Grade these essays with a straight face

Here's what my 5th graders have to say about a good teacher and a good student:

A Good Teacher...
  • should assign no homework (who saw that coming?)
  • maybe sometimes they will play a game if students are good
  • helps you when you are confused
  • most of all should be educational
  • it would be nice to not be mean to the students
  • should not be a grumpy bear
  • always respects her students' wishes (Is that a wish?)
  • makes us smart
  • gives her students an A+ every time on their report cards


A Good Student...
  • friendly to their pears (that's a direct quote from a journal entry)
  • will be no slacking at NO time
  • thinks all day
  • should not yell
  • does not talk about nasty stuff
  • make sure they try to get good grades
  • always amazing and outstanding
  • never bosses anyone around
  • needs to read

Okay, so there were some really good essays, and many of them expressed themselves very well. But these were just classic.
