“I was a student in class at the time, but we had this kid named Micheal, and for whatever reason some of the other kids called him ‘Mickle’ (pronounced like pickle). In music class, a room designed for sounds to travel, a kid passed a note to him that said, ‘I’ll give you a nickel if you tickle my pickle, Mickle.’ And the music teacher snatched it and read it aloud. I don’t think she realized what she read till it was too late but I could tell she was holding in a giggle.” — Rauswaffen

“I’m not a teacher but a student who witnessed the whole event.Where I go to, you can get detention for drawing or vandalizing the school bathrooms. Anyways a friend of mine who happened to be an artist himself thought it would be a good idea to paint the Mona Lisa on one of the bathroom stalls and it was so impressive one might even think he copied and pasted the actual painting onto the stall. After lunch everyone was gathering around to look at this masterpiece and the school had to look at the security cameras to find the culprit and they gave the kid a 2 day suspension plus having to clean up the painting which is bull****.” — AM_Conspiracy

“I was teaching a biology mentoring summer camp during grad school for high school students interested in health care. Most of the students were middle to upper middle class kids who came to the summer camp with all of the electronics you can imagine. One day we gave the kids an assignment to create their own resume so that they could use it as a template. The day after it was due I was called to the coordinators office where they requested me to speak to one of the students. They told me he clearly didn’t follow the template and all of his margins were off. They instructed me to tell him to make sure he follows directions. I went to the kid and he told me that he didn’t have a laptop and he stayed up all night on his flip phone so that he could complete the assignment via text message. He texted it to one of the other students so that they could print it for him and he was too embarrassed to ask for help. This is the type of phone where you have to hit certain numbers multiple times to get the correct letter. I was so impressed I worked with him during that days lunch period to get the resume completed the right way on my laptop. I was so impressed because he was so committed and was unwilling to request help. I just told him that as you age you’ll know that you can’t do it on your own. I kept in contact with the kid and he finished top of his class at University of Maryland and is set to complete his doctorate of pharmacy next year. I always think about that kid but he really is impressive. He had to skip lunch so that he could redo it but he was overjoyed for the opportunity.” — questnnansr

“I was an educator at outside school care where a violent third grade boy started kicking and punching a first grade girl. I’m running over, and before anyone else knows it, this little girl spins around this little shit’s arm and puts him in an arm…hold? pain compliance hold? I don’t know the term. The little shit goes crazy trying to kick her, but I grabbed him and moved him away, and turn to the girl. She thought she was in trouble, though I was nothing but complimenting and reassurance she did the right thing.” — accidental_superman

“I was on recess duty with a bunch of 7-9 year olds one day, and this kid ran up to me to point out a couple of other kids fighting. I turn around, and yep, looked like a fight. As I went over there, a couple things stood out – the two fighting were besties (so it was weird that they were fighting), and they were making sound effects. Dudes were playing out some epic Star Wars battle, complete with stick sabers and the blaster noises and everything. Their stunt coordination was on point, y’all. I had to make them put down the sticks and holster their finger guns (by the rules, I should have sent them to the principal to be suspended for the finger guns, but that’s ridiculous for consensual play-acting, so no), but commended them on how real it all looked.” — lnamorata
