Teacher Joyce and Damien were discussing the merits of weekend rest…
Ms Joyce: ‘Damien, don’t you wish that we only had to come to school 4 days a week so we could get a 3 day weekend?
Damien: ‘How about we come to school on Saturdays and Sundays’?
Ms Joyce: ‘Oh No! Weekends are my rest days’
Damien: ‘Wait….. listen…. how about we come to school only on Saturdays and Sundays…. AND rest from Mondays to Fridays!
Ms Joyce: Damien, please study hard so you can become the next Prime Minister of Singapore and enforce this rule!

One of the questions on the worksheet was, “How do you know…….?”
He wrote his reply as “I know because I read the story.”

A student in my P2 English class was very fascinated about scientific facts. A topic which he liked to discuss was about ladies being pregnant and how the babies were doing in their tummies.

One day I asked him, “Darren, why do only ladies give birth and not men?”. He gave me a profound reply, “Because that is the law of mother nature.”

But he did not stop there…… he continued “But if there was Father Nature, then men also can give birth!!”

It was Social Skills lesson. Teacher presented a problem on the board and invited pupils to think of HELPFUL and UNHELPFUL thoughts. Pupils wrote on cards and posted them on the board. Sean offered to help sort out the cards on the board while the teacher was giving further instructions to the class. Not wanting the rest of the pupils to be distracted by Sean, teacher tried sending him back to his seat but Sean was absolutely insistent on helping.
In exasperation, teacher said, “Sean, are you or am I the teacher?”
Sean replied, “I’m the student who wants to help the teacher!!!!!”
