All teachers can relate to the struggle of working in a classroom. Many times, however, students give teachers some of their best laughs with answering test questions with hilarious options. Other students freeze when called on randomly and say the first thing that pops into their heads, which often leads to a memorably fun moment. It goes without saying, but being a teacher is hard work. Whether its dealing with difficult children, handling hours of essay grading, or coming up with creative lesson plans, all educators know the struggle of working in a classroom all too well. Each day, however, presents teachers with funny, memorable moments that often remain in their memories for years to come. Among these moments is the hilarious, somewhat random answers these professionals occasionally receive from their students. As a student myself, I know just how difficult it can be juggling work, school, and a personal life. Because of this, I sometimes don't have enough time to study lesson material as much as I hope to. So when it comes time to take pen to paper and see how much knowledge I've retained from professors, I often blank. But over the years, many teachers have told me to just write a guess if I don't know the answer, so recently, I did just so.On a current events news quiz, a professor asked the question, "What college lacrosse team is currently ranked #1 in the nation'"I had no idea. I'm not a follower of sports at all and so, was about to leave the answer blank. But instead of doing that, I decided to write something that would leave my teacher with a laugh.I wrote, "Really' If I have to know sports to answer this, then you should be able to tell me which Kardashian just gave birth. It's only fair."A risky move, yes, but one that my teacher found hilarious. Upon hearing his reaction to my answer, I wondered what other hysterical answers teachers have received on tests and in the classroom, so we went ahead and spoke to five of them. When you completely zone out thinking of your favorite food.At the end of a long day, paying attention may seem impossible. Although it may appear that students are all paying close attention, more often than not, a few are probably zoned out. That's exactly what Peg, a 12th-grade teacher, found. "My all-time favorite story is when we were talking about a bookand I can't remember which oneand one of my students was gazing really thoughtfully, so I said to her, 'Do you have an idea about this'' or something along those lines."The student's response: "No. I'm just thinking about butter."When you spelling skills aren't quite up to par.Victoria, a college communications professor, starts each semester off with allowing her students to choose one topic they're interested in that they'd like to work on. She said she found it to be a fun way to get the students involved with each other and to start the school year. But she was utterly confused when she read one student's topic proposal. "One student wrote 'youth-in-Asia' for 'euthanasia.' At first, I was confused because that wasn't a topic and then I read it and realized phonetically they meant 'euthanasia.' When I first looked at it I was like 'what are they talking about''"When you take the assignment too literally.The "youth-in-Asia" debacle was not the only hilarious situation to happen to Victoria."I did have students complete an assignment onceit's kind of a terrible speech where they have to give bad examples of speaking," she told INSIDER. "One student took off their shoe and threw it across the room because their impression was one of the elements of bad speaking was making your audience feel attacked, so they took that pretty literallythey just threw their shoe in anger."She added, "Ever since then, I had to tell students to not throw anything during their speeches to make sure that other students wouldn't get hurt."See the rest of the story at Business Insider
