funny teacher school
When I was in school the teachers told me practice makes perfect; then they told me nobody’s perfect so I stopped practicing.
teacher school class
I liked school, but I used to dread those moments when the teacher would call me up to give an oral report. I forced myself to deal with it and not dwell on the class in front of me - to keep a straight face, give the report and concentrate on getting it right. That's normally how I perform. That's how I am.
