I Wish My Teacher Knew...

Many of you have read the article floating around Facebook recently about the teacher who asked her students to write to her using the prompt "I wish my teacher knew..." She did this in an effort to get to know her students better and to build on the trust between teacher and student. That teacher got a lot of shocking and upsetting responses such as "I don't have a pencil to do my homework at night." 

I decided to try this out with my students last week in an effort to get to know them better... But they took a slightly different, more hilarious approach. Here are their responses:

Some were random...

Some were very sweet... :)

Some of them started confessing their crushes...

This one was pretty valid... I also wish I knew why we have outer space...

There were a few sad ones... 

But nothing beats the winner... 

^and here I thought I was excellent at teaching math! Haha
