Quips teachers make
Every once in a while during the past few years I've received a list similar to this. I doubt its accuracy, but as overworked as I hear some teachers are, who knows.
This one allegedly comes from teachers in New York City schools.
Teachers, tell me what you think. Have you been tempted?
These are actual comments made on students' report cards by teachers in the New York City public school system. All teachers were reprimanded (but, boy, are these funny!)
1. Since my last report, your child has reached rock bottom and has started to dig.
2. I would not allow this student to breed.
3. Your child has delusions of adequacy.
4. Your son is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.
5. Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.
6. The student has a 'full six-pack' but lacks the plastic thing to hold it all together.
7. This child has been working with glue too much.
8. When your daughter's IQ reaches 50, she should sell.
9. The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.
10. If this student were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week.
11. It's impossible to believe the sperm that created this child beat out 1,000,000 others.
12. The wheel is turning but the hamster is definitely dead.
In my opinion, teacher or anyone for that matter should keep these comments as thoughts instead of public. Yes we all have thought it maybe not this exactly but something similar, but yet not everyone goes around making it public. Teachers especially should know better, they need to know the boundaries in when to keep something like this quiet because when they where in school, I'm sure they had problems in certain areas of certain subjects. Children are children not geniuses and need they need that extra help, not being put down.
