Is that even an experiment?
A 5th grader knocks on my door during my prep.
Kid: “Hi, can we borrow you for an experiment?”
Me: “What kind of experiment?”
Kid: “We want to see how far every teacher in the school can jump on one foot.”
Wow, 5th grade teachers. You’ve really just thrown in the towel I see.

Me: “I don’t know why you have to learn this, kid, you just do. Now go read.”
Then I notice the children aren’t in school today and I’m talking to myself.

Kid: “Why do we have to learn this?”
Me: “Because someone’s paying me– albeit, pennies. You hear me? Pennies!– to teach it to you. PENNIES, kid!”
