So, the students were doing an assignment today, and as I made my way around to correct them, I noticed that Jesse had written "farther" instead of "further." So I tried to correct him and the conversation went like this:Mrs. Young: "Jesse, you mean further, not farther."
Jesse: "What?"
Mrs. Young: "You wrote farther, but it should say further."
Jesse: "So, F-A-R-T-H-E-R??"
Mrs. Young: "No, F-U!"
(Jesse didn't even bat an eye!)

That's hilarious. I have a great story from my teaching days involving the word "sex" (something that fifth graders definitely know about). I'm too embarrassed to write it here... you'll have to ask me about it!
Thanks for the good chuckle. That's really funny.
Marissa-
It's Erika! I noticed you wrote me a long time back. EXCITING! I took a "blog hiatus," but I am back to blogging. It's a little screwed right now because somehow half my recent pics got deleted, but I am working on getting them back in there. Where are you living these days??? Thanks for writing me!
I always love a kid who can take a good F-U.
Love it!!!
Nice one! It made me think of the unfortunate time I unintentionally referred to male anatomy in front of 40 teenagers, I think you may have heard that one.
LOL...Your stories always make me laugh so hard.
Funny story M! Remond me to never misuse a word in your class!
Seriously, what a coincidence, we had this discussion on a bike rde last week. Can you tell us the correct usage for the words farther and further? None of us are completely sure we know!
That's too funny.
That's pretty harsh, Marissa.
