Student Story #2 for the year

If you have a daughter or grand-daughter who watches Dora.... you may enjoy this!!

I have a student who everyday asks to borrow a pencil. And typically, I say: Yes, as long as I get it back. And I do. But the key is they have to ask. If they just take a pencil without asking, then I have a problem like that.

So today, as were were preparing for our quiz, this particular student approached my desk, he reached for a pencil, (not asking first) I stopped him dead in his tracks. This is what I said:


Swiper No Swiping! Swiper no Swiping!! SWIPER NO SWIPING!!!

So at that point, I informed him since I said SWIPER NO SWIPING, he couldn't take my pencil. He didn't get it. About half a dozen girls did though..... they thought it was hilarious.

I told him he had to snap his fingers and say "Awwww Man" because I told him No Swiping 3 times before he grabbed the pencil.

He looked so confused as he walked away from my desk looking for a pencil.

HAM WINS!!

Student Story #1 for the year

So, I have this student. Let's call him A.M.....(because that's his name)
So long story short...... I was playing a Jay-Z & John Legend song in class. "Do You Wanna Ride" from the Kingdom Come album. So anyways, the artwork pulls up, and it basically has a picture of Jay-Z.

A.M. looks at my computer and sees the pic of Jay and says the following:

A.M.: Hey, Mr. Ham... don't you just love his lips?
Me: What?
A.M.: His lips.....you know...they are big. They're awesome!
Me: Dude, did you really just say that to me?
A.M.: Yes, you can't tell me when you see his lips, you just wanna bite them off! They look delicious!!
Me: Look, Imma need you to step away from my desk.
A.M.: No homo Mr. Ham.....No Homo.
Me: No comment. Just because you say it....doesn't change what you just said. Real Talk.
