Teacher Said vs Student Heard

I recently caught this item by one EVERETT BRACKEN that hits close to home to me so I decided to share it with you:

Recently in class I explained, very thoroughly, an assignment that was due soon. About an hour after class I received a text from one of my students that said: “What are we supposed to do for that assignment?” I simply responded: “Please withdraw from my class.” (In my head I did, anyway.)

It got me thinking about how a simple statement spoken by the teacher can be taken in many ways. Here are a few that I thought of.


Someone needs to create some sort of technology that deciphers the teacher’s statements, balances it with realism and communicates it effectively to the students. You could also market this technology to husbands.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.~ John Lennon
