Teachers–and I’m one of those now–have their own kind of humor. After returning to that noble profession after a 13-year hiatus and surviving my first two weeks in a Title 1 school, I wanted to share with you a story sent to me today. It makes me kinda wish I’d hurt my back last week.
A former Sergeant in the Marine Corps took a new job as a high school teacher.
Just before the school year started, he injured his back. He was required to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. Fortunately, the cast fit under his shirt and wasn’t noticeable.
On the first day of class, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in the school. The smart-aleck punks, having already heard the new teacher was a former Marine, were leery of him and he knew they would be testing his discipline in the classroom. Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, the new teacher opened the window wide and sat down at his desk.
When a strong breeze made his tie flap, he picked up a stapler and stapled the tie to his chest.
Dead silence…
The rest of the year went very smoothly.
Way Too Funny, Quite nice
Yep. I can imagine the looks on their faces! What tricks have you used ?
Love it! (I’m picturing all kinds of alternatives to a plaster cast …)
ROFLMBO!!! Cant stop laughing!!! Too cool, I hadn’t heard that one before. Wow, what an impact! Can you imagine the rumors that roamed those walls about that teacher, probably an amazing teacher too. 🙂
what is ROFLMBO?
Roll on floor laughing my bottom off! Should have asked Tatum, bet she knew what it meant. Love ya.
