Teacher: "Glenn, how do you spell Crocodile?" Glenn: "K-R-O-K-O-D-I-A-L." Teacher: "No, that's wrong." Glenn: "It might be wrong, but you asked me how I spell it." Teacher: "Cindy, why are you doing your math problems on the floor?" Cindy: "You told me to do it without using tables." Tommy: "Dad, can you write in the dark?" Father: "I think so. What do you want me to write?" Tommy: "Your name on this report card." Teacher: "What is the chemical formula for water?" Sarah: "H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O" Teacher: "What are you talking about?" Sarah: "Yesterday you said water is 'H to O'." Teacher: "Johnny, give me a sentence starting with 'I'." Johnny: "I is--" Teacher: "NO, Johnny! Always say 'I am!" Johnny: "All right: I am the ninth letter of the alphabet." Teacher: "George Washington not only chopped down his father's cherry tree, but also admitted doing it. Now do you know why his father did not punish him?" Sally: "Because George still had the axe in his hand." Teacher: "Children, if I saw a man beating a donkey and stopped him, what virtue would I be showing?" Johnny: "Brotherly love." Teacher: "What do you call a person who keeps talking when people are no longer interested?" Entire Class, in unison: "A Teacher!"
