowulf?” reminds me of Watson’s “What is leg?” on Jeopardy.</p>
<p>Today I had Language Arts, and my teacher had just explained something. Apparently she hadn’t explained it well enough because people kept asking what to do. She answers everyone and FINALLY everyone gets it. 10 minutes later everything is quiet and this kid in class says: “What are we supposed to do?”</p>
<p>You had to be there, everyone just turned and stared.</p>
<p>“Wait, girls have genitals?”</p>
<p>“All kinds of things fall out of trees! Like leaves, and dead squirrels and…stuff.” (My 9th grade IPS teacher explaining the ecosystem…)</p>
<p>“Texas is in North America? I thought it was a tribe in Africa?” funny thing is, im from texas, even funnier, im black…</p>
<p>“Wait, there’s TURKEY in turkey burgers? I thought there was no meat in them.”</p>
<p>-------------------------------------------If it is to be, it is up to me…</p>
<p>Discussing 1984 today:</p>
<p>“So did this stuff really happen?”</p>
<p>USH: Teacher is discussing one of the reasons why african americans were chosen as slaves. (the fact that enslaving native americans didn’t work, because when they escaped they weren’t able to identify them immedietly, but obviously african americans can be easily identified when they escape.)</p>
<p>Teacher: “Well think of it this way! When native americans left, no one had any idea they had, but when blacks left? Well, it was like raisins in mayonaise!”</p>
<p>English:
Teacher: “When Virgin Mary was informed she was pregnant, they were like ‘Yo Mary! You’re pregnant yo!’”
(laugh)
Teacher: “Wait… What’s a gangster word for pregnant?”
Me: “Um… Knocked up?”
Teacher: “YES! PERFECT! Yo Mary! You’re knocked up yo!”</p>
<p>lmaoo xD She was just kidding arouf though; she doesn’t really talk like that :p</p>
<p>Funny moments in APUSH. One of my friends hadn’t slept because he…well I don’t know why. Our teacher scans the class and proceeds to ask us, “who can summarize the declaratory acts?” My friend, who had just woke up, accidentally made eye contact with the teacher (which is roughly the equivalent to raising your hand in his class). Our teacher tells him to answer and he just says, “why? You asked if someone could summarize them, you never said I had to actually answer.” </p>
<p>We all laughed for about ten minutes while the teacher was a little flustered. My friend also fell asleep again, so the teacher told him to explain what the declaratory acts were. Well, since he was half awake, he just said, “Britain made the colonists their *****.” Ah fun times. </p>

<p>AP World class:
“Does it still taste like tea where the Boston Tea Party happened?”</p>
<p>“I’m not Christian. I’m Catholic.”</p>
<p>“Wait, Mormons can have sex?”</p>
<p>Our nurse was giving us orientation and she said
“You can come down to my office for anything. Like, if you’re having trouble at home or you missed your period” (she meant class period)…</p>
<p>“I once drank a whole jar of sodium.”</p>
