Since I've been teaching

Since I have been teaching:

In World HISTORY class
Student: "Mrs. Hovis, what kind of teacher are you?"
Me: "I'm not understanding your question."
Student: "Like, what kind of teacher are you? Like...English?"
Me: "Umm. Well. What class is this? World History...I'm a History teacher."


Student: "What's your name?"
Me: "Mrs. Hovis."
Student: "Like Ho?"
Me: "No, like Hovis."
Student: "Yeah, yeah, like Ho."


Class was doing an assignment where they looked up information on the WRAL website.
Student: "Mrs. Hovis?"
Me: "Yes?"
Student: "How do you spell WRAL?"
Me: "W....R...A...L"


First day of class I tell the students about myself. Show them pictures of my family, Eric, etc.
After showing them a picture of Eric and myself, one of my Hispanic student yells out:
Student: "Mrs Hovis! You married a Latino!!"


Since I have been pregnant:

I was at David's Bridal picking up a bridesmaids dress. I was asked if I was there for a prom dress.


Male Student: Looks at me then decides to say, "Why are you pregnant?"
What I wanted to say: "Maybe you should talk to your mom..."
What I actually said, " Because I want a baby."
Same student on another day, "Mrs. Hovis, you are going to get fat."
Me: "Yup. Probably."


Male Student: "Mrs. Hovis! What's up with your outfit?"
Me: "What do you mean? What's wrong with it?"
He stares at me for a few seconds. "What's up with your stomach?!"
Me: "I'm pregnant, did you not know?"
Student: "NO! You just killed my dreams!"
As if him being 16 and me being married wasn't already a dream killer?!


Same student (from above conversation) on another day: Stares at me and shakes his head.
Me: "Why are you so shocked I am pregnant?"
Student: "Because! I thought you was a nice woman. I didn't think you be doing all that"
Me: "I am MARRIED!! Go away."


Female students constantly look at me, say AWWW, and then walk away. Sometimes they even touch my belly.


Teaching is very entertaining if you are wondering...sometimes there is just no filter.
