We have jokes from both sides of the
school desk.  Jokes poking
fun at teachers, and teacher jokes, where they have a laugh at the pupils.

 

Funny School Excuse Notes

Normally ‘teachers jokes
mean fun at a teacher’s
expense, whereas these excuse notes are
teacher’s
revenge, having a laugh at pupil’s
excuses, some were even written by the children themselves.

These are excuse notes from parents (with their original spelling), collected by schools from all over the country.

    care and should not take P.E. today.

Footnote 1

We have to assume that these school excuse notes were written by the parents.  Because when I was teaching, such notes would often be a
give-away that they had been written by the pupils.

3) Fascinating Teacher Joke

The teacher asked her class of 8 year olds to use a sentence containing the word fascinate

Molly put up her hand and said, ‘My family went to my granddad’s
farm, and we all saw his pet sheep It
was fascinating.’
The teacher said, ‘That was good, but I wanted you to use the word ‘fascinate’, not fascinating’.

Sally raised her hand. She said, ‘My family went to see Rock City and was
fascinated.’

The teacher said, ‘Well, that was good Sally, but I wanted you to use the word ‘fascinate.’

Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because she had been burned by
Little Johnny before. She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word ‘fascinate’, so she called on him.

big she can only fasten eight.’

5) More Humor from the Classroom

Humour is not always contrived. Will and Guy were teachers in their ‘previous
lives’ and can vouch for the fact that children often create funny moments
without meaning to cause laughter. Here are some examples which we have come
across.

Moira was struggling to get the tomato ketchup out of the bottle. As
she was trying the phone rang and her 4 year old daughter, Louise, answered it
saying, ‘Sorry, mummy can’t come to the phone at the moment because she’s
hitting the bottle.’

Roger, the local police/school liaison officer was in Green Barn
Primary School, Sherborne, Dorset, UK, on an official visit when Mary,
age 6, approached him.

‘Are you a policeman?’ Mary asked.

‘Yes,’ answered Roger smiling.

‘My mum said if I was ever in trouble then I ought to ask a
policeman for help. Is that true?’

‘Of course,’ uttered Roger.

‘Then will you please tie my shoelace?’ said Mary.

Jenny was watching her daddy getting dressed in his dinner jacket
[tuxedo] before the party.

‘You shouldn’t wear that, daddy,’ she murmured.

‘Why, darling?’ inquired her father of Jenny.

‘Well you know it always gives you a headache in the morning, said Jenny.’

Chris was driving his 4 year old, Betsy, to the beach one summer
when a woman in a cabriolet in front stood up and waved. She was
absolutely naked and as Chris was recovering from the shock he heard Betsy
shout,’ Look, daddy, that woman isn’t wearing a seat belt.’

Maggie, [Will’s sister] was an infant school teacher, and on her
first day with the reception class [1st graders] at Northern Primary,
Portchester, a little girl gave her a note which said: ‘The opinions
expressed by this child are not necessarily those of her parents.’

Steve, age 6 years, became lost in the sports complex known as HMS Temeraire, the Royal Navy Physical Training centre in Portsmouth, UK.
Seeing a ladies locker room [changing facility] in front of him he darted in
to ask for help. When he was spotted the room burst into shrieks, with
ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. Steve watched in amazement
and then asked, ‘What’s the matter, haven’t you ever seen a little boy before?’

Jack, the Westbourne village police officer, parked his van outside
the police station in Havant and was about to collect his police dog, a
German shepherd, from the back. The dog was barking rather loudly and a
little boy who was watching enquired, ‘Is that a dog you’ve got there?’

‘Yes,’ smiled Jack.

The little boy looked extremely puzzled and eventually asked, ‘What did he do?’

Paul, while working for ‘meals-on-wheels’, an organisation that delivers
lunches to the elderly, Paul used to take his 4-year-old daughter, Lois,
with him on his afternoon rounds. Lois was unfailingly intrigued by the
various appliances of old age, particularly the walking sticks,
triangular walkers and the wheelchairs.  One day Paul found Lois staring
at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As he prepared himself for the
inevitable barrage of questions, Lois merely turned and whispered, ‘The
tooth fairy is never going to believe this.’

Nathan, after his first day at school, returned home and told his
mother, ‘I’m wasting my time at school. I can’t read, I can’t write,
and they won’t let me talk.’

Father John, while walking along the pavement in front of his church, heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt.
Apparently, his 5-year-old son, Rory, and his playmates had found a dead
robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a
small box and some cotton wool, then dug a hole and made ready for the
disposal of the deceased. Rory, the minister’s son was chosen to say the
appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of
what he thought his father always said, ‘Glory be unto the Faaather,
and unto the Sonnn, and into the hole he goooes.’

Teacher-Speak

It is often hard to determine the meaning of what a teacher says, so to
help you along, here is a handy guide of:

 What a Teachers Says and What He Really Means for Year 10
Students:

  • “The answer to your question is beyond the scope of this class.” (I
    don’t know the answer.)
  • “If you follow these few simple rules, you’ll do fine on the
    course.” (If you don’t need any sleep, you’ll do fine in the course.)
  • “Various authorities agree that…” (My hunch is that…)
  • “You’ll have to see me during my office hours for a thorough answer
    to your question.” (I need more time to research the answer.)
  • “In answer to your question, you must recognize that there are
    several disparate points of view.” (I REALLY don’t know the answer.)
  • “We can continue this discussion outside of class.” (I want to quit
    because you’re winning the argument.)
  • “Today, we’ll let a member of the class lead the discussion. It will
    be good educational experience.” (I stayed out to late last night and
    didn’t have time to prepare a lecture.)
  • “Any questions?” (I’m ready to let you go.)
  • “The test scores were generally good.” (Some of you managed a C+.)
  • “Before we begin the lesson for today, are there any questions about
    previous material?” (Has anyone opened the book yet?)
