To celebrate Friday, I searched the web for some funny education-related stories. Here they are for you enjoyment. Have a great weekend!

A child came home from his first day at school. His mother asks, “Well, what did you learn today?” The child replies, “Not enough. They want me to come back tomorrow.”

Stressing the importance of a good vocabulary, the teacher told her students, “Use a word ten times, and it will be yours for life”. From somewhere in the back of the room, came a male voice chanting, “Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda.”

Early one morning, a mother went in to wake up her son. “Wake up. It’s time to go to school!”

• Son: “But why, Mom? I don’t want to go.”
• Mother: “Give me two reasons why you don’t want to go.”
• Son: “Well, the kids hate me for one, and the teachers hate me, too!”
• Mother: “Oh, that’s no reason not to go to school. Come on now and get ready.”
• Son: “Give me two reasons why I should go to school.”
• Mother: “Well, for one, you’re 52 years old. And for another, you’re the Principal!”

Two college seniors had an exam coming up. However, instead of studying, they decided to party. So, when they went to take the test, they told the professor that they had had a flat tire the night before and asked if they could have a bit more time to study. The professor told them that they could have another day to study. That evening, both of the boys crammed all night until they were sure that they knew just about everything. Arriving to class the next morning, each boy was told to go to separate classrooms to take the exam. Each shrugged and went to two different parts of the building. As each sat down, they read the first question. “For 5 points, explain the contents of an atom.” At this point, they both thought that this was going to be a piece of cake, and answered the question with ease. Then, the test continued…

“For 95 points, tell me which tire it was.”
