What Teachers and Staff Say vs. What They Mean
The Top Ten
1 “We’re sorry to hear you’re being treated poorly. We will speak to them.” - “We don’t care.”
A very accurate list.
2 “Hold on to it for now.” - “Get that mess out of my sight!”
3 “What? No way! I don’t pick favourites. I respect you all for who you are.” - “I hate you all equally, now stop asking!”
At least we're being treated equally...
4 “I will have your assignments marked tomorrow.” - “For the last time, I’m not marking that trash, so do not ask again!”
5 “Overall, you guys did okay on your test, but for some of you, I recommend to come see me for extra help.” - “You all failed. Get out!”
6 “You’re my favourite student.” - “You’re my least annoying student... but you’re still annoying, so that says nothing.”
7 “Go get a late slip please.” - “Detention, now!”
8 “How was your weekend?” - “Aren’t you gonna ask me how my weekend was?”
This is more of a normal people thing and not student-teacher
My teachers don't even ask me this.
9 “You’re not in trouble, but we still need to talk.” - “You’re about to get suspended if you don’t tell me the truth.”
10 “I was an angel to my teachers when I was your age.” - “Pfft! It’s only cool when I did what you do now.”
The Contenders
11 "Don't worry. You're not in trouble" - "You're in trouble!!!"
They'll always say this so that we'll expose ourselves. And it's always annoying and I always say no.
