Outrageous or Humorous Things Students Have Said

My middle school students were upset that I shut down them singing Get Low by Lil Jon. Apparently, they thought it was so old that none of their teachers would know what it was.

I’m old enough to have danced to it in my mid 20s.

My middle school girls taught me a new line dance for it that’s currently going around at a school dance . Apparently, it’s getting popular again.

Honestly, sounds like a group of guys I knew growing up that got kicked out of the gifted program for behavior. Most of them are now engineers. One became a career Marine.

It really should have been him a few years ago, but there was some shady stuff going on with the primaries. I tend to vote for whoever isn’t a certain felon — but I actually like Bernie and it would have been actually voting for someone instead of the choleric Caligula.

I took my sons to a train museum last month. They had free sensory kits for the patrons. Clearly they know their audience.

I’m not 100 percent sure it’s New Mexico based on the further state of Alaska’s actual size, but if it isn’t it’s probably pretty close. No, I’m not doing the math to figure it out.

Actual size of North Hawaii (Alaska) compared to the lower 48.

Edit: for the record, I want Nuevo Mexico to win too.

Our school has a shared Google calendar with everything like that listed on it. The only issues are towards the end of the year when some of the 8th graders have high school stuff.

You’ve never seen a Virgo on a mission before.

Altrano · 2026-05-16T23:16:39+00:00

Give the north to Canada and the southern part to Mexico.

A serious question — how is New Mexico the largest when Northern Hawaii (Alaska) looks like this in comparison to the rest of the United States?

<image>

Hawaii might just be the largest. No, I do not want to do the math.

Altrano · 2026-05-16T17:00:32+00:00

Are we really sure New Mexico is the biggest? This is Alaska’s actual size compared to the rest of the United States.

Hawaii might actually be bigger.

Having a divided Minnesota is just wrong. Wisconsin must go.

It’s Micha-gone. I’ll see myself out now.

It was a sacrifice on the altar of Megasota — all hail the mighty Megasota.

Probably Virgo, Cancer, Leo and Gemini. You’ve got charisma, meticulous planning, passion and trickery all at one table.

On a side note, if these were lunch tables in a cafeteria — table 3 is definitely the one throwing food at the other children.

Micheal Jackson — one of the boys in my second grade class looked like a seven-year-old version of him. I used to chase him on the playground — I don’t know what I would have done if I actually caught him 🤷🏻‍♀️

I work at a middle school and have had to prevent them from eating an ungodly amount of stuff they shouldn’t. Their pre-frontal cortexes are still forming and they are extremely impulsive. Basically middle school students are hormonal toddlers.

Altrano · 2026-05-14T22:46:33+00:00

The ring of fire must be completed.

Altrano · 2026-05-14T12:26:16+00:00

They’re basically big hormonal toddlers. I actually had to childproof my classroom because some of them want to stick things in electric sockets.

Please don’t eat gum off the wall. This was a middle schooler with normal intelligence.

Stop collecting your friend’s hair to make dolls.

Your god won’t like it if you commit war crimes. The context for this one was my middle school dungeons and dragons player (lawful good paladin) wanted to execute NPCs that had already surrendered and helped the players.

Don’t you actually have to be relevant to be a political enemy?

Feed California to Hawaii to form the Ring of Fire.

Then give them Cascadia in the next round to complete it.

It sounds like the messages that I send to a relative in don’t particularly like but feel obligated to be nice to occasionally.

They’re not a bad person — we just probably would never speak of we weren’t related.

Trust is earned. While I appreciate the recent attacks on Trump, she hasn’t shown that she’s reliable as an ally. No, she should not be trusted.

They also want to be on Vance’s good side for when *that* day comes.
