- “Are you going to improve your work?”
When a science teacher, especially Ms. Cochrum, stares you down as they completely mark up your homework with a pencil, the only right answer is always yes.
- “Biology is an advanced course for freshman”
In theory, that sounds reasonable, until you learn that many of your peers have self-studied and already know much of the material in advance, putting you somewhat behind the eight ball.
- “Your lab is an absolute mess!”
If you’re hoping she won’t see the tiny traces of lab data copied from another group, forget it. There is no way you can ever get away with that … not with Ms. Cochrum, at least.
- “Where is your last name? WHERE IS YOUR LAST NAME?”
This is a minor detail often ignored by students, but not by Ms. Cochrum, with her laser eyes scanning your lab paper.
- “IT WAS MRS. THOMSON, SHE’S JEALOUS OF ME!!!”
You know they’re best friends who love roasting each other in front of students. Even in a lab, there is always another way to one-up the other teacher. It is just a blood typing lab, but there’s still an accusation.
- “Do you want to be like this kid?”
After watching a student break a lab tube, to add on to their freight, shaming is a good compliment to students on the verge of tears.
- “Come on … This is funny!”
After displaying a meme from the ‘90s with no one laughing, I can tell she feels the need to reinforce her identity as the most hilarious teacher on campus.
- “How was I supposed to tell my neighbor’s parents that I let their daughter die??”
Obviously an exaggeration, but how can you not be interested in the story?
- “Poopy boy”
This one often revolves around the annoying boys in her class. Beware, girls, you’re not totally safe from playful teasing either — you can be poopy too.
- “Someone loves you, just not me!!”
With great power of being a teacher comes great responsibility of teaching students, hurting them emotionally wasn’t needed though.
