I have had many a funny story from my former teaching days (of less than a year ago). My sister-in-law has a story to top them all. She teaches first grade. Her 3 year old girl was sick and she had to stay home with her. While out she assigned the substitute to help the class write a Halloween poem about black cats. Here is the poem:
Black cats play with yarn.
Black cats live in a barn.
Black cats can jump.
Black cats can hump.
Black cats say “Yeow”
The sub was an old lady who probably did not know what we use the term “hump” for these days. The principal confiscated the poster which was hanging up. Not before the sub sent a copy of the poem home with each child. The principal, who plans to use the poster as a joke in faculty meeting, also pointed out the last sentence about the cats saying “Yeow” after they hump. The substitute also misspelled yeow and put a paper over it then rewrote it as it is in the poem above. With the paper and the rewrite it brought more attention to yeow.
