The one that still cracks me up, my second year of teaching 8th grade I had a girl say to me, in all seriousness, "Why do you use long words?"

Drifter Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Antidisestablishmentarianism? Maybe she suffered from Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia? Edited January 31, 2011 by Drifter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Yeah, those were them, Drifter. But I've no idea of the specific word(s), Ly. She was speaking to my vocabulary in general, in fact another student a year or so later said, "Why do you use words we don't understand?" I do curb my vocabulary sometimes for my students (they're middle-schoolers after all), but it's rare and I always explain the meaning of the word to them if they don't understand. And if I can't think of a suitable synonym or definition they'd understand I have them look it up in the dictionary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycaon Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I'm still amused by a class I had where we read Romeo and Juliet. We split up into groups, and I had explain what a maidenhead was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
