Perhaps there is no place in this world where different generations collide with each other in numerous - and sometimes fruitless - attempts to get along... so, there is no place like school. Teachers complain about students who don’t care, and schoolchildren also do not remain in debt.

We took the idea for this collection of unexpected, ambiguous and sometimes downright embarrassing schoolers' remarks from this video of a school teacher, where she lists various phrases from her 8th graders that made her feel awkward and sometimes laugh. We've added examples from other teachers' videos - so check out this list of school wit from Bored Panda!

Let's start with the fact that kids and teenagers, in principle, sometimes cannot understand how caustic or funny their phrases addressed to adults actually sound. And why do these strange adults, upon hearing something completely harmless (at first glance), blush, giggle stupidly, or even lose the very ability to speak? Well, it was not for nothing that the ancients said that the truth speaks through the mouth of a baby...

“I’m Somebody’s Grandma Now”: 32 Situations That Left School Teachers Stumped Right In The Classroom We were talking about tobacco advertisements and tactics that the tobacco companies use to draw teens in, or even young adults. And I took a shot in the dark and I said, "Hey, who's this celebrity?" Their response was ice spice. So, welcome to eighth grade health where Lucille Ball is ice spice.

'Birth Control' is the term most associated with women in the minds of Southern Politicians since the term 'Chattel' was removed from the majority of State Constitutions.

Secondly, a school is almost always an organization that is responsible, in addition to the actual acquisition of knowledge by children, also for their socialization. But if previously the socialization took place mainly in communication with peers, today a significant part of this process is taken over by Internet services (who said: “TikTok”?).

As a result, the average teen often receives a rather superficial understanding of this or that fact - and may misuse this knowledge when communicating with the teacher. And then, after numerous facepalms, teachers share these dialogues online (who said “TikTok”?). Well, the circle is closed...

An instance of where "like" makes even less sense than usual, and actually changes the meaning of the sentence. STOP IT PLEASE!

“In fact, each of us, any teacher with sufficiently extensive experience, has a similar selection of unexpected dialogues with students of different ages,” says Volodymyr Nemertsalov, a school principal and teacher from Ukraine, whom Bored Panda asked for a comment here. “At the end of the day, we all understand where we are going when we choose to become teachers. And the feeling of awkwardness from some of the students’ remarks is actually part of our job.”

“By the way, as far as I know, some of my colleagues even published collections of similar quotes collected over years and decades of teaching work. After all, pedagogy is a serious thing, no one argues - but you should always give a chance to a piece of humor here.”

So, ‘core’ (as in single core when used in this posts context) is a word that can be slapped onto the end of any other word to make it a clothing style/aesthetic. For example, weirdcore, kidcore, anglecore, and grungecore. It’s the way people act and dress. So in this post, singlecore would be saying the teacher dressed and acted like someone who’s single :)

“I’m Somebody’s Grandma Now”: 32 Situations That Left School Teachers Stumped Right In The Classroom There's my outfit. Why'd a kid go and tell me that my sneakers look like Nintendo Switch? And then took it a step further and was like, "And you don't even match. Red and blue doesn't go with gray and black."

I thought my outfit was cute. I was a little bit shocked. So I say to her, I'm like, "Who do you think you are talking to? Pipe down." You know what her response was? She gonna say, "Who do you think you are to have a girlfriend who looks better than you?" You just gotta laugh at these kids.
