As a teacher, what was the biggest lie you heard a student say? 🤥🤔
I’ve been teaching for nearly 20 years, and my favorite lie still comes from when I was a brand-new teacher. A student showed up to class with his hand bandaged and a doctor’s note in hand. He claimed, “Last night, my computer blew up, and the shrapnel injured my hand, so I couldn’t finish the homework assignment that was due today.” I glanced at his hand, and the bandage was so loose it was barely hanging on. No competent doctor would have done such a sloppy job. It was clear he had tried to bandage it himself and struggled to do it one-handed. Then I examined the note. It was from a doctor’s office and read, “[Student’s name] has been seen for a ___ hand procedure.” The space between “a” and “hand” caught my attention. The word “minor” had been erased, but not well enough—I could still make it out if I squinted. I figured he probably had a wart removed or something minor earlier that morning. I didn’t need to point out the flaws in his story. I simply said, “I’m sorry to hear about your injury, but the assignment wasn’t due today. It was due two days ago—the day before your ‘accident.’” He quietly walked to his seat, looking like he was about to be sick.
