Teacher, can I ask a question?

Read Now

I am asked many questions every day, but this was the winner. Back in 1990, during the first Gulf War, I was teaching seventh and eight grade. One morning, during the bombing campaign, I was standing next to our principal on the playground discussing school business. One of the student came up to us. She seemed worried. She asked if any of the bombs were going to fall at our school in Monterey Park. We assured her that she was safe and that the war was on the other side of the world. She had nothing to fear at that time. She looked a little sad and disappointed. Before she turned to walk away she said, "I guess I'll do my homework then." We had been concerned for her state of mind since there was a lot of coverage of the war on television, she had hoped to get out of turning in her homework.

What questions have you asked your teachers?

I asked a teacher once what was her age because it was her birthday that day and because she looked so ancient that it was the time when the television was just made. She said he was 76 on that day. I knew it was no respect but i just had to because it was her last year at the school and she was retiring :(

I do not remember any strange questions to my teacher nor anything outstanding that I remember.

What I do remember is a bunch of paranoid questions to my mother about diseases and mythical creatures. :p About will I get this disease? Or will these mythical creatures attack or whatever. Even though I know the diseases are pretty rare and mythical creatures are MYTHICAL. I can't help asking just so that my mom could say something and reassure me. >__<

Once in kindergarten there was a poster of animals and the one I was scared of was the dragon so I asked my teacher if the dragon was ever going to come alive. She said no.

I once tried to ask the teacher a question but I never got a chance to.

I was in school when I had to go to the restroom. I wanted to ask the teacher two questions, Where is the bathroom?, and Where is the lights. But I only had the chance to ask one question. I was finding the lights when I realized that my pants were wet. I got sent to the nurse's office and they called my home. My grandparents had to come with clean clothes.

Well one time I asked my fifth grade writing teacher, Mrs.Scorcia, about what are we gonna write and she said anything. Then a boy stood up and said,"Even about a baby bird and a wild tiger fighting and the baby bird won?" Mrs.Scorcia just said yeah sure in a very weird way and he said,"Well I'm gonna write about that."

I would ask why give so much homework when we do so much work at school?
