I try my best to be a serious teacher who the pupils respect and work hard for, but they make it so hard sometimes:
Pupil 1: Sir, why do you want to be a maths teacher?
Me: Because I want to share my enthusiasm for maths. (half ironically)
Pupil 1: But it's so boring!
Me: I can't be doing a very good job then!
Pupil 2 (speaking well within earshot but talking to someone else - slightly aggressively): No you're not!
My reaction was initially of shock at the bare faced cheek until I realised what had happened - though this didn't match the pupil's look of horror and confusion at the whole situation.
How on earth am I supposed to keep a straight face in scenarios like that?
