We often don’t give kids enough credit for their unique and innocent perspectives on life. While it’s true that most kids don’t know as much as most adults, they do seem to have exceptional clarity about certain things that most adults lose as they get older. While the adults in a room may not be able to agree over minor details, a group of kids will often focus on finding the most straightforward and creative solutions. While their solutions are usually not realistic, they are not afraid to put themselves out there as many adults are when it comes to brainstorming. Few folks understand this fact better than teachers, who have a daily front-row seat to witness our children’s creative minds at work. Here are a couple of jokes in which the teachers asked their students a question and got the most surprising and hilarious answers.
TEACHER: Maria, go to the map and find North America.
MARIA: Here it is.
TEACHER: Correct. Now class, who discovered America?
CLASS: Maria.
TEACHER: John, why are you doing your math multiplication on the floor?
JOHN: You told me to do it without using tables.
TEACHER: Glenn, how do you spell “crocodile?”
GLENN: K-R-O-K-O-D-I-A-L
TEACHER: No, that’s wrong.
GLENN: Maybe it is wrong, but you asked me how I spell it.
TEACHER: Donald, what is the chemical formula for water?
DONALD: HIJKLMNO.
TEACHER: What are you talking about?
DONALD: Yesterday you said it’s H to 0.
TEACHER: Winnie, name one important thing we have today that we didn’t have ten years ago.
WINNIE: Me!
TEACHER: Glen, why do you always get so dirty?
GLEN: Well, I’m a lot closer to the ground than you are.
TEACHER: Millie, give me a sentence starting with “I.”
MILLIE: I is.
TEACHER: No, Millie. Always say, “I am.”
MILLIE: Alright. “I am the ninth letter of the alphabet.”
TEACHER: George Washington not only chopped down his father’s cherry tree, but also admitted it. Now, Louie, do you know why his father didn’t punish him?
LOUIS: Because George still had the axe in his hand.
TEACHER: Now, Simon, tell me frankly, do you say prayers before eating?
SIMON: No sir, I don’t have to, my Mom is a good cook.
TEACHER: Clyde, your composition on “My Dog” is exactly the same as your brother’s. Did you copy his?
CLYDE: No, sir. It’s the same dog.
TEACHER: Harold, what do you call a person who keeps on talking when people are no longer interested?
HAROLD: A teacher.
