It is almost time for school to begin and it is time to get the sense of humor engaged for the challenges ahead. So, we are warming up the laughter generator with a few stories – the things a student’s teacher will never tell their parents.

During an eighth-grade sex education class, no one could answer the question, “What happens to a young woman during puberty?” No one could answer, so the teacher rephrased it, “What happens to a young woman as she matures?” as they mature?” Finally, a student spoke up, “They start to carry a purse.”

One student answered: “They start to carry a purse.”

******* Walking through the hallways at a middle school, there was a new substitute teacher standing outside his classroom with his forehead against a locker, muttering to himself, “How did you get yourself into this?”

Another teacher knew he had been assigned a difficult class tried to offer some moral support, “Are you okay? Can I help?”

The young teacher looked up and replied, “I’ll be fine as soon as I get this kid out of his locker.”

****** Just before the final exam in my college finance class, a less-than-stellar student approached his instructor and asked, “Can you tell me what grade I would need to get on the exam to pass the course?”

The instructor gave him the bad news, “The exam is worth 100 points and you would need 113 points to earn a D.”

“OK,” he said. “And how many points would I need to get a C?”

****** A police car with flashing lights pulled a teacher over near the high school. As the officer asked for the teacher’s license and registration, his students began to drive past. Some honked their horns, others hooted, and still others stopped to admonish the teacher for speeding.

Finally, the officer asked the driver of the car if he was a teacher at the school and he said yes..

The policeman smiled and said, “I think you’ve paid your debt to society,” and left without giving him a ticket.
