I go to a school for gifted kids. You may have noticed smart people tend to be someone 'neurodiverse,' so it's a very interesting place; also, being in Canada (where our awesome immigration policy is basically 'give us your rich, your easily employable, your degree-holders and intellectual elite') the school is about 1/4 South Asian, 1/4 East Asian, 1/2 Caucasian. These are quotes.
"Dead babies weigh the same as live babies" - Physics Teacher.
"Tell him what he's won, Sean."
"You won this fantastic new refrigerator!"
"You can use it to do men's laundry!"
"..."
"What?"
"It's a refrigerator."
"****." - Presentation on Death of a Salesman
"Well, this isn't going to work." *clap-clap clapclap CLAP*
*Dead silence*
"HOLY ****!" - English Teacher.
(I think I posted this one elsewhere, but
"I'm bored, someone raise a controversial subject."
"So, Sean, what do you think of euthanasia?"
"I think they should get the same education as the rest of us." - Conversation in English Class.
"Right, so, I'm done teaching now. You can all go home half an hour early." - Math Teacher like three times. Unfortunately I take the bus and have to hang around.
"Well I kept my maiden name because my husbands last name is Miiller, I think it was Müller but someone spelled it wrong. Anyway, there's already a Mrs. Miller here and it would have been confusing to be the Mrs. Miiller with two i's."
"You should change it and get an eyepatch, then you can be the Mrs. Miiller with two i's with one eye." - Paraphrased conversation between some teacher and my Physics teacher, who incidentally did get an eyepatch later when one of her eyes stopped working for no good reason.
"Whoa, what's with that weird design on your shirt."
"Hey man, don't be gettin' all up on him just 'cause you can't afford designs on your shirts." - Conversation between two brown kids.
I wish I could remember more of these. Someone was writing them down a while ago, I should ask. I think some might end up in the yearbook.
