24 Brilliant Roasts Teachers Received From Their Students, As Shared By Teachers Online
What do you think they teach in high school? Academic subjects, of course. Soft skills - definitely. And in high school, people also learn to joke. Yes, to hone a brilliant wit that reaches its peak in college, and in the meantime, school looks like a training ground for witticisms.
In fact, nowhere is the humor as ruthless as it is in high school. Not always impeccably witty, not always graceful and stylish - but teenagers cannot refuse the opportunity to roast each other. And often teachers become the victims of their jokes as well.
Jessica Kirkland, a Virginia teacher, once tweeted about her students' peculiar humor, and went viral with 551.3K likes and over 35.7K retweets. Almost immediately, hundreds of other teachers came to the thread and actively began to talk about how their own students roasted them.
Bored Panda collected for you a selection of the most witty, subtle and simply funny jokes from this thread, which also emphasize that teachers themselves have an excellent sense of irony, so as not to be offended, but to tell others.

I had a student who could do the best imitations of teachers and he did them in class, too. So I asked him if he knew how to imitate me, and he said he couldn’t. I called him out on it, and then he gave such a brilliant show I just lost it laughing. Plus, I now know my little quirks ;)

It depends on how old the kid was. Third grade... eh kinda pushing it, but I'd understand. Anything higher and I would be contacting their parent.

I'd laugh, regardless of the age. I doubt a younger kid would even think of it
Load More Replies...In fact, humor plays an important role in the learning process, and this is primarily due to the transformation of the role of the teacher. If earlier, a few decades ago, the teacher was the main source of information for students, now they most often become just a moderator of the discussion in the class. Not a superior, but one of the participants in the learning process.

I had a terrible pre-school experience. One of my (2) teachers full on hated me with all her guts and will. One time she pretended to call the police in front of me only because she saw me with a paper that was on the teachers desk. (it fell and I was picking it up, mind you.)

My young ESL kids were trying to bother me by calling me "Spaghetti teacher" since my name starts with an S and ends with an 'ee' sound. I just shook my head, they can definitely do better once their English improves

Thirsty. Urban Dictionary defines thirsty as "too eager to get something; desperate." This desperation could be in reference to anything — compliments, validation, attention — but it is most frequently used to specifically mean desperate for sex.

Unless your student is 5, that's just rude. Anyone older than that should know better.
Greg Williams 3 years ago
You have to keep into account the student-teacher relationship they have, my 5th grade ela teacher I would always be super respectful to, but my 5th grade math teacher I'd roast him and he'd roast me right back. It's all about what kind of relationship they have and without context you can't make a judgement on it.

You should have said that it is because of them you chose to leave with a huge smile on your face.

YoChicken 3 years ago
I remember in middle school I would walk to school, and there was always one guy in my neighborhood who would wear shorts and a t shirt everyday, and he would RUN up the hill to our school. Like it was the height of winter, and it snows quite a bit where I live, my friends and I are bundled up and this guy, shorts and a t-shirt like every day, is SPRINTING up the sidewalk.

Apparently, coolness varies with the country. I live in northern Italy, and I often found myself wondering how can healthy and strong HS kids wear hoodie, coat, scarf, heavy boots when it's 15°C outside and I am going to my office in a light cotton suit over a light shirt wore on bare skin and loafers.

No less important is the presence of a sense of irony for the teacher. Indeed, firstly, a person must remember that they themselves were about the same as a teenager, and secondly, they must not be offended by not always successful and sometimes even offensive jokes, but simply laugh with the students.

Do you know what's even sadder? Many of the kids who make cracks like this and the ones that laugh uproariously at something like a person eating an apple will look back at this moment as one the highlights of their life. Twenty years later: "Remember that time when Mr A was eating an apple?!"... Uproarious laughter. "Like he's a person or some s**t."

yeah, no. i can't imagine ever being that disrespectful to a teacher for shits & giggles. most of these seem to be from the US, where teachers are horrifically underpaid & overworked. treat them with kindness, they're literally making sacrifices for your benefit. don't be a brat, stop making their jobs harder than they already are. these kids are all old enough to know better, except for the ones in first grade (7yo) & below.

Three come to mind immediately. First, the time I came back from maternity leave and one of my students asked when I was going to have my baby. I was 40 lbs lighter but my tummy was not all gone yet. Second, when I used to wear makeup to work-"We know when you've had enough of our nonsense when you've rubbed all of your makeup off. Third, a few days ago at an assembly the counselor said, "The longer a teacher has been teaching the more of this they've seen. So old teachers have seen it all." And about half of my class turned around and looked at me. One smart kid said, "You don't look old at all. I don't believe your a grandma." (They all will behave to earn seeing pictures of my grandkids 5 minutes before the end of the day.)
