I didn't teach him that....

We were studying Athenian democracy in social studies the other day. The book made the following statement: "Only free men could vote in an Athenian democracy."

"What does that mean, 'Only free men could vote'?" I asked the class.

Michael raised his hand. "Does that mean that married men weren't allowed to vote?"

Sometimes, students can say the funniest things. I've noticed that often times they're totally serious, and don't see the hilarity in what they just said...

It seems that every year I get a "Joey" in my class. Scratch that; I can't tell you just how much I love working with these kids.
