When I was growing up, my parents grilled it into my head to never talk back to a teacher. They said that even if the teacher was wrong (or if I thought the teacher was wrong), I was supposed to sit there and be quiet. To be honest, there were times when I wondered what the teachers were talking about, but I followed our family rule of “the teacher is always right.” It wasn’t until I was older that I realized that teachers are human beings and sometimes make mistakes just like the rest of us do. I was about the same age when I realized the same thing about my parents. Regardless, teachers are doing important work in this country and around the world. What would we do without them? Society would be doomed. Below, you’ll find 10 wholesome and funny jokes about kids outsmarting their teachers. Enjoy!
