Tales from Substitute teaching

I have recently started to substitute teach once in a while

Setting: First Grade Classroom

During reading groups, two boys were singing, "beat it...beat it... beat it..."

Mrs. Petersen- "Oh you two like Michael Jackson"

Student- "You know Michael Jackson hasn't always been gay."

Mrs. Petersen (chuckling yet trying to maintain teacher status)- "Excuse me?"

Student- "Ya, my brother told me that he used to like girls."


Ahhhhhh, the perks of teaching ;-)
