" We have nicknames for many of our student , and we use them only when babble about them in the instructor ’s lounge . Example : Turd Burglar . "
We love teachers, and they are the foundation of America but we can’t help but look when there’s a good confession series on Reddit. So, here’s what 16 teachers shared when asked:What is a secret you don’t want your students to know?
1.“I’ve banged one of their moms. I’ve also changed answers on entrance exams to help the kids get into our private school.”
2.“At the beginning of each course, I have to memorize a lot of names in a very short period of time. Usually, I do this by making notes next to each name on my attendance list. Some could probably get me fired if anyone found out. Recent examples include ‘pit stains’ and ‘skinny Drew Carey.'”
3.“I teach stoned. It helps me think of ways to engage with my students as they find math boring. Also, I just enjoy being high.”
4.“I grade drunk all the time.”
5.“I’ve copulated with the good-looking science teacher right on the table where you sharpen your pencil.”
6.“I don’t grade any of my students’ final exams, just give them whatever grade they have in class at that point.”
7.“Math professor. I love it when you leave answers blank or show very little supporting work. I hate when you write me a huge page explaining your thought process.”
8.“For helper tasks (taking lunch count, attendance to office, etc.), we choose badly behaved kids, not well behaved ones. It gives us a break from them and gives them less time destroying things in the classroom.”
9.“Before I started dating their French teacher, I was hooking up with their math teacher… A year before that I was with their 6th grade teacher.”
10.“At the last staff party, we all drank so much homemade tequila and got so drunk we all passed out. I lecture about how bad drugs are, but I have tried most of them. There are many things I don’t want them to know…”
11.“We fart and blame it on you.”
12.“On most homework assignments, we spend maybe 30 seconds grading each one. We have trained ourselves to look for certain keywords in each assignment. Frankly, it is mindnumbing and repetitive work, very boring, and most people aren’t that different.”
13.“Movie days = Hangover days.”
14.“We have nicknames for many of our students, and we use them exclusively when talking about them in the teacher’s lounge. Example: Turd Burglar.”
15.And, lastly: “I tell my 2nd graders I can tell if they lie by reading their tongues. I catch a couple of kids in flat-out lies at the beginning of the year, and then they buy into it for the rest of the year.”
Got anything to add to the list?! Don’t be shy, expose your secret!
