Five Reasons I Love 7B

I’m not going to lie. I have a favourite class. I know I shouldn’t. But I do. I can’t help it.
Here are some excerpts from class this week. See for yourself.

M: Has anyone ever been to London?
Student N: In my dreams
(He said this in English.  )

M: *writes ‘I’m in a hurry’ on the blackboard* What does this say?
Student O: I’m Hungry!
(This was especially funny because it was the lesson before lunch.)

M: *explains possessive and object pronouns at length* Does everyone understand?
Student O: We learned this in 5th form. Of course we do.

(Well. That will teach me to over-simplify.)

M: Did you do the homework?
Student E: No. I was lazy.
(Give him credit for being honest).

Student N: *writes the vocabulary for the day on the board*
M: Very good. Everything is correct.
Students E and N: Teacher there are four different spelling mistakes in the words.
M: *genuinely confused* Where? Come to the blackboard and show me.
(Clearly I need to re-learn the ‘i before e except after c’ rule. Oops.)
