8th grader: "Oh! The Seduction Act!"

Me: "Close... I think you mean the Alien and Sedition Act."

Me:  Gabbie, the attendance program says you're absent yet you are here.
Gabbie:  I was absent for homeroom.
Me:  But it still says you're absent; so, I'm going to treat you like you're not here today.
Gabbie:  Good, if I'm not here, then I don't have to answer any questions.
Me:  That was good!

Middle School Understanding of the Material

Teaching my 8th graders The Bill of Rights... One of my students asked me if it's the 7th Commandment that gives someone the right to sue someone else. Uhhh, close!
