Can we have a moment of appreciation for teachers? Not only do they carry the massive responsibility of educating our youth, but they also have to deal with a lot of lip from students! Of course, one 8th grade teacher online has been having fun with some of the hilarious things her kids say in class. In fact, she’s been sharing them (anonymously) on social media!

When Miss Dugan posted a video titled, “Things that my 8th graders have said to me,” it received over 17 million views. She repeated a variety of comments from her students, ranging from sassy insults to almost undecipherable slang. People loved the clip so much, the teacher decided to make another one. As it turns out, there were plenty more great quotes where those came from!

In her follow-up video, it seems that Miss Dugan’s students specifically have a lot of questions about her personal appearance.

“Why do you smile like that?” asked one child.

Another, not quite understanding how makeup works, inquired, “What is that black stuff on your eye? Are you ok? It was there the other day, too.”

Although some of the things these 8th graders have said may sound a bit ruthless, these students are also endearingly innocent at times. This is especially true when it comes to human biology, apparently.

“I thought only boys had hormones,” one confused child said.

Sometimes, it’s not really clear what Miss Dugan’s kids are saying. They often seem to communicate in a language all their own.

“That kid glazed me at a D1 level,” the teacher repeated in her video, looking nonplussed. “He was first round pick in the glazing draft.”

Of course, Miss Dugan saved the most savage comment from her students for the very end.

“You’re giving single-core,” one kid told her.

We hope this teacher keeps making these videos, because the things her 8th graders say are just too funny!
