Only in a Middle School Classroom...

A conversation today in my classroom.

Me:  *Bobby* you have until the end of the day to turn in your current event.  By "end of the day" I mean 11:59.  That's one of the perks of Edmodo, you can turn in your assignment at the exact last minute.

*Johnny*:  OR!  You could be real Ninja-like and sneak into the school and turn the paper copy into the basket at 11:59.

Me:  Nope.  I don't accept paper copies anymore, only online.  Plus, you shouldn't worry about anything but being a ninja and getting your project done.  Ninja's get their work done. 

Explode various background conversations from all students...

Like me.  I get my homework done.  I'm a ninja!

No I'm a ninja.

I get my homework done.  Ninja's get their homework done. 

Ninjas are smart.  There are no stupid ninjas. 

What about Beverly Hill's Ninja?  He was pretty dumb.

Ha! I'm a real ninja.  I'm Asian!

Hey guys we better stop.  You made Mrs. Weber cry.

She's not crying.  She's ok.  She's just laughing.
