My 7th and 8th graders thought it was hilarious!!!!” “Teaching choir, I was ready to work with the sopranos on a particularly high part of the song.īefore I even realized what I was saying, I said, ‘OK sopranos, are you ready to get high?’ I … was … mortified. “The first year I taught first grade (1986) and asked, “Does anyone know any F words?” when we were learning about beginning sounds. “I tried to say ‘fuss’ and ‘ruckus’ but it came out FUC*US.” I still can’t use either word without suffering from PTSD.” Truly Unfortunate Slips of the Tongue “When I told my 16-year-old class that the pilot in Lord of the Flies ejaculated out of the plane (instead of ejected).
