Heard around the classroom of Miss Dyer

Cute girl in my class #1: "Oh Miss Dyer- I love that you grade our work in pink instead of red. It's so...."

Cute girl in my class #2: "It's sooo Miss Dyer is what it is!"

Cute girl in my class #1: "Yes- it is definitely so Miss Dyer. Red is so old school- hot pink is totally the new red... I'm glad you recognize that, Miss Dyer."

And then another quotable moment from WALB who was introduced to us a couple of blogs ago...

WALB: "Oh man, I just threw up."

Me: "What?! Where, Austin?" (as I stare at the gallon of red Kool-Aid he just brought with him to class today, no big deal- TOTALLY normal?!)

WALB: "Oh. Did I forget to say 'in my mouth'? I just threw up in my mouth. But it was so gross, you know how..."

Me: (interrupting him before the kid next to him ACTUALLY throws up) "Okay, we're good, Austin. Thanks."

And let's end on a note of the joy that it is for me to work with high school boys...

I'm giving my students this test to help them prep for the ACT. I have to read off all of these instructions for them to fill out the demographic section of the test.

Me: "You need to do A-D, skip E, then do F-L, skip M..."

Kid raises his hand and I call on him.

High school boy: "Can I do U?"
