I recently read Dirty Little Secrets from Otherwise Perfect Moms, a compilation of humorous anecdotes from moms, which were anonymously revealed. It's a short read, and I highly recommend it.
It dawned on me that my fellow Professors and I share with each other similar humorous stories about our daily interactions with students, so I decided to start collecting these.
To that end, if you have such a story, please post it here anonymously (after you read the disclaimer) in a paragraph or less. Topics might include:
- Student Mistakes (For example, a colleague of mine once received an essay about the Jews and the Genitals - rather than Gentiles.)
- Teacher Confessions (Perhaps you have a creative grading shortcut, you would never tell your supervisor. Or maybe you have to drink 3 gin and tonics before you can tackle that set of papers.)
- Student Behavior (Did something happen in your classroom that you just had to share with your co-workers?)
- In general, anything you have encountered in your job as a teacher which you found funny and just had to share with someone, or that you have personally done and wish to share anonymously.
Thanks, and let the giggles begin!
