Middle schoolers are way more fun virtually. Things that are annoying (or worse, disruptive) in person take on a certain whimsy online.
Friday. I was covering a special ed middle school English class. Out of nowhere, a student turned on his microphone and announced, "I pooped my pants!"
Me: "Thank you for sharing???"
Then he turned his microphone back on to apologize. Apparently little sister took control of his computer to...? Perhaps she was trying to embarrass him.
Mission accomplished.
Some family is going to be short one little daughter, I suspect. As an only child (and a mother of an only child)...so happy I was an only child. I can see why you are a teacher and I am not. I probably would have lost it, laughing, but I actually feel for all the families stuck at home with little children finding new ways to torment their older siblings.
ReplyDeleteI was more perplexed than anything. Then when he said sister, it made sense.
Deletehahahahahah.
ReplyDelete~snicker~
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I would have laughed!
ReplyDeleteHaha. Little sisters, eh?
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...hahahaaa. Little sister got him good as they say.
ReplyDeleteShe sure did. this will be a longstanding memory.
ReplyDeleteOH my....
ReplyDeleteEmbarrassing Zoom moments....did you hear about the lawyer who had to tell the judge "I am not a cat"?
Oh yes. At least that was a him problem and not a family member problem.
DeleteShe was 100% trying to embarrass him. Source: self, a little sister.
ReplyDeleteOh well, by the time he gets to see his classmates face-to-face again, they will probably have forgotten...
ReplyDeleteLOL......too funny.
ReplyDeleteWe do live either interesting or strange time.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Someone is probably already writing a book on memorable Zoom moments.
ReplyDeleteI would not be surprised.

Ah, little sisters.
ReplyDeleteI bet that sometime down the road, he will get even.
Oh, ha ha ha ha! So funny, but yeah, mortifying for that student. Love your substitute teacher stories, Liz!
