Teachers Share the Dumbest Things Their Students Have Ever Done

A lot of school kids are gearing up to take their state tests pretty soon. This means there will be a lot of stressed-out teachers and parents. So, just for fun, let’s check out a Reddit that asked teachers, “What is the funniest / dumbest thing a student has ever said or done?”

Here are some of the best responses:

1. A teacher was explaining how dangerous UV rays are in sunlight and a student asked, “If the sun is so dangerous, why did we build it?”

2. A student said that having a baby boy or girl was determined by whether or not they had an innie or outie belly button.

3. A teacher asked what year it was and she heard, “2008, 2012, 1985, and 2020.” Then a student asked if she could look it up on her phone.”

4. A professor called out a student for turning in a paper she hadn’t written. So, the student emailed the professor and CC’d the dean . . . and said it was hers because she paid her “own money” to have it written.

5. A student found his teacher’s master’s thesis and then tried to turn parts of it back in to him verbatim.

6. A boy in high school thought the penis was the end of the intestines.

7. A teacher was going over World War Two, when a girl raised her hand and asked completely serious, “Wait, England isn’t a state in the U.S.?”
