There are many professions that have their fair share of difficulties but perhaps one that has to deal with those problems on a day-to-day basis is teaching. If you have a teacher in your life, you realize that they love children and they want to do everything they can to help them but the problems often mount up very quickly. It doesn’t always have to do with the behavior of the kids, sometimes it just has to do with their quick thinking. That fact is perfectly illustrated in the following short stories that will leave you laughing at what kids can say.
