let's have fun with education !

ANYTHING
A student comes to a young professor's office hours. 
She glances down the hall, closes his door, and kneels pleadingly.
"I would do anything to pass this exam," she says.
She leans closer to him, flips back her hair, and gazes meaningfully into his eyes.
"I mean," she whispers, "I would do anything..."
He returns her gaze, "Anything?"
"Anything."
His voice softens, "Anything?"
"Anything," she repeats again. 
His voice turns to a whisper. 
"Would you ... study?"


H2O
TEACHER: What is the chemical formula for water?
SARAH: "HIJKLMNO"!
TEACHER: What are you talking about?
SARAH: Yesterday you said its H to O!



SECOND LANGUAGE OR THIRD LANGUANGE
A mother mouse and a baby mouse were walking along, when all of a sudden, a cat attacked them. 
The mother mouse goes, "BARK!" and the cat runs away.
"See?" says the mother mouse to her baby. 

"Now do you see why it's important to learn a foreign language?"


GEOGRAPHY
Teacher: Class, who can go to the board and show us the map of the North America?
George: Yes, ma'am.
Teacher: Okay George.
George: Here is the map of North America.
Teacher: Class, who discovered North America?
Class: George!



CAN'T AND DON'T
“Tell me,” the teacher asked her students, 
“Do you know what the word ‘can’t’ is short for?” 
“Yes,” said little Lucy. 
“It’s short for 'cannot'."
“Very good. And what about ‘don’t’?”
Little Matt’s hand shot up. 

“That,” he said with authority, “is short for 'doughnut'.”
