I usually hear a bunch of good ones but today was the dumbest.

Heard a 3rd grader tell a teacher that she forgot how to write her name.

Of course this ended up in a restraint because the teacher doesn't understand PDD kids dgaf

In the 7th grade, I genuinely asked my bald science teacher if he still had to shampoo his head?

His response, out loud, was "Do you shampoo your butt?"

Hindsight, I was not quick enough to make the realization he just compared his head to my arse. Nor was anyone else apparently.

When I was teaching Geography I was asked if Panama City Beach was the same place that Manuel Noriega was removed from. Runner up was when a girl asked if Alaska was really pink after looking a a map of the US.

Had a kid come running in my office two days ago with a bloody nose and yelling "Oh my God I think I have Ebola! I'm bleeding from an oh face (he meant orifice)"

"Does America still have Santa Anna's leg?"

I don't think anyone needs to ask this question.

I forgot how to eat in grade school. Like the whole, chew chew swallow thing. It was bad.

Exactly.

Another one was a few years ago we used these small green, stock paper cards to report injuries on students. Had a kid that had jammed his finger playing ball and wanted an ice pack. So while I'm getting an ice pack for him I tell him he needs to grab the green card on my desk to take to his teacher to fill out for the injury. And he immediately gets frantic and is like "No no no no. I don't need that". I explain to him that it has to be filled out and he says, "But I already have a green card. And I'm NOT going back to that office to stand in line to get it either".

He was Cuban and thought I was talking about an actual immigration green card.

I once told my 3rd grade teacher and class that I went to Australia with my family over the weekend.

Heard a girl in philo 1000 ask if it would be the hardest class she took in college

same class, my prof (who didn't even have a PhD) told me I was thinking too "philosophically" about reality when I asked him to back up some of his claims.


needless to say I dropped the shite out of that class.

I was in a class with a girl in college who thought slavery ended in 1940. That wasnt even the worst thing she got wrong. She would also sit on the front row and clip her fingernails while the teacher was lecturing

Heard a student ask a teacher if dinosaurs were real. She was 16-17. I said that was going in my book of dumbest shite I've ever heard. Some other girl laughed. I told her not to laugh because she was getting her own chapter. She was real dumb as well but I can't remember any examples now.

The amount of people that don't/didn't realize Alaska and Hawaii aren't right next to each other is astonishing.

I had a 30 minute discussion with a math 100 student about why you can't take the square root of -1. He kept asking "why" and trying to explain that two of the same number can never multiple to be - didn't work. So finally I caved to his demands and wrote out a mini proof of it, which I knew he wouldn't understand. Of course he tries to get me to explain it again with another "ok but why can't you" and I said - look you simply can't do it, just write i and move on

These aren't dumb questions for a k-2nd grader, Gallagher would be proud

Didn't tell a teacher but when I was a senior in high school one of my friends was playing for around on Google Earth and said he wanted to look at the White House so he scrolled over to Washington and a little bit later expressed his frustration at not being able to find the White House
















He was in Seattle
