- What's my grade right now (remember I have 200 students so I obviously don't have all their grades scrolling through my head)
- My mom wants me to get an A
- What am I missing (the students get a print out of their grades everyday!!)
- Was I supposed to turn that in
- Is this for points
- Were we supposed to take notes on that
- Did we do anything important last time, I was gone
- What will this assignment do to my grade
- Are we doing anything important today
- Why do we have to learn this
- What can I do to pass this class (with literally 30 minutes left until term grades are due)
- This is boring
- I wasn't texting, I promise. I don't even have a phone (after some calm discussion they will finally bust their phone out of their pocket and hand it over)
- Wait, we can retake things in here (that has been the policy since August)
- Did you put in that assignment (seconds after they turned it in 3 weeks late so the answer is NO I haven't)
- I guessed on the test because I didn't study at all but I'm sure I aced it
- When does class get out
- Why do we have to take notes
- The countries in Asia - Europe, Middle East, any map we are working on - are too small
- This is too hard
- I am too tired to try and learn
- How can I get an A, I have an A- right now
- I didn't know we had a test today (then why did we spend last class period working on the review sheet??)
If you are a teacher and reading this, please tell me I am not the only one who gets crap like this EVERYDAY!!!!

haha! So true! I hear this even from GT kids!
Constantly. Especially the part about "how can I raise my grade?" on the LAST day of the six weeks. Those gems.
