15 Absurd Questions From Students That Frustrated Their Teachers

Teachers hear so many absurd things from their students that if they made a list of everything that is said, it would make an incredible bestseller. After all, during the learning process, crazy questions are inevitable. But there’s nothing you can do about it: they’re an important part of getting to know the world. In this post, we’ll show you how teachers got out of situations where their students baffled them with very strange questions.

O awesome.club gathered the best questions (if you can call them that) from students, which their teachers shared on AskReddit.

This lasted about a month of the school year. One student constantly lost his pencil in class and was left with nothing to write with. I was getting confused. Since he wouldn’t drop them on the floor, the question was, how did the pencil disappear? One day, I saw this student drop a very good but dull pencil into the trash can. I immediately ran towards him and asked:

Me: Hey buddy, why are you throwing your pencil in the trash? Still works!

He (looking at me): Hmmm, he’s done.

I: ?????

Him: I can’t write with him anymore, right? So I need to throw it out. Don’t you do the same teacher, when you can’t write anymore?

I: ?????

So, I took the pencil out of the bin (luckily, there were only papers), sharpened it and showed it to the student. I said, “Now he can write again.” He looked at me like I’d discovered a cure for cancer. It was fun. In his defense, he was only 7 years old. I still find it funny that he believed he had to throw away the blunt pencil… @lavendercoffee

Someone once asked my college professor, who was also a parachute instructor, “Have you ever died during a parachute jump?” @Escalus_Hamaya
