Teaching has changed a lot over the past year, and in ways no one really wanted or planned for. Just like parents prefer their kids be in school all day, for myriad reasons, so would teachers prefer to be in the same space with the students they’re instructing.
That said, many are having to adjust to life over Zoom. If there’s an upside, it is, as always, the inherent humor – and these 13 teachers How 14 “Different” Kids Earned Their Reputations having some one-liners that are definitely going to crack you up.
Might as well just roll with it.
Similar thing with year 8 yesterday, ask if they've got any questions?

Home is such a complicated thing these days.
One thing I adore about teaching 6 year olds is when they raise their hand during a Zoom math lesson, while sitting at their own kitchen table, and ask, “Is it almost time to go home?”

Kid on Teams— “Mr. Kiernan, you didn’t have your coffee this morning, huh?”

Because kids are actually the best.
The best is when they raise a hand to ask a question but what they say is “I have a dog” …. kids are the best

Cats are the way to go.
Last night I got "would you like to see my cat"
Yes that is how you derail one of my lessons, I always want to see the cat.

Not so open-ended, maybe, but then we wouldn’t be laughing!
In my 4yo’s JK class the teacher finished the activity about the letter G & asked if anyone had questions. One kid yells, “BUT LIKE, HOW DO COWS MAKE ICE CREAM ANYWAY?!” It was hilarious!
— Andrea Miller (@andrearows) January 13, 2021
But you just can’t ignore it.
My Year 6s have figured out how to change their backgrounds on video… So if I don’t start the lesson by explicitly commenting on each of their backgrounds, in the middle of teaching the chat box would be filled with, “Miss, can you see horses? What about Mars, Miss?”

Dogs aren’t as good as cats, maybe, but they’re still pretty good.
Me: Alright, friends! Your job now is to work on independent reading and your SeeSaw activities. What questions do you have before we go?
S: “I was just thinking, and it’s kind of funny, but when you think about it, I was just wondering — could we see your dog?”

Don’t lie. You want to know the answer, too.
Students had a zoom call with a NASA employee today- one kid had his hand raised the whole time.
When the call ended he was near tears, his question unanswered.
I asked him for what it was & I’d send an email.
He wanted to know where farts went in space and if you could see them.— your favorite pagan (@ashbazile) December 17, 2020
Those elusive cats, always messing up school!

Bless her little caring heart.
I teach 4 year olds and this morning I was doing the calendar and one of them raised their hands so i answered her “yes ma’am?” And she goes: “Can I see if you have shiny clean teeth?”
and the same girl every morning asks me if I ate breakfast

It’s hard to tell, because it’s a legitimate question.
bless the teachers who wrangle kids' questions over Zoom, including,
"Why is it called Kentucky Fried Chicken if they didn't fry it in Kentucky?"*
*an actual question from my 6th grader's math class

Kids really do say the darnedest things, and I love when people share them!
If you’re a teacher (or a parent with a kid on Zoom), what’s the funniest thing you’ve heard through the screen? Share it with us in the comments!

There’s a lot of cringe on Twitter. Like, A TON.
But some of it transcends the usual cringe. Some of it skyrockets into “I think maybe we should call someone” levels of cringe, or even the dreaded “I’m pretty sure you’re trolling but even if you are what would possess you to want to troll in this way?” level of cringe.
It’s a lot to deal with. It’s not for the weak of mind. It’s something that you really have to steel yourself for. That said, prepare to steel away, because we’ve got a collection of Twitter cringe that might exceed all previous known levels of the phenomenon.
(Except where they involve public figures, all identities have been masked in order to protect…I dunno, all of us, I guess.)
Age differences speak louder than words.

Do you need to break free, but you can’t and that’s why you’re staring at a screen at this very moment?
Well what if I told you that you could break free THROUGH that screen to a land of wonder!
I mean, don’t literally break your screen. If you did already, we’re not liable for that, you really should get a fuller context on things before you act so aggressively. All we meant is that we’ve got some memes, and memes are a sort of freedom. That’s why “meme” rhymes with “free.”
What do you mean it doesn’t?
Well, it should.
