Ryan was working on his spelling – which can be difficult for some – and he seemed to be having a tough time with one of the words. His dad, an actuary or someone with similar employment, stepped in to see if he could help in any way.
The word that Ryan was supposed to be spelling was “disappear,” but Ryan’s dad saw a different word, “appraised.” Incredibly, they have the exact same letters, just in a different order. However, “appraised” is a bit of a tough word for someone of Ryan’s age, giving this teacher a hint that he had some help.
It's Just That Easy
There are lots and lots of classrooms around the country and around the world that are full of funny jokes and cartoons like these examples. Laughter is always good, and it helps people be more receptive to learning stuff like algebra.
While using letters in the place of numbers seems like it just should not be, it is not that hard to figure out. But you still have to be in the learnin' mood. These two jokes are a good start, but after a few days, we're sure that they just become background things for the students in this room.
Time to Begin the Ritual
Teachers have to enter into their classrooms day in and day out and do the same things over and over and over again, sometimes for years on end. They have to spice it up a little bit. This guy, for instance, decided his thing would be to wear a hat and cape whenever he did an experiment. He certainly looks like he's teaching at Hogwarts.
We hope this was physics or chemistry class or something like that and not...biology. There is a periodic table of elements hanging on the wall next to the screen, so we are going to have to go with chemistry.
Be Back by Second Breakfast
Maybe you had to hit the john for a little bit of fluid regulation, or you needed to go to the library to study for a certain project. Whatever the reason, getting a hall pass from a teacher is something that has been going on in high schools for fifty years or more.
This teacher must have gotten sick of writing a “corridor pass” for one certain student, so he or she decided to have a little bit of fun with it. This little guy was on a long quest to throw the ring into the fires of Mount Doom.
A Joke Question for the Ages
There are many tests that go on and on and on for pages and pages, and physics tests are some of the worst. You have to come up with the right answer and show your work to get full credit, but some teachers will throw you a bone. A dinosaur bone, that is.
We've seen many tests that have joke questions to take the pressure off at the end, but this one is sneaky. You have to read the whole question to figure out that there is no math involved – just draw a cool dino and be on your way.
