Embarrassing Teacher Moment: Fake?

 



This is probably one of the more idiotic moments I've had in the classroom. 

I had a student who turned in a paper to  me, and in it he had written the word "fake" only he spelled it "faque." I called him to my desk at the back, kinda laughing at the mistake because...well...really? lol! 

I told him how to correct the error. Then he asked, "Well, what does this spell?" 

I said, "Maybe fu-q?" And I just kept saying it, trying it out in different ways. 

Slowly the other students would turn and sneak looks at me as if I had lost my mind. And well...say it out loud and I think you'll see why. When I realized what I had done, I turned beet red. Ugh!! I had to tell my principal about it in case any parents called to express concern. Luckily none did. 

Seriously...FU-Q???????
