I was looking for another funny photo for the caption game and
found something very strange.
Feel free to find a label from this
Note From The Teacher.

Alex, what are you in detention for?
For being more intelligent than my teacher, sir.

A nephew was once assigned to write an essay about "memorable people I have known" and was called a liar in front of the class, kept in detention after school, and sent home with a rather nasty note.

He had stated that he had an uncle who was a sniper in Viet Nam, his dad was a warden at a Federal Penitentiary, another uncle was a CIA agent, and lastly he had an uncle who was a rocket scientist.

His mother's reply to the note was:

"<teacher>

Apologize.

<mother>"

His dad was in charge of the "Honor Farm" at Leavenworth Penitentiary.
His Uncle L was a secret service agent.
He did have an uncle recently returned from Viet Nam where said uncle had been on "single agent patrol" as a sniper for at least a year.

I sent him a stub from a welding rod that had been used to assemble an Apollo Liquid Oxygen Tank along with a small sample of the gold-plated mylar insulation from one of the tanks, with a note describing what they were.

I'm not sure of the content of the letter he received from Uncle L, but I'd guess that he had a pretty good time at the next "show and tell."

Stating that a kilometer is greater than a mile is really stretching it too far! Give these teachers an inch and they take a yard!

Shouldn't that be "Give these teachers and inch and they take a metre!"

The local football club where we used to live had a regular quiz night to raise funds.
It was the team of teachers from the primary school that always came last.

.......... so using this new information (albeit incorrect) we can deduct that a mile is less than a kilometre which, if used sensibly could shorten a journey considerably.

I got a very irate report from my son's teacher about his lying and exaggerating to the class. When I asked for specifics, she said that he had told the class that I was attacked by a kangaroo. She was part shocked and part embarrassed when I explained that I had.

No sense of humor.

My late nephew, when he was young, bragged to his teacher that he kept several hundred pets under his bed!
It was only when the teacher reported this exaggeration to his mum that my sister discovered bowls full of tadpoles just about to become tiny frogs!

Sometimes teachers do at least pretend to take these apparent "tall stories" seriously. When my daughter was about 6, a girl in her class used to say things like "My dad is Barney the dinosaur" and "My uncle is a robot". The class didn't believe her about the robot (they apparently accepted the Barney one), so the girl brought a postcard of a robot into school to show, and the teacher said (with a little wink) "Let's thank X for bringing in this interesting photo of her uncle."

Last year, my daughter was checking out old schoolmates on Facebook and saw photos of this girl's 18th birthday party....with entertainment by two mime artists in robot masks. So maybe it was true after all. No sign of Barney, though.
