#34: Oh, That Was A Joke?
It can be easy for a teacher to overestimate how much their students know. Sometimes, they forget that their young charges don’t have an adult’s life experience and worldly knowledge. Then, it’s understandable that sometimes a joke can be taken as truth. Something that seems so obvious to an adult is frequently confusing for teenagers.
This teacher had no clue that an innocent joke would be taken so seriously. Something that seemed so apparent to him was all new and exciting to his students. Hopefully, his sense of humor carried over toward the final grades, too, and he could be understanding about all their incorrect answers!
