Overheard
Girl on the PA making morning announcements: “Good luck to the cross country team as they take on arch rival Reidsville High school today.”
Student in my class: “Is that really the name of the school?”
Another student in my class: “Yeah, Reidsville. Like the town?”
Student in my class: “Oh. I thought they said the name of the school was ‘Arch Rival’.”
*I’m making this a regular post. Otherwise I’ll forget about these gems, and they really need to be shared.

Did you laugh at that student to his face?
It was a girl, and no, because her classmates were already laughing at her. Besides, I was just eavesdropping.
It is SO hard not to laugh sometimes. Today, I swear the kid doing the announcements said, “I pledge allegiance to the flag for Richard Stands…” and HE’S READING IT. It’s not like he’s working of memory here.
