31 Times the Class Clown Made the Teacher Laugh

Sometimes, the hardest part of being a teacher is not losing your shit when your kids inadvertently do something hilarious. Just ask one Redditor, who found themselves hit with a bad case of the giggles after a disruptive student of theirs effed around and found out while heading to the principal’s office. 

“As he’s walking to the door, he’s mugging for the class: ‘See you later, losers!’ Exaggerated, swaggering walk, turning to make a face at the class as he goes... and walks clear into the half-open door,” they recalled, noting it was the only time this wannabe class clown made everyone laugh. “I had to turn around and face the board so they wouldn’t see me laughing too.” 

That’s not the only teacher who had to stifle their laughter either. Other Redditors have remembered the times a student’s stunts got the best of them, including one kid who got injured and decided to prepare for war as a result.

nickadams33 7y ago I was teaching seventh grade boys reproductive health. In the video they watch, there is a drawing of an erect penis. I've watched the movie several times before and every time, the boys shut up and there is an uncomfortable silence. This particular time, when the drawing comes up on the screen, a boy lets out a huge fart. Usually in class when that happens, everyone chuckles and we move on. But this time, no one says a word. They were too fixated on the erect penis they didn't even hear the fart. I couldn't help it
leftermens 7y ago | teach elementary school and just this week during PE one of my students fell and scraped his knee. I told him to go the bathroom and clean it off. (it wasn't too bad, no nurse needed.) Не comes back a little while later with what he called war paint on his face. Не had smeared his blood in his face in a warpaint fashion. I laughed and told him he now needed to go to the nurse to get that cleaned off his face. You could see the devastation in his face. 406 Award Share ...
flyting1881 7y ago I had an 8th grader who clearly thought of himself as a class clown, only without the part where other students find him funny. Think 'Richie' in It. Inappropriate jokes, making faces at people, just generally trying way too hard to get a laugh out of people and not usually succeeding. One day he gets pulled out of my class by the principal for some behavior issue, and as he's walking to the door he's mugging for the class. See you later, losers! Exggerated swaggering walk, turning to make a face at the class as he goes...

One day he was looking in my classroom window while | was teaching a different class and someone very quietly in the back of the room makes the tshtshtsh ah ah ah. I cracked up. Couldn't help it. But it
heyitsaverage 7y ago In college I was student teaching. Always the only male in my classes. I got assigned to work in my friends mother's classroom. She has an amazing sense of humor. There was a preschooler who went to the bathroom and peed a little on his pants. She pulled him aside and asked what happened. Не yelled I DIDNT DO IT MY PENIS DID IT.

notreallyme3733 7y ago | teach English to kids in China. One kid I had was trying to practice saying boy/girl. Не looked at me and said you...you are.... you are a boy! Before I could even respond, his mother starts frantically yelling in the background  GIRL, GIRL SHES A GIRL he then saidI'm sorry teacher, you are a girl! Took everything in me not to laugh. I have a ton of other stories (such as the kid who, for the life of him, could not pronounce the name frank and was unknowingly saying the F word instead) but that one always

NurseNikNak 7y ago Does a story my son's former preschool teacher told me about my son count? If so, here goes. I was dropping him off and his preschool teacher pulls me aside. We were going over the letter D yesterday and I asked if anyone knew any words that started with D. Do you know what  said? I started wracking my brain for anything inappropriate that starts with D, but nothing would prepare me for what she said. Не went 'dildo! It has two D's!' I wanted to die right there but his teacher was cracking up.
Penya23 7y ago A student of mine (high school senior) was being incredibly obnoxious and ignorant towards another student in class. I told him to basically sit down and shut up or else go to the headmaster's office. When he went to sit down the chair broke and he went down like a sack of bricks. All I remember is 2 feet flailing around in the air. It took me a good 10 minutes to stop laughing. 2.4K Award Share ...
Ihadacow 7y ago I normally teach high school but in my first year I taught grade 8's. I had them introduce themselves and tell me their favorite animal.

estrogyn 7y ago Years ago when I taught first grade, | had a little boy with high functioning autism in my class. Не was an absolutely amazing kid (and is now an absolutely amazing adult), but when he got pissed off, he would fire people. Picture this little tiny tousled, blond haired kid with thick glasses and a bit of a lisp standing there in front of an adult and saying, That's it, I've had enough. You're fired! In the time I knew him he fired me (multiple times), the principal, his mom, his dad, the janitor, the lunch lady,

dancemagicdance91 7y ago Not a teacher, but a witness to this. I was an awful student and constantly back chatted the teachers, one day my science teacher had had enough of me so walked me to the head teachers office, I was walking in a huff with my arms folded when we got to four steps, I took one step and fell flat on my smug face, she asked me if I was ok while trying not to laugh, | said yerrrr I'm fine, spent the rest of the walk trying not to acknowledge the muffled laughter and shoulders rising
Fordy0401 7y ago P.E teacher here. Playing a game of rugby someone does a clearance kick so high and so deep into the oppositions half. Little guy is running back to get it but loses sight of the ball as it's so high but keeps on running. The ball lands about 10 feet away from him and (because of the shape of a rugby ball) bounces straight into his head and takes him tight out. Не was fine. The fact he had no idea where it was and the perfection of the bounce was pretty funny. 430 Award Share ...

earbudsoutforasecond 7y ago Teaching 8th grade US history and on curriculum showcase night, students are giving speeches about significant politicians. This super innocent, sweet girl gets up to talk about Shirley Chisholm but has somehow decided to pronounce the ch as a hard j-ch sound. Hardest time I ever had not laughing. There were grown-ass dads in the audience who had tears of laughter running down their faces. Tried my best to pronounce it carefully and clearly the next day in class, but I'm pretty sure it was lost on all the girls in the class. The boys just sat

dadjokes4u 7y ago | had a student trying desperately to spell the word deck. The problem was this student kept sounding out the e as being an i. When I tried helping him really sound out the medial vowel, he REALLY just kept thinking it was an i. So he started LOUDLY spelling deck as d-i-c-k over and over again. I just couldn't contain myself because he kept insisting on it. My door was open and I was very concerned administration would walk by and wonder what exactly I was teaching! 139 Award Share ...

NuklearAngel 7y ago My year 5 (9-10 years old) class had a Space Day event last year to get the kids excited about science. At one point the astronauts presenting it brought out a box and told the kids they had a real alien frozen inside it. One particularly loud and disruptive kid shouts out Is it Donald Trump?, which got a few of the adults to smile, but mainly got him a warning to calm down and stop shouting out. The astronauts then opened the box to show the kids the alien and - surprise surprise - the box was empty. As soon
brendenderp 7y ago Well I'm not the teacher but on 9/11 our school board decided to put jenga games in every class for 3rd period. The idea of it was that every jenga peice had a number on it which corresponded to a question we had to answer on piece of paper. This was great for getting to know all the new people we would spend the year with. However the teacher (who is a 50 year old man) started laughing for about 10 minutes straight when someone asked him why we were playing JENGA ON 9/11. 92 Award Share
LiveLaughLove2680 7y ago I teach middle school and I have a calming chair where students are allowed to chill and sit for a few minutes if they are having a bad day or are stressed out. During class, a student (who is ridiculous) asked to go to his locker to get his colored pencils. I told him no (locker policy) and suggested that he borrow another students' pencils. Не began begging to go and I didn't budge. Не gets up, walks over to the calming chair and begins to fake cry while saying in between fake sobs she won't let
