The ongoing global pandemic has touched and changed almost every part of our everyday lives with the education system being one of the things that have been disrupted the most. Being forced to suddenly switch to online schooling have brought quite a bit of new challenges to students as well as teachers all around the globe. And even though modern technology provides us with all the means for successful remote work, we are humans and things don't always go that smoothly for us.
It's not a secret that for many students, staying concentrated becomes a much harder task when a class is being held online. Which apparently, can inspire students to come up with extremely random and hilarious questions. With that being said, Bored Panda invites you to look through a list of tweets in which people share some of the most random, funny and wholesome things students have asked their teachers during online classes. As always, don't forget to vote for your favorite ones and if you're a teacher yourself, make sure to share the best questions you've received down in the comment section.

Zoom Meeting: *very mature and boring conversation full of doctor jargon* Participant: wait, stop. Zoom Meeting: *Everyone quiets, worried* Participant: "So.... your cat....? We haven't seen her." Zoom Meeting: *starts excitedly chattering happily about cats* Cat: *Makes sultry appearance. Saunters up, pauses to meow "Hello, boys" (and girls-the original quote doesn't say girls) , rubs body against screen, stands backwards so everyone sees its butt, and just stands there meowing at her owner.* Participant: YES! KITTY CAT! Zoom Meeting: *everyone cheers and claps* Cat: sits on keyboard and shuts meeting down Zoom Meeting, to black screen: worth it.

From now on just take 15 minutes from pets at the beginning of the class, so they don't get anxious for the end. Show each other all animals and teddy bears and then move on from there.

I hate SeeSaw. It’s a program my kids need to use for their “asynchronous learning” and it is not intuitive for children. “Asynchronous learning” is code for “you’re on your own, kid; hope your parents don’t need to work during work hours.” I’m not saying my kids should be in school during a pandemic; I’m saying everything sucks for everyone right now.

Lindsey Judd-Bruder 4 years ago
No. Guys, no. KFC's chicken is breaded and fried in-house, at every restaurant. It's called Kentucky Fried Chicken, because Harland Sanders, AKA the Colonial, created and perfected his 'secret recipe' (you know, the 11 herbs and spices?) while operating his first restaurant, a small cafe he opened in a gas station, in Corbin, Kentucky. Answering this for those who may be unfamiliar, or perhaps from a different part of the world. In the case that the comments below were all written in sarcasm (pretty sure Henry's was, not certain about Mary's), I'll go ahead and r/whoooosh myself lol. Either way, there's some fun facts for ya lol.

I really enjoy when students ask questions about grammar we have not yet covered (like reflexive pronouns) and then the whole class is listening and taking notes. And I do enjoy seeing their pets and younger siblings, as long as the lesson is not disturbed.

My question is 'Why does S's have an apostrophe?' Apostrophes are for omission (when a letter is left out) or possession (belonging to someone/something), not plurals. And my living room is very messy, always was.

Sometimes people write it like that. Maybe "Ss" looks too confusing? Some people do that with numbers too. 5's, 10's, 20's, etc. Writing them like 5s, 10s, 20s, etc. probably isn't uncommon either. I don't know why but honestly I don't know if either one is incorrect.

My tried and true is put the rice in the pan, then cover whatever that level is with water until it is an inch higher than the rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until there are "holes" in the top of the rice and the water has all simmered out. Perfect sticky rice every time. Of course this is just for an amount for 1-4 people, not for a restaurant.

I think it also depends on the type of rice (long grain, white v brown, basmati, etc)
Your Cousin Vinny 4 years ago
I agree with Neb. One measure of rice to two measures of water (e.g. one cup rice, two cups water) into a pot. I use regular rice, not instant etc. and either rinse or soak the rice until the water is clear. I used this method almost every day last year and it turned out great. Vary some of the steps until you find YOUR best recipe. Bring to a boil then cover and reduce heat to lowest setting. Simmer like this for 20 minutes then remove pot and lid from heat. Wait about 20 to 30 minutes before removing lid and fluffing (stir up) rice (you will see holes in the rice). If too wet leave lid off and let it set until drier. When done, do not let rice sit out too long. Put in refrigerator or freezer. I know this post is about T and S but too many people have rice problems so I wanted to try and help.
Load More Replies... Your Cousin Vinny 4 years ago
Some have suggested to just buy a Rice Cooker. BUT, 1. If you don’t eat rice very often, buying a cooker may not be justified. 2. Some people just don’t have the financial room to afford even a cheaper model. 3. And if you do have enough money, there may not be anymore space to park it. Countertops and Appliance Garages get full quickly and the cupboards may already be full.
Philly Bob Squires 4 years ago
Then do a cooking class! Teach! Everyone should know how to cook a basic meal, how to do taxes, how to pay bills, how to wash dishes, wash clothes, iron, shop for food... and the basics of how to turn off lights, lock doors and flush toilets!

Boil it like al dente noodles, then immediately dump all the water out, take it off the heat and put a lid on for five-ish minutes. Perfect every time.
