OLD MEN
Pop Quiz!, and Other Things Teachers Shouldn’t Say.
Throughout my years of schooling I have developed a list of terms that strike fear into students’ hearts all over the globe. The one most common is, Pop Quiz!. Now personally the feeling that comes to my mind when I hear this is a sharp pain as my head slams down on my desk. I know for a fact that I am not alone in this response. Therefore, the use of Pop Quiz! can result in causing both painful headaches, insanity, and possible loss of consciousness.
I remember a time that I was sitting in Mr. Jones’s math class. Everything about the day had been perfect until the utterance of the dreadful words, Pop Quiz. The entire atmosphere of the room changed. Eyes went wide, and sweat started dripping off of everyone’s forehead. Some even began to twitch! If you were to have walked past the window you would have thought that someone had turned up the thermostat up to 200 degrees in a “roasted nut house.” This would not look good if the one walking past the window happened to be the superintendent. After the quizzes were handed out heads began slamming to the desks at a rapid speed that sounded similar to a machine gun (this also wouldn’t go down too well with the school environment). One moment the room was filled with smiling children, and with the utterance to two words they are driven to insanity. Now you wonder where the high school students get it.
Before I give the next phrase I would advise all students and maybe even parents to stop reading because even reading this word may drive you to suicide. The word is… Homework. As I said before this word has caused students to deeply consider the thought of suicide. Going home and working until two hours before the next day of school isn’t exactly the best way to waste your life.
Some of the other phrases on my list include:
“Come see me during lunch.” (You now know, you will have to go without lunch today.)
“Come see me before school.” (Who wants to be at school earlier than you have to?)
“Come see me after school.” (This one should be obvious.)
“Time to take the final.”
“Alright we are going to be watching a two hour movie on snails. You are not to fall asleep because you will have to turn these movie notes in afterward.”
“I want to meet with your parents!” (This usually means you are in for a LOOOOONG summer.)
“Have a nice day. We’ll see you tomorrow!” (Does the movie “Groundhog Day” say anything?)
As you can see, there are many horrible phrases that have been used in the destroying of innocent minds throughout the course of history. Yet the madness still continues… POP QUIZ!!!.... Sorry.
