Some School Jokes

Our teacher talks to herself does yours ?
Yes, but she does't realise it, she thinks we're actually listening !

Teacher: Why didn't you answer me ?
Pupil: I did, I shook my head
Teacher: You don't expect me to hear it rattling from here do you !

Teacher: I'd like to go through one whole day without having to tell you off.
Pupil: You have my permission !

Teacher: Will you stop looking at the clock at the wall and pay attention
Time will pass, but will you !

I didn't do my homework because I lost my memory
When did this start ?
When did what start !

The brain is a wonderful thing
Why do you say that ?
Because it starts working the second you get up in the morning and never stops until you get asked a question in class !

When I was you age I thought nothing of walking 5 miles to school
I agree, I don't think much of it myself !

Be sure that you go straight home
I can't, I live just round the corner !

Playing truant from school is like a credit card
Fun now, pay later !

Laugh and the class laughs with you.
But you get detention alone !
