Funny memories of school days

 We grow so often. Many things that has happened in our childhood that we considered gruesome were actually interesting. It was our naive nature that stopped us realize that the same thing would make us reminiscent in our adulthood. And every bits of it. Here i unfold some of the many nostalgic school memories. The memories of teachers whom we loved and hated so much hand in hand.

5 funny things your teacher has said to you.

    1.This is the worst class/section. If he's further infuriated, he would go on to say that your class is the worst one he has ever taught in his entire career. But he says this to every class he goes. And students know this. So students don't take it to the level of hurting their sentiment and self esteem. 

    2.When you don't forget to have breakfast how could you forget to write homework? I am sure all of us have heard this cliched rhetorical question from teacher. Common!  do some logical comedy at least. I do not see any logic here. Food and shelter are basic human needs. It's a everyday ritual one has to do even if he's not up to. But is writing homework a basic human need failing in which we risk survival? No!

    3.If you are bad i am worst.  Actually,I feel them. Qualified man teaching stupid kids who neither appreciate teacher's effort nor take them seriously. So teacher getting annoyed is a usual thing to witness. And then this phrase ensues smack on the arse.

    4.If you make too much noise in the class, he would start with "you think you are in fish market?". I understand there is hustle and bustle at the fish market but wouldn't it be same at vegetable market or a toy market?. It could be even worse. Teachers in the staff room make no less noise.

    5.Teachers would say that they have set extremely difficult questions for the year unlike in the past. Hardly few are cruel enough to mark their word. Most do this to scare the students. 


What students cherish but pretend to be sad at;

    1. Maths teacher absent. NO, that is way too much to expect from him. He has a complete calculation of number of instructional hours allocated for mathematics and he knows what being absent for a day would cost. But we were a bunch of positive minds. Even if hes late for few minutes it wouldn't make us less happy.

    2.Teacher deviating from the lesson and sharing about their personal experiences. And we would ask them questions about it to prolong his talk so that no time is left for the lesson.

    3.Staff meeting in the middle of the session. 

    4.Prolonged morning assembly. So that it encroaches the first period. We used to go to the extent of motivating the morning speaker to give lengthy speeches. We least cared about the content of his speech though. First period is supposed to be the most productive for learning. But on the contrary, we hated it the most and least learning happened. It was just enough to recover from the hangover of the previous night's enjoyment, or movie. 

    5.Extra class and remedial class. Students may seem interested but deep inside they might be wishing something urgent come up. So that the teacher needed to leave. 

    6.Substitution teacher. When your fearful teacher is absent, you would dance out of happiness. But mostly this happiness used to short lived by principal sending substitute teacher who is even more ferocious. 

    7.Apprentice teacher to substitute your subject teacher. This is the most awaited moment. They are caring, least deadly, and friendly.





All said and done, i thank my teachers for all the beautiful memories.  They were rough but at least they cared.
