Teachers have this superpower: the dreaded eye contact. You know what I'm talking about. That moment when you're daydreaming, doodling, or contemplating the mysteries of the universe, and then you lock eyes with the teacher. It's like making eye contact with a lion in the wild, except instead of running away, you have to pretend you were deeply engaged in the lesson. And it's never a casual gaze. It's a laser-focused, soul-piercing stare that says, "I see you, and I know you haven't been paying attention for the past 15 minutes." You start to question if they have a sixth sense for detecting disinterest in quadratic equations.
I had a teacher who could make you feel guilty with just a glance. It was like she had a PhD in the art of disappointed looks. I'd be daydreaming about pizza, and suddenly, I'd catch her eye, and it was as if she was saying, "Pizza won't pay the bills, young man.

Let's talk about pop quizzes. Whoever came up with the idea of springing surprise tests on students deserves an award for sadistic creativity. It's like, "Hey, let's see how much they really retained from the last five minutes of me talking while they were half-asleep." And why do they call it a "pop" quiz? Is it because it's supposed to pop your dreams of a stress-free day like a balloon? I imagine the conversation in the teacher's lounge goes like this: "Let's give them a pop quiz. That'll teach 'em to enjoy life."
I had a teacher who used to say, "Today's class is going to be a little different. We're going to have a pop quiz." Different? Different is bringing a puppy to class, not unleashing an academic ambush. I felt like I was on the set of a reality show, waiting for hidden cameras to expose the prank.
But the real challenge is trying to act like you're not sweating bullets while you try to recall what you studied—especially when the person next to you is erasing so aggressively that you're pretty sure they're rewriting the entire textbook on their paper.

Teachers have a knack for asking questions that belong in a philosophical debate rather than a math class. "If Johnny has 12 apples and gives 3 to Susie, how many apples does Johnny have left?" I don't know, but can we discuss why Johnny is so generous with his apples? Is he secretly an orchard owner? And then there are those questions with hidden agendas. "What did you learn from this lesson?" Oh, I learned that I'm not cut out for quantum physics, and I should probably stick to subjects that don't require a parallel universe to understand.
But the best is when a teacher asks a question, and the entire class goes silent. It's like we're all in this collective state of confusion, and the teacher is standing there, thinking they just dropped the mic on the most profound question in educational history.
So, to all the teachers out there, keep asking those mind-bending questions. You're turning classrooms into comedy clubs, one unanswerable question at a time.

You know, teachers have this magical ability to ask questions that make you feel like you're on a game show and you didn't study for any of the questions. It's like, "Welcome to 'Stump the Student'! Today's contestant: you, looking clueless in the third row." I had a teacher once who would ask questions that sounded more like ancient riddles. "If a train leaves the station at 60 miles per hour, carrying 200 passengers, and a giraffe gets on at the next stop, how many pancakes can fit on the roof?" I don't know, but can we talk about why there's a giraffe on the train?
And then there's that moment when you don't know the answer, and the teacher just stares at you, waiting for you to summon knowledge from the depths of your soul. It's like a staring contest, and the loser gets a failing grade. I'm convinced some teachers took classes in mind-reading just to mess with us.
But the worst is when you do know the answer, you raise your hand all confident, and the teacher says, "No, that's incorrect." And you're sitting there thinking, "Did we just enter an alternate universe where up is down, and two plus two equals avocado?
